About Us
Once Upon A Sign opened in December of 2006 as a very personal venture. This little corner allows me to make a living surrounded by those things I love best--Words. From the moment you walk in to Once Upon A Sign, you are surrounded by words of every description. Words that are romantic, words that are nostalgic, and others that are playfully humorous. One of the most wonderful benefits to owning this shop are the many stories I've gathered from those who purchase my signs. Every person has a unique reason for the sign they buy.
Once Upon A Sign specializes in American made gifts because I think it is important to support American workers--especially local artisans. Also, wherever possible, we try to buy products from vendors who practice responsible earth stewardship.
In addition to signs and cards, you will also find lovely pieces of glass. My mother who ran Mag-de-lene, a small antique shop on Grove Street, loved beautiful glass of every description and so do I.
Once Upon A Sign has an interesting past. During the 60's, 70's and 80's it was the home to Blue Bird Taxi Company owned by Bill and Mayo Deaver. They say that the true history of Hendersonville is entrusted to the now silent testimonies of the taxi drivers who drove many a local citizen in the early morning hours.
Wandering through the Blue Ridge? Please stop by and sit a spell for "Friends are the family you find along the way."
A note about Way Bags: Some of you may have noticed that I took Way Bags of NC off the front page. My commitment to American made goods is as strong as ever. Unfortunately, Way Bags closed their operation and for the worst reason--they couldn't compete with cheaper foreign made bags. Very sad. I wish them the very best because they made a good quality product at a reasonable price. I will miss their bright cheerfulness in the shop.
