Yes, some things are "I know what I got" ridiculous pricing, but if you search, there are actually some wonderful antique finds and collectibles at fair, honest pricing. I'm a bibliophile and have found some beautiful leatherbound hardback books here, as well as a bell creamer from the UK, and a hat from a famous New Orleans milliner. But every time we're at our Maggie Valley property, it's seemingly closed.

My next project was to rebuild an antique corner cabinet and I found some old shelving at Big Red Barn that was perfect for the project. We have purchased a new home in Maggie Valley and Terry purchased a table and chairs that we no longer wanted. He gave me a fair price for the items and we both made out on the deal. I like to refurbish antiques and collectibles so the place really fits the bill for me. I have also rented a U haul from there and the service was excellent. My kind of place.

It was nice to visit but the amount of Confederate memorabilia (heroic Stonewall riding through town with the traitorous flag) left me with a bad taste. I could have overlooked this bit of Southern Pride but then I came across the most racist thing I've ever seen in my years on this planet. A shelf dedicated to "black" memorabilia- a sat and pepper shaker set of little black boys that were created to overwhelminlgly resemble apes. It made me sick to my stomach.

Ellie's is NOT that. Bright, clean, no smell of 'other people's stuff'. Fresh, very well organized inventory. Need a cardigan in a specific size and color and don't have time to comb through racks and racks of stuff? This is your place. You could literally walk in, look at the great signage and find your cardi in the right color and size within a minute or 2. Nice name brands in great condition (no pilled or pulled droopy worn out stuff). Add to that the owner is friendly, personable and helpful when needed an not in your face when not. Loved this place and found a great deal or two. Totally recommend.

Packed with everything from clothing to housewares and some furniture. Two stories. It's the kind of place that caters to both the truly poor ( with a separate ministry) while attracting ALL income levels and those of us who are searching for that great find. I could spend days, literally, going through all the piles of treasures they have in this store. We go once a week looking for good deals and here's the thing about Second Blessings: They price to sell! The front rooms have little auction tags, which are fun to do, and often I just cruise the expired auction tags, which are then available at the initial bid price of $2 or something. And they're flexible! Also take advantage of their food room which offers breads and frozen items for any donation amount. GREAT PLACE! Tons of awesome items. A few examples of what we've actually purchased: Small couch, sets of gorgeous curtains, old lamp, fabric and decor items, wooden chairs, womens clothing, drawer pulls hardware. Way cool store!

I fight down a panic and try to not feel numb. For me, thrift stores are an antidote. This thrift store has been rearranged. It is bigger now. More space to move. Clothing was hung by color or print. Most stuff is arranged in certain categories and labeled. Small, framed pictures were hard to get to. Scarfs were overflowing. You have to put in an effort in some areas still, but overall, the makeover of this shop is a great improvement. There is even a unisex bathroom now! However, the sink was not working. Not ideal, pandemic or no pandemic. No no if you have to go go. The dressing rooms were not open. Not sure why. Rampant theft of six-year-old Old Navy blouses, or just HCM trying not to entice people to share small spaces with abated breaths. The reason that I removed one star is because one of the cashiers is INCREASING THE PRICES AT HER DISCRETION. Her doing that is immoral and may even be unlawful. I let her get away with it with the book I was buying. The price had been reduced by half, but she added a quarter. However, just about twenty minutes ago, my daughter told me that the cashier did the same with her craft items. I know that HCM has to fix the sink, but I draw the line at scamming a kid. I feel good that by us shopping here, we are supporting people in times of crises. But I don't have to support a con. I will return when I can clean my hands and HCM cleans their souls.
