CUUUUUUUUTest little shop!…read more Stopped here on a whim when we stayed at a cabin in the Smokey Mountains. We drove through the main town area, that seems a bit touresty. It was really busy so we just kept driving to see what shops we would see along the way and we ran across this little shopping center. We almost walked past this little shop because it's tucked away more towards the back, near the cafe/diner thingy. The name of the shop had me and my fiance both thinking it was going to be a wine shop, but when we walked in we both saw these adorable little sock people! We chatted with the shop owner for a bit and she told us about how she found her craft and showed us some of the custom ones she was putting together. The collegiate ones are SOOO ADORABLE!!! The prices seem pretty fair also for such a custom craft. If you visit the Smokey Mountains, I would DEFINITELY recommend stopping by this little shop and checking out the strip it's in!

He and hubby (Navy vet) talked about their service, and when Sparky discovered hubby served 40 years, he even gave him an ornament in red, white and blue. I love that he supports vets and first responders. This place is definitely worth the stop on the Arts & Crafts Community loop.

Our GPS got us there - there were also signs pointing to where to go! I'm not quite sure where to start as we had an AMAZING experience at Firefly! There is no set class times or anything - it's just come as you can/when you can. The studio was smaller than I had expected, but that's ok. It was perfect! There were 4 other people inside when we got there and we had enough spaces without us being on top of each other. Originally, we were going to do just 1 piece each. But we all had so much fun and it went much quicker than we had thought, that we ended up doing 2 pieces each! The options were a 5x5 tray ($40), a 3x3 ring tray ($22), a funny face magnet ($18), a hangy thing (a sun catcher type thing - $20), or a pendant ($20). The prices include the shipping. Nancy, the owner, fires everything up in her kiln to put it together and then sends it to you. I cannot wait to get our pieces back in the mail. We picked our pieces and started working on them. When you figure out what you want, you use a bit of Elmer's glue to lightly glue it in place. It was so fun trying to decide what to do and to let the creative juices flow! I HIGHLY recommend visiting Firefly Glads Studio when you're in the Gatlinburg area. Nancy, the owner, was amazing to work with and super sweet!

I had just learned about scrimshaw a few days before so it felt surreal to see the real thing in such high quality! I left with a deep appreciation for her and her husband's craftsmanship. I wish I'd purchased a dagger, but it makes for a great excuse to come visit again. The shop can seem unassuming from the outside, so you definitely don't want to miss it when passing through!
