Our plans today are to do the Arts & Crafts community 8 Mile Loop Road. 

The first cluster of shops had a number of Galleries.  The pictures were just beautiful.  They were all at different locations throughout the Smoky Mountains. There were lots of Jewelry and Glass Shops, Pottery and Country Crafts Shops.

Our second group of shops was The Covered Bridge Complex.  They were condos with the bottom floors made into shops.  There was a Candle Shop, Misty Mountain Soap Shop, a Glass Studio, Pottery Shop and the one fascinated us the most was the Glass Blower Shop.  We stood and watched him sculpt an angel out of glass rods and then blow a tube into a ball that will be made into a Christmas ornament.  We saw a few items we would of liked to have, but our travels are to ruff for such delicate pieces.

We made our way to Sevierville and found another quilt shop.  I looked around and did find a few fat quarters that I added to my stash. 

It was way pass lunch time so we stopped in Pigeon Forge at Happy Days for lunch/dinner.

We were back home by 3:30pm.  We only did 40 miles today.  The weather is beautiful.  It got up to 79 degrees today.
