Perfect Essentials

09/08/2026

I am on a staycation this week y’all which means I finally had time to go visit my favorite store in the Arts and Crafts community in Gatlinburg, Perfect Essentials
I got sidetracked talking and didn’t take any pics inside, but they offer a variety of products! My favorite thing they offer though is their Fire Roasted Salsa! It is literally the best salsa you will ever eat! This time we also picked up the Salsa Verde to try so I am excited about that, and I got a cute itty bitty pumpkin and a magnet with a fun story (ask the owner about it when you go in 😂)
If you are in Gatlinburg head to the arts and crafts loop and make sure to stop by Perfect Essentials!

With 90 degree weather, it doesn't feel like Fall. So I guess we'll call it Summer's Autumn.

Tiny fun. Great for dough bowls. Pair with large pumpkins.

We have lost an icon. Peace be with her and her family.

Mama and her babies paid a visit. I'm happy to say most people kept their distance and the traffic stopped to let them cross. Please respect our bears. We love them.
