Shopping in Olive Branch

When she began knitting at age 12, Henrietta “Hank” Davis kindled a lifelong passion; as the owner of Hank of Yarn, the only yarn shop in north Mississippi, Davis now shares her hobby with the local community. Her seminar-size classes, which range from novice to expert techniques, cover topics such as crocheting, knitting, and dyeing. Handicraft lovers can mingle in the shop’s cozy seating area, where knit-alongs and parties sometimes feature surprise extras such as professional massages, eyebrow waxes, or group appearances by the cast of Airwolf. For inspiration, patrons can browse the shop’s comprehensive selection of needles and inspect yarns that range from baby-friendly varieties to luxurious strands of cashmere.

As a young girl, jewelry designer Kimberly Brown was taught by her mother to never follow the crowd, and she has been flaunting her originality ever since.

At Urban Chocolate, she and her friendly staff act as stylists, helping their guests unleash inner artists while donning handcrafted and vintage clothing, purses, and shoes. Kimberly's line of jewelry is also always on hand to help guests spice up boring outfits or steal attention from their scales.

For more than 20 years, Jeweler's Choice's bling facilitators have draped earlobes, wrists, and fingers in sparkling stones encased in polished metals. A pair of silver hoop earrings ($54) makes fashionable hula hoops for jewelry-box ballerinas and adds elegance to ensembles when paired with a silver oval bracelet ($135). Intricately carved designs dance along the surface of Jeweler's Choice's silver oval pendant ($300), and border the cool, violet flash of the amethyst earrings ($675). Set in 18-karat yellow gold and a sterling-silver band, the chocolate and white diamond ring's cluster of precious gems dazzles onlookers and provide positive role models to influential coal rocks.
