This is our fourth year coming up to Smoky Mountain Christmas Tree Farm, and we just love Robbie…read moreand the farm! The trees are beautiful, well-grown and beautifully shaped, and Robbie is so friendly and sweet. One of our kids is having surgery next week and was worried he wouldn't be able to join in our family tradition of finding the perfect tree. I called and explained the situation, and Robbie very kindly offered to let us visit a little early this year Thank you Robbie!!!

We have been getting trees from here for the past decade. They are high quality and gorgeous. Some…read moreare precut, some you can pick and have it cut down right then and there. The prices are very fair and Mr. H. and co. are always, always friendly. If you go early in the season proper you can get cider and cookies in the red barn at the farm. You can also rent the cabin on the property. You can't miss it. It is rustic and charming. I mean the cabin, but the whole farm has an aura of warmth and secret places among the trees. Make sure you call first, as the trees go fast. The farm is easy to find- the road will curve twice, you go slightly uphill, and bam. You're there, ready to later beg for yet more Target ornaments and to begin a new memory of cheer and goodwill.

BARDO the Tibetan word for "in-between state" - which according to their Facebook page makes BARDO…read morean in-between place. I found myself drifting along Main Street in Highlands, North Carolina when I gazed upon the exterior of this lovely little shop. It was filled with quirky design pieces that appeal to lovers of shabby chic interiors, so I decided to look inside. If I were in shopping mode I might have lost my mind. Furnishings like these would fill my home inside and out if my pockets were deeper. There were several pieces that spoke to my individual taste and style, including a wonderful dining room table that would probably cost $2500 or more in Restoration Hardware or Pottery Barn (I forgot to take a picture of it). When I inquired of the cost I was given a price of $1800, much less that I expected. I asked if it was made here in North Carolina, a state known for its quality furniture and the owners reply was "No, it came from Atlanta!" The irony caused me to laugh out loud. Little shops like this are what made my day visit to this charming little mountain town such a pleasure. I didn't have a need to make a purchase this time, but it's such a wonderful little town that Bardo gives me an easy reason to come back!
