Tammy Derr

Owner of Fairytales Bookstore & More

Originally from Rapid City, South Dakota, Tammy Derr moved to Nashville in 1998 "searching for Tennessee's beauty." After only two weeks in Nashville, Tammy met her future husband and business partner, John Derr. Three wonderful children followed.

After several years as a salon stylist, and 9 years as a stay-at-home mom,Tammy decided to embark on her dream of opening "Fairytales", a concept inspired by her first child, Katie. Tammy's lifelong experience as an entrepreneur encouraged her to listen to her instincts and open East Nashville's first independant children's bookstore.

"My goal is to create a safe space where children are free to express themselves through all mediums of art. I also want to provide a unique space for adults to relax and rejuvenate. I feel that East Nashville is the perfect place for "Fairytales" and the community support has proved it! -Tammy Derr
