Angela, I do beading and make some basic jewelry. But I'm way far away from Tennessee and can't go to it. Don't know anything about it so I'm not much help. But, I know you'll have fun and probably get lots of ideas! Enjoy it! CJ

I would go just to go to Franklin. I LOVE that little town. You should go. I do make earrings and other things with beads, but not into it that much. I would love to go back to Franklin. If I went there though, I'd have to go on up to Noblesville and see the grand kids. Have fun if you do go.
Hi There Angela! I live fairly close to Franklin! Its a great fun town to visit! I have never been to a bead show though. However some great places to eat are Merridee's Bread Basket in downtown Franklin famously known for their pastries! They have been featured in Southern Living among others. They also serve delicious breakfast and lunch. In Nashville, is the Pancake Pantry and is definitely worth the ~35 minute drive up there. Get there early (before 7:30 if you dont want to wait in a long line however, the long line does move quickly and is worth the wait. Nashville of course has a lot of live country music. Pucketts either in downtown Franklin or in the community of Leipers Fork (very close to Franklin) has live music on Friday and Saturday nights usually. The Bluebird Cafe (on the Nashville TV show) is a VERY fun place to hear song writers. I highly recommend. Check their website for reservations or get there approximately 1 hour early to get a seat. Its a lot of fun. Opryland is another fun place to visit or stay east of Nashville. Its beautiful "green house" with orchids, ferns, lots of greenery - its beautiful. Delicious restaurants. Papa Boudreaux's either in downtown Franklin or Santa Fe (for a great atmosphere go to Santa Fe!!) is a fabulous cajun restaurant.
Hope this helps! If you decide to go email me and maybe we can meet for lunch or something.
Hubby and I will be takin the girls with us down to Pancake Pantry for a little day trip in april when it's warmer for standin in line. I over slept by 2 hours so I didn't have time to wait for it.
Thanks so much for the info!!!!
