My slow, but inevitable move to the Great Smoky Mountains began over to 50 years ago on a family vacation. My most vivid memory of that vacation was my father feeding the bears. At that time it was a common practice to throw your left over peanut butter sandwhich to Momma bear - We got some great photos, but certainly not a good idea, especially by todays standards.
In 1972 I was once again drawn to the mountains when my wife and I honeymooned in Gatlinburg. The cabin at Brookside Hotel is now long gone, but recently we where able to tack it to its new location a few miles away.
In 1995 we began participating in the Gatlinburg Craftsmens Fair at the Gatlinburg Convention Center. About five times a year we would set up at the craft show to sell our microwave heating pad - the Cherry-Pit-Pac
In 2002 we opened our first retail shop in the "Craft Community". The shop - So Very Cherry features our Cherry-Pit-Pac as well as other cherry themed items. It is now located at 170 Glades road # 17 at Smoky Mountain Arts and Craft Village.
Several years later, in 2007, we opened Simply Savory Gift and Gourmet, just across the hall from So Very Cherry. Simply Savory features gourmet tea, coffee, sauces, dips, and many other unique gourmet foods and accessories.
When every you are in the Gatlinburg area stop in and see us.!
