About Us
Hi, Friends!
Hi there— We are Kristyn Iodice and Carrie Peeler, owners of The Funky Fern Emporium! We are a woman + non-binary and queer owned shop in the Historic Frog Level District of Waynesville, North Carolina.
The Funky Fern started as a small, primarily vintage furniture focused store in April 2022. Since then, the concept has evolved into a diverse collection of unique new and vintage items for the home, body, and soul. With a carefully curated collection of inventory, our hope is to inspire you to surround yourself with pieces that light up your spirit.
We pride ourselves in creating an inclusive, accepting environment for all. We believe in celebrating and lifting up the underrepresented members of our community. All genders, sizes, races, abilities are welcome and safe in our space!
