Angelic Whispers

While scootering around the streets of Gatlinburg, we had dinner one evening at the Best Italian Restaurant and Pizzeria which we have to say definitely earned its name!

Right next door to the restaurant we found a lovely jewelry shop in Elks Plaza called Angelic Whispers. The owner is Kasey Schroeder who is just wonderful to talk to and she is very talented! Kasey and her family used to live in Georgia and came to Gatlinburg several times to visit. Like so many, they fell in love with the area and decided to move up to TN and open a shop. We're glad she did!


We won't discuss how many pairs of earrings Sheri had to buy in her shop, but Jeff couldn't really complain because her prices are awesome! Her displays are just lovely too. Definitely a scooter-friendly shop, one of the very few in Gatlinburg we might add. Make sure you stop by and visit Angelic Whispers if you're in Gatlinburg! I know she is definitely on Sheri's "must stop at" places from now on. ;)

Over Home Creations

There was a craft fair at the Gatlinburg Convention Center Easter weekend and we had no idea! It was smaller than their July & October shows but you know Sheri still had to go! ;)

Another vendor we met while admiring all the work was Jan Barnes of Overhome Creations. What a sweet lady! She is a retired teacher and now makes beautiful jewelry.

A bit about O H Creations...
“Over-Home Creations” was formed by Jim and Jan Barnes after family members combined their talents and various techniques to create unique handcrafted pieces of jewelry. With degrees in education, art, and engineering, they have spent years painting crafting, jewelry making, woodworking and photography.

The name of their business "Over-Home” is what their family called Jim’s Grandparent’s farm that has been a part of their history since the 1700’s. They are a nostalgic group. The natural beauty and heritage of their region has always been uplifting and they often look to it for inspiration."

She had quite a bit of jewelry to pick from, so you know Sheri couldn't get away without a silver and pearl ring ;) And she gets many compliments on it all the time. Way to go, Jan! Hope we see you July in Abingdon! :) You can visit her website HERE.
