 It’s early May and the blackberry “brambles” are brightening field edges and roadsides with masses of pure white flowers. When these same blackberry flower-filled days and nights are really, really chilly, the old timers refer to it as “Blackberry Winter.”

Home-grown owners, the Mehaffey's, welcome you as you enter their Antique Mall, located at 2776 Soco Road.
Blackberry Winter offers shoppers a selection of hand-pieced locally made quilts, salt-glazed pottery, Native American handmade baskets. You will also find pottery by McCoy, USA and Shawnee, along with Granite Ware, Antique fishing lures, poles and creels, and primitive tools.
Nancie's specialty is primitive and locally made country furniture.
 The Mehaffey's have created furniture that ranges from primitive to cottage, using aged, distressed lumber from native Haywood County barns and farm houses to fashion beautiful replicas and original designs. They often times incorporate different woods (Heart of Pine, Walnut, Chestnut, Locust) to enhance and highlight their craft. The Mehaffey's son, Brennan, uses Mountain rhododendron and locust to construct sturdy arbors and benches. These works of art will enhance any deck, patio or lawn space.
They are happy to discuss custom orders with you.
Nancie will help you to transform your home into a welcoming and beautiful retreat, using your own prized possessions and her own treasures from the past.
The Mehaffey's also offer full service, year round, home maintenance and repair (opening and closing and cleaning your property). They will have your getaway clean, ready and waiting.
