The Last Stop Gift Shop will host a trunk show by Ferd & Bird Jewelry on Thursday, January 26 from 2p.m. to 5p.m.
A wine and cheese reception will follow the show from 5p.m. to 7p.m.
Ferd & Bird features the skills of local jewelry artist Danielle Chandler. A mixed media artist, she takes vintage jewelry, metal, china and glass to create one-of-a-kind handmade pieces.
A large selection of various styles of jewelry will be available for purchase including Valentine's Day gifts made with antique china pieces crafted especially for this show. The artist will be explaining construction techniques and the inspiration behind the jewelry.
"We are excited to showcase Ferd & Bird and Danielle's work because her unique way of bringing together old, forgotten pieces into a new piece of jewelry creates a timeless treasure that is stunning around the neck," said Charlene Mathis, manager of the Last Stop Gift Shop.
The Last Stop Gift Shop carries a large stock of jewelry, gifts, and local artwork. Additionally, the gift shop is Rome's largest supplier of signature apparel and gifts.
The Last Stop Gift Shop and Rome - Floyd Visitor Center is inside a 1909 restored train depot and caboose located at 402 Civic Center Drive, directly across from Applebee's.
