VISIT! Jewels & Gifts

We have known Patti Dieguez from Jewels & Gifts for what seems like forever... Even before we opened our first store. Patti's showroom is the first many shoppers enter at Woodstock Market. She has an amazing knack for having just what customers want at a great price.

Patti isn't new to curating products with style and grace. For years, she owned a lovely gift shop in historic Roswell. Prior to that, she operated her own Roswell restaurant on Green Street. 

Patti and her husband Chris and their darling pup Mana love to greet the shoppers drawn into their showroom by the lovely vintage furniture and artwork, sparkling jewelry, stylish accessories and romantic antiques.

We hope you'll like Jewels & Gifts on Facebook!

Man Up

It's June and that means Father's Day so we've filled our gift section with gifts he'll love and even given our lobby display a decidedly masculine feel.

Take a look!

MEET! Sheila from Plum Doodles

Today we're happy to introduce you to Sheila Gerke from Plum Doodles. You may recognize her as a member of the Atlanta Home/DIY Bloggers that visited our store for their March meetup. 

WM: You've created an ingenious product. Tell us about it.

Sheila: Doodle Magic is an all natural solvent that transfers laser (toner-based) images onto wood or fabric. If you can print it, you can transfer it, super-easy. Many people use Doodle Magic to transfer images of old family recipes, love letters, postcards, etc to furniture for a durable memento.

WM: How did you come up with your fun name?

Sheila: The name Plum Doodles came from my love of all things purple, and the randomness of my projects. I like to doodle around with all sorts of things. :)

WM: What are your favorite items to embellish with your great medium?

Sheila:   I love to take apart furniture and use the pieces for new things. For example, using the top from a coffee table as a “canvas” for artwork. I print out the image (reversed) on a laser printer (or copier), and transfer to the painted tabletop using Doodle Magic. My favorites are French phrases and signs.

WM: What do you feel your readers enjoy most about your popular blog?

Sheila:  I write about my goof-ups as much as my successes. It makes people laugh, and helps them to get over the fear of failure and just give it a try. It also helps them avoid the same mistakes. If I didn’t include those disasters, I wouldn’t have much to write about! :)

You can buy Doodle Magic in Sheila's space on Aisle 8. There's a great tutorial on using Sheila's product on her blog. We hope you take a moment to like Plum Doodles on Facebook.
