Parfums de Essentia
Handcrafted small batch fragrance, family owned and made in the United States. A sampler first if you are buying it for someone else.
Horse Feathers Mercantile sells online and ships anywhere in the United States, and orders can also be
picked up in the store at 52 Front Street in Dillsboro, North Carolina. The shop is organized into six
departments: women's clothing, jewelry and turquoise, western and hats, pantry and gifts, home and decor,
and antiques and vintage. Most of the floor is one of a kind and never listed online, so anything seen in
the store or on Instagram can be found and shipped by calling 828 276 5157.
The Shop
Buy it from here, or call and we will find it
Six departments you can browse and order online, shipped anywhere in the country. And one phone number for the pieces that never make it onto a website.
How shopping here works
A store with one of almost everything
The floor is bought piece by piece rather than ordered by the case. That is what makes it worth the drive, and it is why the website works a little differently than most.
One
Browse by department
What is listed online is in the store right now. When it sells on Front Street it comes off the site the same day.
Two
Ships or waits for you
We ship anywhere in the United States, or hold your order at the counter if you are coming through town.
Three
Call for the rest
Most of the floor is one of a kind and never gets listed. Describe it and we will find it, photograph it and send it.
Six departments
Pick a room and have a look
Some of these travel better than others, so each one says what to expect before you get your hopes up.
Women's clothing
Ships wellDresses, sets and layers. Bought one at a time, so a size that fits is worth taking home when you see it.

Jewelry and turquoise
Ships wellSilver, stones and handmade local pieces. Small enough to post, big enough to matter.

Western and hats
Ships wellHats, tooled bags, buckles, blankets and our own t-shirts. The most reliable things to buy from a distance.

Home and decor
Call about the large piecesChina, lamps, candles and art. Some of it travels, some of it is better carried out the door.

Antiques and vintage

The one of a kind floor
Saw something and cannot find it here?
Most of what is in the store never makes it onto a website, because there is one of it and photographing it takes longer than selling it. Tell us what you saw and roughly where it was standing. We will find it, send you a photo and ship it.
Easy to send, easy to give
The things people order twice
Small batch, made close by, and the pieces that travel best in a box.
Willow Hill Soap Company
Made in Canton, North Carolina. Bar soap, wash, lotion and whipped sugar scrub, in scents for women and men. The gift that never comes back.
