The owner is incredibly sweet and has the cutest dog who greets you as you enter(he's very sweet and doesn't bark or bite.) I love the aesthetic of the store. Nothing is too organized and you can pick up and look at everything! The atmosphere is quiet and laid back. It's really nice to see the immense age difference in all their selection. The owner seems to like sheep as there are many stuffed animal sheep lying around and some yard statues outside. It's a sweet place that it's easy to spend hours lost in.

It is set up like a typical antiques mall with items provided by different vendors, so you'll see some items priced higher than others based on who the vendor is, but I found the prices overall to be good. I stocked up on vintage glass decanters that were priced well below what I would normally see at similar stores in other cities, which was surprising given that resort town prices are often inflated. We met a vendor as we browsed, a friendly older gentlemen who asked about the items we were inspecting and told us where he sources most of his wares, and the lady who checked us out was also helpful and kind. Lots of records and toys, but you'll also find all the variety of items you expect in an antiques market. Finding the set of chicken decanters and the world's largest witch's broom were worth the trip even if I hadn't scored so many of the decanters I was searching for that day. We will definitely make this store part of our itinerary every time we return to Sugar Mountain.

Dear owners of Mountain Threads - I came from Greensboro to…read morevisit your shop. I had the directions and list of materials for a project and wanted to purchase high-quality rope cording. So I approached a very glittery young woman with her bosom about to fall out of her red dress by saying, "I have a project materials list that calls for 100 feet of clothesline cord." She directed me to purchase this at a WalMart. Wow. Isn't selling various sizes of cord what your business is all about? She also told me that clothesline type cording cost $1/foot so I would pay $100 for cording if I purchased it at Mountain Threads. No - it costs $1 per yard. The owner/artisan seated behind a sewing machine in the back room was being monopolized by one female (customer? just curious?) and no one could break into that Q&A/tutorial without being rude. So, basically, there was no one in-the-know available. The store is cute. The staff is friendly (maybe too friendly with people who will monopolize you). The location on Main St is easy to find but beware that parking in Blowing Rock can be very difficult in the "high seasons". The selection of fabrics, machine needles, and cording is strong. You just have to get past the not so well informed staff member in the front room.

Awesome little souvenir shop, art gallery, camping supply store and more all mashed into an old school general store. The person working was happy to share information about the store itself. At the time of my visit, they hadn't even been open a year. So far it's been a hit in the community. Follow their Instagram to see some of the cool things they have for sale. They are constantly getting more stock! The store features an antique oddities type display which was super cool. The decor is fun and really just makes the store what it is. Looking for a souvenir for yourself or a gift to bring home? They have it! Jewelry, art prints, glass art, handmade journals, stickers, Nalgene bottles, hiking backpacks, dog leashes, specialty drinks, bagged coffee, socks, hats, shirts. You name it.
