Terri's Treasure Trove

Terri’s Treasure Trove

The old 1950’s Ford truck marks the spot, let your pickin' and junkin' begin! With twinkling string lights stretched between rustic sheds and porches spilling over with fun treasures, this shop feels like you are stepping into a living postcard from the past. You’ll spot Route 66 table and chairs ready for front porch sitting at your home, Coca-Cola vending machines with plenty of tales to tell, and chandeliers swaying in the breeze.

Step inside, it only gets better. Terri's Treasure Trove is wonderfully decorated with farmhouse charm, repurposed light fixtures glowing over carefully curated displays. Sets of dishes sit ready to be paired with serving ware and matching colorful accessories – picture cherries, lemons, and bumble bees. Vintage pewter tea sets, old rotary phones, and seasonal décor are tucked in between, making it almost too easy to grab something that gives your home a cozy new (but old!) look.

Black Bear Antiques

Prepare for this one - this stop is going to take some time. With over 2,100 square feet and 100 different vendors, plan to wander, linger and maybe even lose track of time (in the best way). Old, new, farmhouse, rustic, crafted, man cave, and she shed items galore! If it’s unique, you’ll find it here at Black Bear Antiques.

For anyone just moving to the mountains, this is your one-stop shop for cabin charm. Picture cozy woodsy décor, black bear accents, and mountain-lodge vibes that feel right at home among the pines. And if your garage or man cave needs a boost, dig in the aisles packed with neon lights, metal signs, and tools of yesteryear. It’s so much more than décor, though. Rummage through boxes of Case knives for that perfect addition to your collection or uncover jewelry that reminds you of your grandmother’s vanity tray. Every shelf, crate, and corner tells a story – you just have to find the one that speaks to you. This isn’t just shopping; it’s treasure hunting down memory lane.

Blue Ridge Antique Mall

There’s no better place for an antique shop than inside the old Rexall Drugstore right in the heart of Downtown Blue Ridge. Back in 1945, locals gathered here at the soda fountain for sandwiches, root beer floats, and hand-dipped ice cream shipped up from Atlanta by train. The original Rexall sign still hangs proudly outside, a nod to the good ol’ days.

Step inside and it’s like time travel with a twist at Blue Ridge Antique Mall. Shelves brim with true antiques — cast iron skillets seasoned with history, vintage fly rods waiting to make their next catch, and stoneware moonshine jugs whispering stories from another era. You might even stumble across a stack of old baseball cards, golf clubs with a few rounds left in them, or kitchenware that takes you right back to Grandma’s Sunday suppers.

Inside, the cozy, rustic vibe wraps around you like a favorite quilt.

Antique crocks, distressed picture frames, and river-inspired accents bring that perfect touch of nostalgia.

Collectors and curious visitors alike will find American Silver Eagles, gold, silver, platinum, and palladium coins and bars, commemorative coins, and foreign and world coins from all corners of the globe.
