The Biltmore Estate is a little difficult to travel to from Texas, but the trip was well worth it…read more Asheville turned out to be a hospitable, quiet town and the airport was squeaky clean. The Biltmore Estate recommends renting a vehicle to reach the property, and from there, it was very easy getting from the hotel to the Vanderbilt house for their daily, self-led, audio guided house tours. There are also a number of daily guided tours about various topics. When I visited, there was a great exhibit in the basement describing the man power, architectural influences, and time it took for this 175,000 sq foot private residence to be realized. The old Vanderbilts spent a great deal of time and resources building accommodations for travelers and guests making the trip out to Asheville. I'm always curious to know what's going on behind the scenes so I went on the service quarters guided tour and thought it was great. There is also a courtyard where they converted parts of the stables into gift shops, cafes, and the Stables restaurant. It was like we were all welcomed visitors to a place frozen in time sans the horse drawn carriage. Overall, I really enjoyed that the property is in really good condition and appears to be well provided for in addition to being successfully managed. I recommend this trip to anyone interested in American history and architecture. There's a lot of walking involved and it's very group friendly, but small children will probably get tired easily.

Tucked away in a quaint old coach house, Colonial Florist is an adorable, local flower shop. The…read morestore itself is overflowing with flowers, flower paraphernalia (pots, vases, ribbons), and cheery, helpful salespeople. Colonial has always helped out when we've needed flowers for family events - even on very short notice (That's right - if you live in the Waynesville area and have received flowers from me, they may have been last-minute. My secret is safe with Colonial!). As a bonus, Colonial is home to a couple friendly animals. Papa B. met a cat on one of his visits, and later that weekend, I was greeted by a German Shepard puppy. Flowers and puppies? It doesn't get much better than that!

The gentleman (Mr. Jack) who took my…read morevery specific order for red tulips and I had what I thought was a long conversation on exactly what I would happily pay $120 including delivery fee for a bouquet of red tulips. Apparently, I was wrong because what was delivered was a bouquet of lilies with tulips. I call and spoke to Mr. Jack and his response to my dissatisfaction was... "I did you a favor by adding the lilies plus I didn't charge you for the lilies" I did not ask him to add any other flower to MY ORDER and I was quite thrilled in his assurance that my requested bouquet could be filled. Sadly, he ruined my birthday gift to my dear friend. I will never give my business to Colonial Floral & gifts ever again nor will I recommend them to anyone. Mr. Jack did offer to go pick up the arrangement that was delivered to my friend informing me that -he would be "happy to go pick up the bouquet" So, that's how CF&G do business. Such a shame!

We found that both carry the same items, however, so if you've been to one you might not need to hit the other one. But since I've been to both I thought I'd write a bit here, too. It may be bias since the other location was the one I was first acquainted with but I found the other space a bit more comfortable and charming. Not to say there's anything wrong with this one. I just love the more rustic, wood decor of the other. But this location still has so many delicious honey varietals to choose from! They have their own locally sourced honey including Sourwood and Wildflower, and some sourced varieties from out of state, including Tupelo from Florida and the Chicory and Meadowfoam from the Pacific NW. They even carry Lehua from Hawaii and Fireweed from Alaska! There's also infused flavors like coffee, ghost pepper, chai, lavender, vanilla bean, and more. And the best part? You can try them all! They also have some really cute bee themed housewares, plus skin care, candles, and other products made from beeswax. Perfect for gifting or hoarding for yourself. Not that I'd know anything about that.... ;)

There's something about prepping seed trays, dropping a seed or two into the slots and providing water so those little seeds can sprout that soothes my soul. I'll never know why I thought I could get away with buying seeds off Amazon and have success. Same process, only not one seed sprouted. Zero percent germination. Oh I waited. Five days. A week. Fifteen days. Nothing. So I placed an Eden Brothers order and got back to work. And you know what? Three days in and these seeds had life! Seven days later, 100% germination. I learned a lesson - a trusted source with loads of planting info and a website that's a breeze to navigate is always the way to go. Love the heck outta you Eden Brothers!
