The shop is very thoughtfully curated. The owner is welcoming and warm. She can tell you about every item and loves the town of Tryon. I was in town under difficult circumstances and I appreciate the owners overall kindness. Stopping in was a bright spot. I purchased some lovely items for myself and as presents.
So happy you took time to enjoy Tryon and Southern Agenda. It was lovely visiting with you and I am so glad glad to have added a little bit of kindness to your day 🌻

I have followed the owner as she has moved to 3 locations. She is now in a cute building on her own and has more room than in the past. She has a nice variety of old and new items. She tries to mainly use Southern companies and artisans for her merchandise. She has a lot of connections if you are looking for something in particular she will help you find it. It is a relaxing experience to visit Southern Agenda. She carries jewelry, kitchen items, clothing, wallets, purses, glassware, paintings, ornaments, furniture, etc.
Thanks for following along! Always working to make Southern Agenda better ❤️
