Haven't seen a website like that in a while. Rather nostalgic and cozy.

Now even moreso!

Stacked everywhere.

This is a fun, extremely kitschy place to check out if you're in the area and want a break from hiking the Smokies. I also like the pancake place, Flapjack's, next door.

But the real star in that shopping center is Smoky Mountain Farms Jelly House. They have a ton of really interesting jellies and butters that I've never seen anywhere. Corn cob jelly, scuppernong jelly, sweet potato butter. Super cool place if you like different flavors.

We visited it on our honeymoon!

It is near a business called Pappy's Junk & Stuff.

If they don't have a Salt and Pepa salt and pepper set I will be very disappointed.

I went to a similar museum in Japan, in Arima Onsen. It was a fun, hidden gem.

I really love those weird collections that are open to the public. I wonder how many people out there are obsessively collecting and cataloging that one theme in their basement.
