Just returned a few days ago from Sevierville-PigeonForge-Gatlinburg area
where I visited shops mentioned on this page.
They all had good features. Iva's seemed to have largest
selection and the friendliest staff. The Cherry Pit had lovely
fabric and examples of things to sew. In the Glades area
in the Artist Community near Gatlinburg, was the small
shop of Susan. Great plaza to take small kids. They can be in
stroller and see you inside thru the large windows while
tended by other family or friend. Yes, I bought something
at each one! I had made a purchase in the neat Cosby shop in 2010.
