ABBBBBSolutely love this place!…read more Stopped here on a whim after driving through the busy, touresty looking main town. Didn't really want to be in all the hustle and bustle so we figured we would look for some quieter, more local shops. The name intruiged me, as I love looking at fancy olive oils and balsamics but have never purchased any. The shop ownere was so nice and walked us through some different kinds while offering samples. I really like that you can purchase a standard size bottle OR a smaller half size bottle. We ended up going with an olive oil and a few balsamics: Tuscan Herb Olive Oil Black Garlic Balsamic Tomato Basic Balsamic Lemon Cucumer Balsamic Pineapple Balsamic We opted for all smaller bottles except the Tomato Basil & Black Garlic. These two are my favorites by far!!! SOOOOOO GOOD! I've had balsamics I've liked before but these are reallllllly worth the money. The prices actually are pretty fair if I'm comparing to some other olive oil shops I've been to, so based on that I splurged a little with all the oils I got. BUT... I figured "how often will we be back here... might as well go crazy and get all the ones I like." FYI - this seller also sells online!!! Overall - awesome shop! SO glad we stopped here!

I wish I'd purchased a dagger, but it makes for a great excuse to come visit again. The shop can seem unassuming from the outside, so you definitely don't want to miss it when passing through!

This shop with a few exceptions is not my thing, my tunnel vision focus had me walking the aisles looking for things I like or things that I collection, sure I stop and enjoy some interesting items and they make me remember things from my past and they make me smile but they aren't things I'd buy. This shop's staff was very friendly and constantly adjusting and straightening the items displayed, I don't know if this was out of boredom or their way of keeping an eye on their investment - there are thousands of smalls here, lots of souvenirs and trinkets as there should be, this is a mega-tourist area and these types shops are necessary. I didn't see it during my visit here but I can imagine the joy and smiles this place gives to the kids that enter looking for that special keychain or refrigerator magnet that will be part of the memories from their family vacation - it's important that they have access to those things. I didn't make a purchase here, although there were a few items of interest and I liked the fact there were a few televisions playing videos of sights of interest in the surrounding area, these were displayed in the mist of crafts that are associated with what was being broadcasted (genius marketing). This place is located in the heart of it all off the main drag through town, there's so much to see and do here...

Our GPS got us there - there were also signs pointing to where to go! I'm not quite sure where to start as we had an AMAZING experience at Firefly! There is no set class times or anything - it's just come as you can/when you can. The studio was smaller than I had expected, but that's ok. It was perfect! There were 4 other people inside when we got there and we had enough spaces without us being on top of each other. Originally, we were going to do just 1 piece each. But we all had so much fun and it went much quicker than we had thought, that we ended up doing 2 pieces each! The options were a 5x5 tray ($40), a 3x3 ring tray ($22), a funny face magnet ($18), a hangy thing (a sun catcher type thing - $20), or a pendant ($20). The prices include the shipping. Nancy, the owner, fires everything up in her kiln to put it together and then sends it to you. I cannot wait to get our pieces back in the mail. We picked our pieces and started working on them. When you figure out what you want, you use a bit of Elmer's glue to lightly glue it in place. It was so fun trying to decide what to do and to let the creative juices flow! I HIGHLY recommend visiting Firefly Glads Studio when you're in the Gatlinburg area. Nancy, the owner, was amazing to work with and super sweet!
