The Last Straw, established in 1988 by owners Roger & Julie Robertson, is a brand that specializes in home decor and gifts. Starting off in a small storefront in Valle Crucis, North Carolina, they initially focused on selling dried florals and designs. Over the years, their business grew and the demand for more retail space became evident.

In 2000, they made a significant move and purchased a historic First Baptist Church located on Main Street in Blowing Rock. The unique architecture of the building serves as a constant source of inspiration for their creativity. With the help of their dedicated staff, The Last Straw is committed to providing excellent customer service and high-quality products for all seasons.

Their diverse range of offerings includes natural silk florals, greenery, candles, home decor, tabletop gifts, outdoor products, ladies boutique accessories, and much more. Whether you're looking to spruce up your home or find the perfect gift, The Last Straw has something for everyone.
