It’s that time of year again… less than a week until Mother’s Day and graduations are soon to follow.

Luckily, Zola makes buying gifts for these occasions easy! We’ve been getting lots of great new merchandise in, and we’re happy to make suggestions to help you find a meaningful gift for mom and/or grad.

Shopping for others, but see things you want for yourself? Make a wish list! We’re happy to keep a list of what you love and steer gift-givers in the right direction when your special occasion comes up. Just call or come in to get started.

Spring has come to Ninth Street! Doors are open, flowers are blooming and familiar faces are walking the street, enjoying the fine weather.

The evenings have been lovely lately, and we’re seeing more and more people strolling Ninth Street after work, so starting next week, Zola will be open until 7 pm on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays.

If you haven’t been down in a while, stop in to see some of our new Spring merchandise! More items are arriving daily.

Here are a few of our favorites:

Blown glass hummingbird feeders – it’s time to call the hummingbirds
back to your home with a handcrafted glass feeder. These are new to Zola and would make a great Mother’s Day gift (it’s just around the corner – May 9th!)

Chocolate & Steel jewelry – tiny birds, deer and bunnies adorn these
silver pendants, earrings, and rings that are just so cute

Spring/Summer t-shirts – Asheville artist Alena Hennessy has unveiled
a new t-shirt design – delicate blue flowers on a white, burnout v-neck – lightweight, pretty, and feminine

Ed & Kate Coleman vases & tiles – we just received a new batch of
colorful vases and tiles by these NC potters

Diane Markin glass birds – these 3-dimensional stained glass birds can
liven your indoors or out, standing alone in a window or on a garden stake

Just a reminder: we are happy to ship anywhere in the U.S.
