This was a fascinating little place. The beautiful, creative wares range from wonderful stained…read moreglass pieces (large and small, mostly hanging pieces but also a few lampshades) to critters and vehicles made from soda cans, beer cans, or assorted metal tools, fixtures, and pieces. There are stone and wooden housewares and fun, fanciful cards. There's unique jewelry and purses. I'm forgetting any number of types of things, but it was a well-stocked store despite its relatively small size. The prices ranged widely, but I thought they seemed pretty decent compared to similar things I've seen elsewhere. Also, the staff is outstanding -- very warm, welcoming, and patient in general, as well as knowledgeable about the goings-on around Jonesborough and happy to talk about them.

Me and my wife recently visited the storytelling Center in downtown Jonesborough while we were…read morevisiting shops throughout the city. We only visited the bookstore , not the rest of the building. The books that were featured here were absolutely great , staff here was absolutely friendly and I love how quiet the store was. They do have restrooms in the back that I assume are open to the public. Which is great in the winter time because most places in the city don't have public restroom. Besides the home decor too, I definitely recommend checking the store out.

"Once upon a time ...."…read more Just returned from the 39th annual National Storytelling Festival in Jonesborough, TN - a weekend listening to fairy tales and folk tales -- imaginary stories, ghost stories, true stories of people -- relationships -- literary magic, linguistic lightening that made me laugh, and then 2 hours later, shed a tear or two. Traditionally held the first weekend in October, the festival draws thousands of listeners and (this year) 18 professional storytellers who shared their tales of love and laughter, music and linguistic mastery under 5 big-top tents crammed with chairs and stages and sound technicians. The festival runs Friday morn through Sunday afternoon, with special evening (separate ticket) ghost stories, midnight cabarets and theater events. I began my day at 10:00 a.m. Saturday with a tale by storyteller Bil Lepp who told of his boy-ish high school adventure: toting around a sack of flour for a week (the girls toted eggs) to teach him lessons about parenting. My day ended after 5:00 p.m. with a mesmerizing true story of a "sassy" woman in Birmingham, AL, who related her tale of southern living to the talented Dolores Hydock - a woman with a gift for words and expression. Ms. Hydock recorded the stories and passed them along to us in such a creative way. I did not want the performance to end. True, tickets are pricey, yet something worth saving for. Two food courts, four churches offering their culinary fare and a couple of local restaurants offer eats at reasonable prices. And it wouldn't be complete without a marketplace to purchase books on the craft, storytelling CDs, shirts and bags and pins with festival logos and more. And for budding tale tellers, a "Swappin' Ground gives everyone with a story opportunity their skills at this intriguing and most-fascinating art form.
