The Mast General Store

After what felt like hours of indecision these two finally settled on an awesome pair of magnetic balls that they have literally had hours of fun. I will try to get some pictures of the "hair" they have grown on these magnetic balls. They looked something like this.


Hmmm. Maybe I should have coughed up the extra 4 bucks, I could use a pair or two of those some days. But then I probably would have spent more time confiscating them - than using them myself!


Helping younger siblings to decide what to spend their 2.50 on - when most things, as we sadly discovered, were about 6 dollars! Still bargains were found and little delights were purchased and enjoyed.

We finished off our visit at the Candy store where we purchased among other things, whistle pops, which we have typically only found up in the mountains at this cool old fashioned store that has been operating since 1883.

For some reason, I feel like I have been commenting on your blog more than posting on mine lately.
Anyway......

Thanks for sharing the pictures. This General store looks really neat.We have an old hardware store that has this style but hardware stores just don't hold the same thrill. ( for me anyway)
Is this the main Mast location ? I was reading about the store and seen that there is one in Waynesville. My husband's aunt has lived in Waynesville for a few years now and moved his ninety year old Grandmother there last year. Since we have been trying to make the ten hour plus trip couple times a year to visit I was thinking that we would check either this place or the Ashville location ,out on our next visit.
We have only been there twice so far for only two or three days at a time so haven't had much time to just look. Thanks for sharing.
