New Children’s Clothing Store Opens in Jasper

Sharon Dial was having trouble finding clothes for her three grandchildren. But instead of complaining about it, Sharon decided to do something bold.

Enter Free Spirit Children's Clothing & Accessories.

Located at 1301 Highway 78 East, Suite 206 in Jasper next to the old Moore’s Landing space, Free Spirit is a children’s store that is the perfect blend between a gift store and boutique.

Free Spirit offers many of the top brands: Itsy Ritzy, Feltman Brothers, Magnolia Baby, and Footmates, and prices range from $10 and up. And whether it's monogramming that perfect gift or you're searching for a diaper bag that you can pass down through generations, Free Spirit has it.

The inspiration for the store's name, Sharon says, came from Sharon’s father, who used to call Dial a “free spirit.”

"Free Spirit allows you to have a true free spirit vibe while delivering a unique twist on styles and brands that you could before only access online or in a different county,” Sharon said. “Free spirit offers a laid-back and fun shopping environment while we get to learn a little bit about you, your family, and the little bundle of joy you are purchasing for.”

Even though she lives in Pinson, Sharon makes the drive to Jasper six days a week—a trek that could take up to an hour and ten minutes—all so her grandchildren and the children of Walker County have a store exclusively for them.

So, the next time you're looking for children's clothes or accessories, swing by and let Sharon "get your free spirit on." 78
