(a) At Festivity,
jewelry by local
artists
C.B. Divine, Cathleen Plate,
and Mark Edge entices
loyal collectors to trunk show parties. The
artists
will even
do custom work on
request.
(b)
The unique draw of
Providence Antiques is
that owner Claudia Thompson mingles pedigreed
furnishings with
cool new stuff,
like these animal prints on exotic
paper.
(c) Handmade silk-and-cotton bedding and
pillows at
DRTC Studio. Owner/designer/former model
Willis Watts
will decorate your entire
home if you like.
(d)
Ribbon-edged linens and
Italian
flatware set a table at DRTC
Studio. “Many people get
inspired by our
table settings and
just say, ‘I can’t decide.
Give me everything,’” confides a
sales
associate.
(e) “If my dreams would come true, bones would
rain
from the sky,” reads a pooch bed at
Chickweeds. But there’s plenty
of pampering
loot for their owners, too, including loads of toiletries
and
lotions, even “ice
cream” bath balls.

Don’t just hang out near the convention center. Take a foray into
Atlanta’s in-town neighborhoods. Virginia-Highland offers some serious
window-shopping on its leafy streets peppered with bungalows. Or visit the West
Side, where warehouses have been transformed into quirky boutiques and
restaurants. Either way, you’ll find the true heart of this young and booming
metropolis.
