It was nice to visit but the amount of Confederate memorabilia (heroic Stonewall riding through town with the traitorous flag) left me with a bad taste. I could have overlooked this bit of Southern Pride but then I came across the most racist thing I've ever seen in my years on this planet. A shelf dedicated to "black" memorabilia- a sat and pepper shaker set of little black boys that were created to overwhelminlgly resemble apes. It made me sick to my stomach.

We were in the area to go to another vintage store nearby and popped into House of Kismet on a…read morewhim. WOW. This is the BEST vintage store I have ever been in, and I do a LOT of vintage shopping, from NY to FL. I was completely knocked out by H of K because: 1) They have larger sized women's clothing! Several dresses that were probably size 10-12 which is super rare since most vintage is size 2-4. 2) They have men's clothes - a lot of them. Most vintage stores have a lot of women's items and hardly any men's, but H of K is about 40% menswear. 3) EVERYTHING is in immaculate condition. The prices reflect this, but nothing I thought was out of reach since you're buying one of a kind, well made clothing. To be clear, this is vintage, not thrift. Some of the items are up to 100 years old, so you can't expect it's going to be $5. 4) Woman working there was so nice! Not pretentious, not pushy, not overbearing, but welcoming--and very sweet when I asked if I could take pictures for my review. 5) There is NO junk or random crap - it's obvious that someone has a keen eye for beautiful things and thoughtfully puts them together in collections. When we visited, there were selections of kimonos, smoking jackets, leather capes (!), summer dresses, etc. What's amazing is that it would be 8-20 of each "genre" so you have a pick of colors and sizes... it's not just one random cape or top hat. There's also home items sprinkled throughout, but in a way that is intentional and curated (like the wool camp blankets in the men's section, vintage quilts near a small section of kids' clothes, selection of aluminum thermoses by the outerwear). 6) I collect vintage women's hats and the selection at H of K is exquisite. Very fine examples of 40's/50's hats in absolute mint condition, and fairly priced. I went a bit bonkers taking pictures of everything - this shop is an absolute dream, and I wish I lived closer so I could visit every weekend. House of Kismet is an incredibly rare combination of incredible items and friendliness.

Pricing is really hit or miss, but nothing is outrageous. I found that their cuff links were much cheaper than I find in other places, but some of the larger or more well known were a little higher. I didn't do any bargaining so I'm not really sure how much wiggle room there is. They had a large stash of local Haywood County oriented postcards that were unused and had that great linen texture, which I felt like was a real find.

Packed with everything from clothing to housewares and some furniture. Two stories. It's the kind of place that caters to both the truly poor ( with a separate ministry) while attracting ALL income levels and those of us who are searching for that great find. I could spend days, literally, going through all the piles of treasures they have in this store. We go once a week looking for good deals and here's the thing about Second Blessings: They price to sell! The front rooms have little auction tags, which are fun to do, and often I just cruise the expired auction tags, which are then available at the initial bid price of $2 or something. And they're flexible! Also take advantage of their food room which offers breads and frozen items for any donation amount. GREAT PLACE! Tons of awesome items. A few examples of what we've actually purchased: Small couch, sets of gorgeous curtains, old lamp, fabric and decor items, wooden chairs, womens clothing, drawer pulls hardware. Way cool store!

I fight down a panic and try to not feel numb. For me, thrift stores are an antidote. This thrift store has been rearranged. It is bigger now. More space to move. Clothing was hung by color or print. Most stuff is arranged in certain categories and labeled. Small, framed pictures were hard to get to. Scarfs were overflowing. You have to put in an effort in some areas still, but overall, the makeover of this shop is a great improvement. There is even a unisex bathroom now! However, the sink was not working. Not ideal, pandemic or no pandemic. No no if you have to go go. The dressing rooms were not open. Not sure why. Rampant theft of six-year-old Old Navy blouses, or just HCM trying not to entice people to share small spaces with abated breaths. The reason that I removed one star is because one of the cashiers is INCREASING THE PRICES AT HER DISCRETION. Her doing that is immoral and may even be unlawful. I let her get away with it with the book I was buying. The price had been reduced by half, but she added a quarter. However, just about twenty minutes ago, my daughter told me that the cashier did the same with her craft items. I know that HCM has to fix the sink, but I draw the line at scamming a kid. I feel good that by us shopping here, we are supporting people in times of crises. But I don't have to support a con. I will return when I can clean my hands and HCM cleans their souls.
