Burlap and Lace has made its debut here in Brevard, NC and if I have anything to say about it this store is going to be THE store to stop at when in Brevard.

Owner Connie Caldwell who is definitely NOT vintage goods!
I found out about the opening though an article in The Transylvania Times which included an informative article along with a great picture capturing owner Connie Caldwell at the official ribbon cutting. You can view that article by clicking here.
The store features vintage items, architectural pieces, antique pieces, gifts, up cycled items and more. Each room in the house at 244 W Main Street features different scenes that inspire the shopper. I was beckoned by more than one item and did not leave the store empty handed on my first visit. Teapots? Yes – I spied 3 during my trip.

Can you believe I left it there? Maybe next trip…
Perhaps what makes the store my perfect oasis is owner Connie Caldwell. She is inviting and gracious, the perfect hostess to her customers and offers just the right amount of assistance and information without being overwhelming. When we talked I felt that I had met an old friend, one that connected with me on many levels and as we talked we discovered just how much we had in common.
Funny how that happens more these days, isn’t it? When Connie and I were talking about who knows what I discovered that she grew up in Troutman, NC and graduated from South Iredell High School. Our oldest son, Micah, graduated from South and even though it was a few years after Connie had graduated it was just another thing that was a common denominator for us.
I love how God brings people together and I felt that on the day I visited Burlap and Lace that is exactly what had happened.
Connie is warm and compassionate and guess what else? She is a blogger who blogs at Burlap and Lace 3. That made me like her even more if it is possible.

I already have this adorable teapot or it would have been sold that day.
Connie graciously allowed me to take pictures of the shop both inside and outside and I must admit there was probably a great deal that I missed. Connie promises that the inventory will be constantly changing so every visit with be different.
Burlap and Lace is currently open Thursday – Saturdays from 10 am until 5:30 pm but if you happen by and the door is open pop on in and say hi. Connie won’t turn you away. If you are in Brevard shopping downtown just keep walking past the post office and when the sidewalk ends you will see Burlap and Lace. It is really close to the downtown but not in the main 2 block shopping area.

Leave a commentA perfect shop for you. i see more teapots on the horizon.
Perhaps….
That looks like an adorable shop (one in which I could definitely get in trouble…)! Let’s see: would it be unthinkable for Motor Man and me to plan a trip to shop there and meet YOU???
Do It!!! Yes!!!
This looks lovely. I’d love to shop here!
Come see me and I will take you! Connie is the best!!!
It’s such a fun shop. And Connie is wonderful. Simply wonderful.
I guess I will have to read the article and learn more about how Connie came to start her shop! You gave a lovely introduction!
Yep– you need to check out her blog for more – that’s the teaser for you. I think you would love her! She is our kind of people.
That shop is SO YOU! Luv the bed springs wall decor…..”thinking outside the box” is what it’s all about! Hopping over to her blog. Luv a “God-thing”………..hugs………
Yes–the bed spring was my favorite thing in the shop I think. It was so unique and I love that she is always changing things out and playing with what she has on display. It’s the perfect place to find a gift and while away some time.
Looks cute.
This shop is really fun and Connie is such a sweet person. We need to plan a girls trip into town on a day she is open so we can explore it!
I love love love this shop. And from your description of Connie, I would love her, too. If only this was closer to Minnesota…
You would absolutely love it here. And you know—NC has a road from MN. 🙂 Just saying.
I am blown away by this sweet introduction you have given me and my little shop! Thank you doesn’t put it into words, but let’s start with that at least. And yes, I work hard to re-do the shop weekly so even the “frequent shopper” will find new fun within the grounds and walls of Burlap & Lace; thus, the only 3 day per weeks that I am open. I can’t wait to see you again and to connect once more. You were definitely brought here by the Lord to encourage me along this journey! 🙂 Hugs!!!!
Oh Connie. It was easy to write a post about your lovely shop and you! I love the attention to detail and I can see your personality shining through in all of the different rooms. It was hard to restrain myself that first visit . Not sure I will do so well in the future. Thanks for sharing your talents with Brevard. We are blessed to have you here.
Looks like a cool stop! Reminds me of the lil’ antique stores in Pittsboro…
Yep. Connie has such an eye for decor and has the shop arranged so beautifully . I can’t wait to visit again next weekend.
I love stores like this. We went to a similar one on Boone while we were there and I could have bought a little bit of everything. Even more reason for me to work on finding the perfect mountain cabin for us to buy! 🙂
YES!!!!!! Make it happen!
