Woodstock, GA and a New Favorite Shop

Happy, Happy Friday!  

Even though I don’t have any major plans this weekend (catching up on work) there are several things to be excited about.

1)  Word on the street is that Oprah is in town for the filming of the movie Selma, which she is also producing.  The movie is being filmed in downtown Marietta so I just might have to head that way to see if I can get a glimpse of her.

2)  I’m being featured on TerrysBlinds Designer Insights series and I’m thrilled about it.  I’ll share the full feature tomorrow.

3)  I don’t know if I’m ready to pull the trigger yet but we’re going to look at kittens.

4) and finally, I’ve got a great new store to share with you.

All good things!

A couple of days ago my dear friend Sheila invited me to lunch and a shopping tour of Woodstock where she lives.  Even though Woodstock is only about 30 minutes away from me, I’ve never visited the downtown area so I was excited to check it out.

Woodstock is located north of Atlanta and is a growing and developing community.  Over the last few years, the downtown area has been developed into a mixed use area with the most adorable homes, townhouses, shops and restaurants surrounding main street.

One of the businesses that Sheila took me to was the Leaning Ladder.  The store sells wine, vinegar and the most amazing selection of gourmet olive oils you’ll ever see.  If you love to cook this is definitely a place you want to check out.

Sheila also took me to several home decor/gift stores all of which were cute but there was one that really stood out to me.  Having owned my store for many years it’s hard to find a store that makes me take notice but LINDEN did that and easily made it onto my list of favorite shops.  Let me take you on a tour!

Linden is  located in an old home that oozes of charm and character.  Laurie, the owner has filled each room with a wonderful collection of French and English Antiques, home accessories, unique lighting, original artwork and European Influenced Florals & Garden Plantings.

This wall basket was a stunner!

Laurie didn’t miss a beat and created the cutest product vignettes in each closets throughout the house.

Linden had a great collection of shells, coral and starfish at fantastic prices.

The store also has a great selection of tabletop and gift items.  I will definitely be going back to pick up a few of the white ceramic platters and plates.

I could go on and on with how great this store is but I won’t give it all away, you’ll just have to go check it out for yourself . And tell Laurie I sent you.

For those of you that don’t live in Atlanta, good news, you can shop Linden online!

      Hi there,
      We had two cats that both lived to be 17 and 18 respectively. It’s been a couple of years without cats and I think it’s time. I hope to get two when we decide to go for it. In the meantime I will continue to be entertained with your two precious ones.
      Have a great weekend.
      Shelly
