Karen you are the cutest thing ever!!!! Love the dresses and the skirts. I use alot of Sari ribbon in my scrapbooking and crafting. It is made from recycled clothing instead of putting it in landfills. I also thought it was cute you bought your significant other a strawberry. God bless you two!!!!
I had to add additional comments I loved the bear tee shirt # looking at the menu on car back windows family decals. 😂 I would snatch that up in a minute.soooo cute.
We like the NOC and Jonathan’s too! We also like the Day Hiker and the Hayloft in the Village and Ranger Bob’s as well! Gatlinburg is definitely fun to shop! Thanks for taking us along! 😊
Thanks for this video! I enjoyed the shopping trip and I love those shoes!!! I’m definitely a shoe person! Love those skirts too! I’ve never seen any like that before!
Thank you for taking me along with you on your shopping trip! Karen, those dresses are really cute and love your shoes and your cap and t-shirts, sweatshirt and bracelet! Thank you for taking me along with y'all! I really enjoyed it!
The first dress you showed …a local shop here where I live recently carried…it’s from Umgee..the boho look is really popular right now. I just bought a boho blouse last week. You have excellent taste in clothing and jewelry. I’m excited to check out these stores in October when I visit there.
Karen, it was great seeing your favorite clothing stores in Gatlinburg (thanks for sharing). I especially love the dresses you picked out…so cute!! The bear t-shirt made me laugh. Glad to see y’all also got some of your favorite treats. 😋
I had never noticed that clothing store in the Mountain Mall. I’ll make sure to look for it on our trip next month. We have never gotten to NOC yet so looking forward to shopping there as well. Also want to get a chocolate covered strawberry at Kilwin’s!
Hey guys, we just got back from a adventure in Pennsylvania. We had to start catching up on your videos. It so cute, Pearl is commenting on the shopping and the big haul. She love clearance racks. Guess where we are going the next time in Gatlinburg.
First of all, I miss Gatlinburg and the GSM sooo bad!🥺 My Britney loves that boutique MCG in the Mountain Mall. She always buy 2 or 3 items there. We never miss a trip to the Mountain Mall. I just love the Village. Especially during the Fall and Christmas time. 🎃🎄 Both my girls loves The Lazy One pjs and The Sock Shop. Mike and Karen, Thanks for sharing!🤗❤️
What a fun day - especially for Karen!! Correct me if mistaken, but I believe NOC used to be the "Open Hearth" restaurant many years ago. Is that right? Thanks for taking us along!!
Yep, used to be a really nice restaurant to get a great meal. Always enjoyed eating there when there was a little nip in the air and would enjoy their "open hearth" fire place. This was quite some time ago.
Love the dresses, Also liked the NOC store. I missed the Mountain mall or it was late and closed while I was there. I want to come back but the crowds are crazy there.
I enjoy your videos so much. A great day of shopping in Gatlinburg. I heard you say you like bears. I watch a live webcam from Alaska called Brooks Falls Katmai National Park. If you enjoy watching bears, you will LOVE this. There is several different feeds but the best is the falls. The bears come there to eat salmon. It is so interesting to watch them catch the salmon and then take them away and eat them. The falls has like a jacuzzi and the bears sit in it and catch fish. It is live so it is so amazing to see all the bears that do come there. There is one bear family that comes with her 2 girl cubs, they are almost 3. Female bear cubs stay with their moms longer than the males. I love this live cam, and it you like bears, you will love it. Well, thank you for posting. They are brown bears, the grizzlies live more inland.
I've watched you guys consistently for the last year & a half. My wife & I moved to Knoxville a little more than a year ago. We avoid Gatlinburg like the plague - there are SO MANY PEOPLE there! I'm a native Californian and my wife is from China - we are both familiar with crowds (real crowds!), but the crowds in Gatlinburg are ridiculous - they rival craziness in So. Cal.!. Before we moved to Knoxville I did a lot of "exploring" on RUclips - 2 years ago the crowds in Gatlinburg were no where near as crazy as they are now. Why do you think that is? Yes, people were restricted in their travels when covid was "new", but we have moved past that. There just seems to be an excessive amount of people there - and the rudeness and disregard for following laws to keep traffic "moving" seem to be "if they interrupt where I need to go, I'm not going to follow them - too bad for you!". Do people need to take a day or two off of work - in the middle of the week to avoid the Black Friday type of crowds in Gatlinburg on a weekend day? Sorry for the negative sounding reply - would just like to hear your thoughts... Thanks
Hi! The GSMNP is the most visited park and Gatlinburg sits right at the entrance with so much to do. Yes - with the pandemic slowly becoming less of a threat people are getting out more and vacations are alive and well. You might try coming into town on Sunday after lunch or earlier in the week. Have you thought about visiting the other side of the Smokies towns? Bryson City, Cherokee and Maggie Valley?
I really loved this video , I like to see what's inside the stores , I will be visiting these stores when we stay after the 9th my daughter is having a fit to shop these stores , thanks y'all, God Bless and have a fun and safe 4th of July 🎇🧨
I really enjoyed coming along on your shopping spree! Karen you got some really cute things! I really liked the top you had on in this video. Do you remember where you got it? Glad Momma Friday got some pralines too! Lol!
Love your fashion taste, Karen! You dress so cute and now I know where I can find some things like you in Gatlinburg. You found some really pretty things.

Would love to get something similar myself. That one goes very well with many outfits! Thank you! Great fun shopping with y'all!
Glad you came along, Paulette. We always get caramel corn at the Carmelcorn Shoppe right on the strip there. And I believe my hat came from somewhere in NC when we were filming. ~ Karen
Want to know what I do when Kim is shopping? Find the nearest bench outside, take a seat and wish her well on her shopping adventure and let her know I will be waiting lol

Hey guys, we just got back from a adventure in Pennsylvania. We had to start catching up on your videos. It so cute, Pearl is commenting on the shopping and the big haul. She love clearance racks. Guess where we are going the next time in Gatlinburg.
First of all, I miss Gatlinburg and the GSM sooo bad!🥺 My Britney loves that boutique MCG in the Mountain Mall. She always buy 2 or 3 items there. We never miss a trip to the Mountain Mall. I just love the Village. Especially during the Fall and Christmas time. 🎃🎄 Both my girls loves The Lazy One pjs and The Sock Shop. Mike and Karen, Thanks for sharing!🤗❤️
Hey Ann, those are all great places to shop too! MCG is awesome!
I'm?m gonna have to the shop in the mall. Plus, I actually like the Kavu line of bags too, especially the "sling" bags.
Hey Amelia, those bags are always great. It's easy to forget about the mall. Thanks for commenting. ~ Karen
What a fun day - especially for Karen!! Correct me if mistaken, but I believe NOC used to be the "Open Hearth" restaurant many years ago. Is that right? Thanks for taking us along!!
Yep, used to be a really nice restaurant to get a great meal. Always enjoyed eating there when there was a little nip in the air and would enjoy their "open hearth" fire place. This was quite some time ago.
@@pamelabarbee2487 Thanks for confirming. I remember it being one of the nicer restaurants in town.
@@johns.6183 Yes it was. Don't ever remember getting a bad meal (or bad service) there.
Thank you for watching John and leaving a comment. Looks like Pamela answered your question. Thank you Pamela!
Love the dresses, Also liked the NOC store. I missed the Mountain mall or it was late and closed while I was there. I want to come back but the crowds are crazy there.
It can be crowded, but worth it. Hope you get back again.
What shops do you buy your cute hats like the one you have on? Thanks
