At Thorn Ridge, we believe a good purse isn’t just something you carry, it’s something that carries a story. That’s why we’ve partnered with American West, a brand that’s been handcrafting Western leather handbags and tooled leather purses for over 30 years.
Some scents don’t just linger, they settle in. Lavender is one of those timeless fragrances that can change a whole room’s mood. It’s soft but grounded, floral yet earthy, and somehow feels like home no matter where you live, a balance of opposites that makes it one of nature’s greatest harmonizers.
If you’ve ever hit that spot where it feels like your plans for the day just got ruined, or a day when your motivation packs its bags and sails off into the Atlantic or scampers out across the mountain, and now you have no idea what to do, this one’s for you.
There’s a special kind of peace that comes from walking into a space that smells like comfort. Maybe it’s clean linen, wild herbs, or a whisper of the woods, whatever scent it is, it makes your home feel alive again.
Country fashion is trending with orginal and unique country graphic tees leading the way. Discover why rustic, southern, and rural inspired shirts are the new conversation starters. We have plenty for you to choose from at Thorn Ridge®.
Out on quiet backroads, mailboxes stand like lonely sentinels at the edge of gravel lanes. Most days, the only trouble may be a raccoon trying to pry open a package or a neighbor’s truck kicking up dust. But Appalachian folklore whispers of another visitor, the Mothman.
There’s a different kind of silence on the backroads. Not empty miles ahead of you but alive with energy that can reset your spirit. You hear the crunch of gravel or the sound of pavement under tires, the sight of wind moving the trees, maybe a hawk flying in front of you.
Discover the timeless appeal of magnetic copper bracelets. Rustic yet modern, they add character to any outfit and carry centuries of tradition.
Part legend, part cautionary tale, the Wild Boar isn’t just another woodland creature in the Thorn Ridge® Legends and Lore Collection. He’s a guardian, one with tusks sharp enough to carve a life lesson straight into your heart.
I grew up on a farm in Southern Virginia and I can tell you firsthand that country life runs on quiet understandings. It's a code no one writes down but everyone knows. Break it, and someone will eventually say something to you about what you did or didn't do. Honor it, and you’ll find yourself part of a community that shows up when it counts. Here are twenty unspoken rules about living in a rural area:
There’s a reason every good story in the country starts on a porch or deck whether they are covered, screened in, or completely open. It’s where the day winds down, where neighbors stop by unannounced, and where you sip something warm while watching the sky turn a dozen shades of gold.
Fashion trends usually start on runways and trickle down to the rest of the world. But sometimes, the current doesn’t flow from Paris or New York, it flows straight out of the barn door.
There’s something about autumn on the farm that feels both wild and comforting, like the land itself is taking a deep, satisfied breath after the heat of summer. The hay fields have been cut and rolled into golden bales that dot the hills. Pumpkins sit fat and stubborn on their vines, waiting for a kid to wrestle them free.
At Thorn Ridge®, we love a good beard. We love the grit it takes to grow one, the personality it shows, and the quiet rebellion of letting nature have its way with your face, then making your beard look sharp.
Sweet tea runs through your veins. You know the exact minute the humidity hits. You wave at strangers because it’s the law (or at least it should be). Being Southern isn’t just about geography, it’s a way of living that mixes charm, grit, and humor into one irresistible package regardless of where you live. Here are 25 lighthearted and love filled ways folks can spot your Southern roots.
Some mornings, the coffee tastes like freedom and sunshine. Other mornings, it tastes like responsibility and the faint memory of chores you meant to do yesterday. At Thorn Ridge®, we’ve learned that great days don’t just happen, you build them.
Here at Thorn Ridge, we’ve learned that chickens are far stranger, smarter, and sassier than most folks realize. They’re not just feathered egg machines scratching in the dirt, they’re tiny dinosaurs with attitude, farmyard comedians, and occasionally, tiny escape artists plotting world domination.
At Thorn Ridge, we love October. The leaves blaze gold and copper, the air smells like woodsmoke, and the Appalachian Mountains seem to whisper their oldest secrets. East Tennessee isn’t just beautiful — it’s full of weird history, eerie legends, and the kind of spine-tingling wonder that makes a Halloween road trip unforgettable.
At Thorn Ridge, we like to say that decorating a home isn’t about following trends, it’s about surrounding yourself with stories. And nature has the best collection of décor pieces you’ll ever find, it’s been styling landscapes for a few million years. Stones, feathers, flowers, and wood aren’t just things you find outside, they’re little reminders that beauty doesn’t have to be bought in a box.
At Thorn Ridge, we’ve always said a house isn’t just a house. It’s the porch light glowing at dusk, the chair that holds you after a long day, the quilt that keeps you warm, and the stories that spill out when the evening stretches long.
Today, the day and night call a truce. For just a moment, they shake hands, split the sky right down the middle, and remind us that balance isn’t just possible, it’s happening. The above image was taken by one of my sons at sunset during last year's Fall Equinox at Thorn Ridge.
