             The Funnest Shop on Main

"Oh, My Stars," "It's another day in Paradise" for those who love inspirational signs and gifts.  Once Upon A Sign is the cutest, littlest, funnest shop located at 6th and Main Street in Historic Downtown Hendersonville, North Carolina.  If "Never confuse hospitality with endurance" is more exciting to you than a slice of chocolate cream pie, this is the place for you.  Eva Ritchey, owner, has a life long love affair with words and is expressing them in her little shop. 

Her signs and framed art range from the humorous to the sentimental and make for a fun afternoon of reading.  Have  something you want to say?  Special orders are available. 

Once Upon A Sign specializes in American made gifts and features:

  • Largest collection of children's wall décor signage in Western North Carolina   
  • Framed Art and American Made Teapots
  • Davies Gate Organic Lotions and Creams
  • Oakmont Soy Candles, So wonderful!
  • Soulshine Beeswax & Beanpod Candles
  • Hendersonville's own Willa's Cookies 
  • American made jewelry
  • Candies that giggle
  • American made Wind Chimes
  • Cutest bird houses on the planet
  • French Soaps
  • Snuggly Australian wool/blend undershirts

And Now, Frozen Frosty Drinks that are wonderfully cold and delicious.  At this moment we have strawberry and lemonade.  And not just any strawberry, but strawberry cider from the strawberry country of North Georgia.   Our lemonade has that old fashioned flavor you are sure to love. 

 Stop by and "sit long, talk much, and laugh often."

The birdies are achirpin'

Can't you just hear spring?  The spring rains have started here in the mountains and not a moment too soon.  I can tell you for sure, we have had enough of winter.  At Once Upon A Sign we are busy getting ready for a new beginning.  There are just tons of new things coming in including new garden signs, wind chimes, new plant holders and bird house stakes, solar lanterns, pashmina scarves and even some delicious soups. 

We've (that's the royal "we") have been busy redesigning and renovating our little shop.  Those of you who have visited before will notice the improved space.  We repainted, rearranged and hopefully you will approve the improvements.  Please don't forget that we do special orders and are specialists in children's wall décor.  Looking for giraffes, butterflies, caterpillars, ships or shapes? We have them.  So, don't tarry a minute and come on by and see us.  And don't forget your delicious Willa's cookie when you leave.

Happy Spring!
