Taking only back roads from my home in rural West Georgia, with its easy access to the unique…read morebeauty that is East Alabama and through the cotton-laced back roads of North Alabama, through stunning Little River Canyon, DeSoto State Park and over, legendary and beautiful, Lookout Mountain, every trip that way culminated in a stop at Tiger Lily in quaint Fort Payne, after my father relocated to Hollywood, Alabama, a few years ago. Although he had lived all over the country during his eighty-three years, from his birthplace in the green mountains of Vermont, to the gentle slopes of central Texas, it was in Sweet Home Alabama, where he ultimately found, and felt at, peace. Even though it is just about my favorite way to spend two and a half hours, after my dad passed, on 12.23.23; I stopped making that gorgeous ride simply because I thought that it might break my heart in two, and then life got busy, giving me an acceptable excuse not to go, despite desperately missing it and secretly wanting too. Recently, my, wise, husband, who knew that I really yearned to make the trip, but needed a push, that he believed might, ultimately, heal me, said, "Hey; it's Christmas at Tiger Llly, let's take a ride!" and so we did, and then we traveled a little further North and left a shiny and new, vintage inspired, ornament we bought at Tiger Lily at my dad's final resting place, and with that, I knew that, while cancer had ravaged his mind, and his body, his soul was truly at peace and it confirmed that I had lovingly fulfilled every promise I had ever made to him, and that I could be free, and at peace, too... I have never ordered flowers from Tiger Lily, so I can't speak to that experience, but what I can say is that I have had an extraordinary time every time I've shopped at Tiger Lily, and my experience has never been anything less than a 10/10! The store is stunning, throughout the year, but ... especially during the holidays, and it has become a sure fire, and favorite, dopamine rush! I have always found every employee I have ever interacted with to be both lovely and helpful as I slowly, very slowly, peruse every nook, cranny and corner of the store as if it is my full-time job! As a result, it is extremely easy for me to highly recommend this magical gift shop and the equally magical "elves" who work there! Tiger Lily is just one of the many things that makes Fort Payne, and the surrounding area, so incredibly special, so memorable, and, in my opinion, the best of what America has to offer and should strive to be, and I genuinely hope that I am able to discover and experience every single one of them in my lifetime!
