If you like pottery, you may want to try Flowers Clay Works. A small shop on the right on East Parkway. They have become expensive but he is really good. I also recommend that you go to Cades Cove. I would suggest getting there by going to the Sugar Lands Visitor Center on the south side of town, turn right on Little River Rd. and follow until you get to the Cades Creek Turn off. (Laurel Creek Rd.) This is a beautiful mountain road with really nice views.
