GRACIOUS DESIGNS, with all their home decor and design products and interesting gifts, opened a new store in Johnson City last week, keeping the one in Jonesborough also. As more people discovered their good inventory, they needed more space and wanted to be more convenient for Johnson City folks. I stopped by in the afternoon after the Chamber of Commerce ribbon cutting ceremony last week and Jackie Lowman, Diriector of Floral Designs, said they'd had a great first day. I'd first met Marty Glasgow, owner, a good while ago when she did a great program for Women's Council of Realtors.
The Johnson City store is at the newly remodeled and enlarged Peerless Center shopping area, 2527 North Roan St., in sight of Peerless Restaurant. The Jonesborough store is at 117 East Main Street. Their web site is www.graciousdesignshome.com.
I'll stop by shortly to show them some of the beautiful pressed flower prints by my friend, Pat Smith, Sonshine Crafts in Jonesborough (www.sonshinecrafts.com), and a sample of the many beautiful cards designed by another friend, Jane-Anne Thomas. It's fun when special gifts are made by friends. Johnson City has a lot of talented artists. Another favorite of mine is Bill Cruickshank, who does lovely small landscapes. For information about the artists, see their sites:
