Knot Enough Thyme and Treasures on Main – 109 W Main Street – www.knotenoughthyme.com
I wandered into this business on a mission … to deliver the clues for this week’s pumpkin contest at the behest of Angie. Before I left I knew I had to include it in this week’s Business Inc. column as it was right up my alley.
From local honey, coffee, dips and spreads, herbal blends and unique gifts and treasures, if you can’t find a unique gift for yourself or someone else here, it can’t be found.
“Our goal is to provide a diversified and unique gift-buying experience you can’t find elsewhere,” said Angela Brown, owner of Treasures on Main.
Brown decided to follow a lifetime dream after many years in the restaurant business to open a shop filled with unique gifts and treasures.
Connie Tjarks started Knot Enough Thyme in a farm house on a kitchen table combining her passion of cooking with herbal blends that are naturally grown and certified organic.
Brown and Tjarks found their skills complimentary and partnered with a shop in downtown Smithville.
Just entering the business is a pleasure as the combination aroma of candles, essential oils, soaps and so much more creates a potpourri of enjoyment.
Both agree downtown Smithville is the place to be and are hoping for even more businesses to join them offering even more attractions on the square for those visiting DeKalb County and walking the square.
You can even find furniture from slightly used to antique. I found an awesome unique gift for my sister in some Bourbon Honey. I was tempted to sample the goods, but figured giving it away partially consumed would be a faux-paus. Besides, I know where to buy more.

If you’re looking for an authentic Mexican restaurant experience, Humberto Ayala just opened up Fiesta Jalisco in the Walmart Shopping Plaza and he’s got you covered.
Originally from Jalisco Mexico, Ayala has been in the restaurant business for over 25 years and is looking forward to serving the folks of Smithville and DeKalb counties.
With something for everyone, the lunch menu starts at $4.99 with the Speedy Gonzalez, which is one enchilada and one taco served with rice or beans. If grilled shrimp and vegetables is to your liking, you can choose that instead with melted cheese and rice for $6.99. Other choices include fajitas, huevos rancheros, tamales and more. Lunch is served from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Dinner combos are $7.49 with 30 choices and that’s just on page one of the menu. Fiesta Jalisco offers appetizers, salads, soups, kids’ meals and a variety of other options that all look delicious.
Steaks, pork and chicken dishes, mariscos, ala carta and nacho plates all grace the menu.
Ayala recommends the Molcajete and soon you can enjoy margaritas along with an ice-cold beer at happy hour, coming soon.
