The blocks occupied feel like its own little community in the middle of the bigger city. It definitely has it's own vibe and is uniquely East Nashville. When we are in East, we normally make it point to stop in a shop or two. International Coffee, Galena Garlic and Adobe Mercantile are usually spots we frequent when wandering around, and Gift Horse is a cool place for a quirky or local gift for folks. Food wise, Maru and East Creamery are always on point and hit the spot! Hours of each shop differ, so make sure you look specifically at the hours of the places you want to visit. There is no real consistency amongst the shops from an overall hours perspective, which can be a tad frustrating. Parking is a bit wonky as well, nothing really dedicated at all times. There are a few pay lots nearby and street parking is plentiful in the area. Overall, Shoppes on Fatherland is a cool East community and is a good spot to spend a little time when you have nothing going on. It's always an after or before dinner/drink place for us.

I have wanted to check out this store forEVER!…read more And honestly the selection is pretty decent of unique finds, especially their kids selection! Unfortunately everything reeks of cigarette smoke so horribly that every item we picked up also smelled of it. I cant stress enough how horrible the smell was, that we couldn't even stay for longer than ten minutes. The prices were a bit high and no one greeted when we walked in. It's a shame!

In our case, we got a suit made by Manuel Cuervas that was designed for and worn by members of the Mel Tillis and the Statesiders band. The people who work there are very friendly and very knowledgeable of the local scene.

I've always been intrigued by Kristin Cavallari's Uncommon James jewelry, so I had to check out the…read morestore when I was in town. Parking right outside can be tricky, but luckily we found a spot. As soon as we walked in, the staff greeted us with big smiles and were super helpful. They answered all my questions and helped me pick out some great pieces. Uncommon James has a fun mix of styles, from delicate chains and everyday hoops to eye-catching pendants and bold statement pieces. They offer collections in Vermeil and Sterling Silver, plus some cool home goods and fragrances. I love mixing metals, so I ended up getting a few dainty gold rings and a chunky ring that has both gold and silver. I'm really happy with my picks, especially the chunky ring--I've gotten tons of compliments on it since I wear it almost every day. It's held up pretty well over the last couple of months, but we'll see!

Gayle and I enjoyed our walk through the historical neighborhood of Edgefield. During our walk, we…read morecame upon The Getalong, which shares the same building with the Sky Blue Cafe. This seems like the kind of shop set up by young mothers who wanted to set up a community gathering place for fellow families. There's even a back room for birthdays, classes, and other events. The front has a nice selection of books, toys, and other fun stuff. We ended up purchasing some postcards (for coloring) for our grand girls. As a bonus the nice woman at the front gave us a good music recommendation (Robert's Western World on Broadway) and a mention of the impressionist exhibit at the Frist Art Museum. That's after both her and Gayle finished talking about dogs.

We talked for a few minutes and there was always a warm and inviting smile from her. The service was great both times I came and I ended up purchasing some nice things. On the inside you will find several different kinds of items to by. Most of them are geared towards children such as dolls, clothing, jewelry, and books. Everything feels natural inside with the presence of pastels and earth tones that present themselves gently to the eyes. You won't find cheap brightly colored plastic toys or items here. There is also a children's arts and craft area in the back and today they just so happen to be having some kind of puppet workshop which I found delightful. I think you will be thoroughly satisfied if you check out this boutique!
