Summer in Asheville can still get HOT! Whether you’re planning a hike on the trail, a lazy day on the river, or a picnic on the parkway, hats are a great accessory to top off your look and protect you from the sun! Check out our hats from Beach and Barn, including the Cropduster Straw Hat.

Picnics are a great way to spend a summer day exploring the beautiful terrain! We love the Scout Bag Pleasure Chest. This cooler has it all to plan for a family outing or a Romantic picnic on the grounds of the Biltmore Estate.

Outside pockets can hold napkins, utensils, or a bottle opener, whereas the inside is just the perfect size to hold multiple food containers and a bottle of wine! Stop in, purchase the cooler, and we can help you prepare it with wine, snacks and charcuterie.

Don’t forget: Half Off Wine Wednesdays in June at Provisions - Biltmore Village Location.

Light-weight, polarized, sunglasses can be expensive, but they don’t have to be. We love Goodr sunglasses! No Slip, No Bounce, Fun colors, and funny names like: Captain Blunt’s Red-Eye; Stop, Drop and Scroll; and Sand Trap Queen, are just a few we have in store! These are a top seller! They are great glasses and they are even easy to replace… no lie we have one customer who’s on her third pair, she may need to get a sunglass strap to keep up with them. $25-$35 price point.

Clairee from Steel Magnolias said it best: “The only thing that separates us from the animals is our ability to accessorize”. We’ve got the accessories to get you through the summer.

• Have you checked out teleties? They are an all-in-one bracelet and hair tie. Multiple colors you wear as a bracelet and if you get hot, throw your hair up Girl! Put in hot water after use and they will tighten back up.

• If you want to keep your hair down and cool, try one of our Hemlock bandanas! We recommend checking out. www.wikihow.com/Wear-Bandanas for inspiration! We personally like the 90’s style …
  The 90’s are BACK BABY!

• Don’t like hair accessories, WICKER is HOT this summer! We’ve got wicker earrings, hats, bags, and purses!

You’ve got a hat to keep your skin looking young, glasses to protect your eyes, a cooler for the perfect picnic, the perfect accessories, what’s missing? The perfect blanket to lay on! Check out the Seabird outdoor blanket, a little more than 6 feet squared, perfect for a large group or for two people. Lightweight and easy to carry, water resistant, and has a pocket! This is a MUST for the perfect Summer picnic or beach trip.

Stop in sometime and checkout the shops! We know you will find your top 5 favorites as well. At worst, you will get a big smile and hello from us!

Cheers!
