Our daughter in Portland, OR needed pots and pans and other kitchenware so, I reached out to Common Housefly.

Figured I should grab some more booze as well, ABC doesn't sell bitters, but luckily they were able to recommend the selection at common housefly. If you plan of stopping in quickly, that's not going to happen. Especially if you're a foodie/love to cook like me. This place has everything and then some. Several types of bitters in different flavors. An amazing local selection that was looking a little bare but I assume that's just from the tourist being back in town. Spoons in every shape, size, color you can imagine. Trinkets and gadgets galore! I picked up 2 different bitters, some fancy ice cube makers and some cocktail salt. From first glance it looks like the store is fairly small but every inch is utilized neatly. Keep walking back and you'll see that the store has another ears in the back. Filled with more goodies for the foodie in your life. I could get into some serious trouble in this store. Lucky for me the prices are not unreasonable either. Stop on in, give yourself plenty of time, and ask question if you need help. The staff is quite lovely too!

Over the past year, I decided it was finally time to begin my Le Creuset journey after using the…read moresame cookware for nearly 15 years. I knew I wanted Le Creuset because these pieces are more than cookware... they're future heirlooms, filled with stories, meals, and memories waiting to happen. From the very first time I walked into the Asheville, NC Le Creuset outlet store, I was completely overwhelmed in the best way. I didn't know which pieces to start with or what color palette I wanted to build, but then I met Janet. Somehow, she instantly understood exactly what I was looking for before I even knew myself. What started as shopping for cookware quickly turned into one of the sweetest friendships I could have imagined. Janet has guided me through every piece, every collection, every "you absolutely need to see this" phone call, and every exciting deal on something I had been eyeing. Her knowledge, passion, kindness, and genuine love for people make her truly one of a kind. Watching Janet become manager has made me unbelievably proud because no one deserves it more. She and her incredible team have created something so much bigger than a store. Every visit feels like coming home. The hospitality, warmth, and sincere love for both the product and the customers are unmatched. I drive almost two hours to get to the Asheville store, and I will continue to do so every single time because places like this are rare. Janet and her team have made my Le Creuset journey so meaningful, and I'm beyond grateful for every beautiful memory created there.

The store is, like others, tightly packed with stuff. Some shelving is quite tall and the aisles are all narrow, except for the ones that are the loop around the store. You're not getting past someone with a cart here. Claustrophobic. Not sure how someone with a wheelchair operates here. They're doing a clearance of their Christmas stuff right now, so you can pick up some bargains if you don't mind sitting on it until next year. [Review 12662 overall, 2454 of 2019.]

This store is broken up into two big rooms. The one towards the left is more upscale gift like. You will find lotions, cards, kitchen gadgets and candles/soaps. While it is a bit pricey, I love the local and well curated feel. They have nice candies and snacks from Asheville and some great natural products. Some old fashioned soda in the back for hot summer days. The right side is more your everyday stuff and traditional general store items. You will find actual hardware, command strips, soil, birdseed and leaning supplies. The front has cute games and books. Again, check the prices as some are quite fair (I got birdseed and a birdfeeder for the cat that costs similar to Amazon prices) but some can be high. Other random info- They also do handiwork and make key copies. That's nifty. You can become a member and get some discounts if you wish (it's free).
