In one of the Atlanta market showrooms, a resource was offering ‘vintage’ items…cash & carry. While the idea of purchasing unique items for our showroom and website was appealing, the prospect of carrying our purchases around for the rest of the day was not…until I saw hundreds of batik woodblocks. When my husband saw my eyes light up, he knew and immediately asked “how many do you want?” I stopped at five, but Bill added a sixth and then lugged them 4 blocks to the car while I continued to tour showrooms.

One of the woodblocks is an actual carved block of wood, the other five are blocks of wood with curled metal inserted into the wood to make intricate designs. I can’t wait to have time to play with them. Even small portions of the designs will be fabulous.
