They also have a large selection of wax, stickers, snowboarding clothes, and skateboards and have cool snowboarding videos playing while you browse. I was in need of a lot of handholding selecting a new pair of boots and the sales guy was super knowledgeable, patient and helpful. They also offer unlimited free heat moldings. I wouldn't have even thought to go a half size down than my shoe size but now my boots fit like a glove! Thanks so much Flipside!

I spotted Lily Pulitzer, Talbots, Chicos, and Johnny Was among others. I found a Talbots jacket I have regretted not purchasing ever since it sold out and a pair of Oncept sneakers in the perfect shade of pink and that was just the beginning. The staff are welcoming and helped me find a few pieces in my size I might have missed. Also fun: certain tag colors are 25 or 50% off I'll be back to shop any time I am near Waynesville!

I visited this place with my mom, sister and niece a few weeks ago. The shop owner and his wife…read morewere very nice! I didn't notice that there was a $5 minimum on debit cards and my first order came up to $4.75 and he said "close enough." He told my sister how to pop the popcorn she purchased in the microwave in a paper bag (and gave her some extra paper bags) and he let us try the Amish pain relief cream. He was full of stories and overall just a really nice man. I don't see how this place got a negative review. I'm tempted to drive the 5 hours to go back because I really love the handmade oatmeal soap I purchased!

Stopped in to look around and noticed we were the only customers. It only took a few minutes to…read moresee that the rest of the customers had probably been chased away! The storekeeper apparently doesn't like folks too much - especially folks that might want to buy something. My husband and I were eyed suspiciously while we walked around the store. I chose four replica vintage spice canisters and moved on to look at some vintage signs. The storekeeper rushed me out of the aisle with an abrupt "excuse me" and began slamming boxes around angrily on the next aisle. I thought maybe he was just having a bad day and gave him the benefit of the doubt. Then I noticed that there were little handwritten signs on all kinds of items around the store. "Do NOT touch lamp, do NOT get the signs out of order (vintage sign replicas in a bin, how are you supposed to get them out of order?), do NOT, do NOT, do NOT - there was even a sign on a cheap little clown figurine that read "broken by a LOSER" (I assume this LOSER must have been an actual customer)?! Mind you, nothing in the shop was actually vintage or antique - all just typical souvenir quality reprints. My husband and I looked at each other like "oookkkaaayyyy" and put our selections back on the shelf and left. The souvenir shops in this area are a dime a dozen and it's unfortunate that a shop with a "stand out" name like Tarnished Swan didn't have the customer service to match. As far as I'm concerned, there is a "do NOT enter" sign on this door!

What a delightful find in Waynesville!…read more I had gone for a run while away on vacation and on my route saw a familiar name--I enjoy shopping at the Fifi's in Cornelius, NC as well--and had to check it out! At the end of my run I returned and asked if they were associated with 'my' store 2 hours away. Not only are they, but I learned from the very nice and helpful salesperson that they have 17 stores in the southeast! It never even occurred to me to look for Fifi's elsewhere, so I was thrilled to learn this little tidbit! Now...the real reason for being there was shopping and boy was I ever pleased! A Ralph Lauren skirt in my size on the 5$ rack! I found an amazing St. John suit jacket...well, I found several but one can only buy so much at once without a scowling husband. ;) The store was clean, well-lit and had a super selection in many sizes. While not a petite myself, I was impressed to see a fully separate section for those sizes as well as a really great plus size selection! I wear 6 or 8 generally and there were a BEVY of items in those sizes. I truly think I could have completely restocked my wardrobe there--even a few evening pieces--had I chosen to stay on permanent vacation and not returned home. The shoe selection seemed quite nice in sizes up to 11, I alas wear a 13, so nothing for me, but lots of pretty pairs to look at and excellent pricing for shoes still in nearly new condition. While I cannot imagine making a trip all the way to Waynesville only to shop a consignment store, I can guarantee you that any future trip I do make there will include a stop at this delightful gem...and a purchase or two!

They were going all out when I was checking their store out. It was after Thanksgiving, so we were there for the yule time. This place has so many things that smell so, so strongly. They've got jars upon jars of potpourri, and scented candles. You could smell this store when the doors opened. They've got a bunch of olive oils, and it looked like they were giving away samples in other times, but not at the moment. They sell lots of soaps, oils, and the like too. The clerks were nonchalant about my roaming around. I didn't bother to try and get up in the window display with a chair in it that looks like it might be a comfortable place to sit and watch traffic go by.
