Shopping in Asheville

On a winter Saturday afternoon, blue skies often mean a trip across the mountain to Asheville, North Carolina for Mr. Mickey and me.



We took a break from shopping in the Grove Arcade to visit Carmel's. One of our favorite treats is their homemade pimento cheese appetizer, a house-made blend of cheeses with jalapenos served with garlic crostini.




Later in the day, a cup of hot chocolate was just the thing to take away the chill.




It's always fun to visit the Screendoor to look through an eclectic mix of treasures, junque, and books.





No trip to the Biltmore Village is ever complete until we stop by Chico's for a peek at the sale rack. The necklace, long sleeve tee, vest, and pants I am wearing today are all old from Chico's. The coat is also old from Geiger. The short boots were Ralph Lauren via T.J.Maxx last year. The black Tignanello handbag is old from SteinMart.




I hope your shopping trips have been successful!

Biltmore is on my list to visit. I've only been to Asheville once, we wandered downtown and ate at a fantastic Indian restaurant (the Rose?) . We are so close living in Atlanta. Now I have some great ideas of where else to go!

I've wanted to get back to Asheville after we did a short day trip there. Now I have more things to check out. Biltmore is on my list!
