Custom Jewelry from
Courtney Poole-Pendergrast
Retail Value - $700
​
The pendant is sterling silver with copper mountains and a 24k gold sun. The chain is sterling silver, 18” long.
Courtney Poole Pendergrast is the owner, designer, and maker for Poole Pendergrast Studios, located in Toccoa in the foothills of Northeast Georgia.
Her work utilizes ethically sourced materials, and she often incorporates customer’s old, unworn jewelry into new designs. With a high respect for craftsmanship, Courtney utilizes methods of construction reminiscent of jewelers from generations gone by. She enjoys working as a jeweler and metalsmith because it requires ingenuity and creativity. Whether a piece is a custom heirloom to be passed on for generations or an object to be enjoyed by a child, it is carefully considered and well built.
The versatility of metal inspires Courtney while form, function, and aesthetics all play a key role in her designs. By applying different processes, a simple piece of metal can look as soft as a satin bow, rough-hewn as an old, weathered iron gate, or intricate as a piece of lace. She loves that there is always something new to discover, plus she has a soft spot for a well-balanced hammer! Her goal as an artist is to grasp a raw idea and forge it into something tangible and enduring.
Bourbon - Blantons with glasses and snacks
Big A Tobacco/Liquor
Retail Value - $180

Original Single Barrel
Blanton’s Original Single Barrel was once designated for ambassadors, dignitaries, and Colonel Blanton’s family and friends. Today, everyone has access to the world’s first single barrel bourbon. The taste profile is sweet, with notes of citrus and oak. The creamy vanilla nose is teased with caramel and butterscotch, all underscored by familiar baking spices such as clove, nutmeg, or cinnamon. Blanton’s Original set the standard for single barrel bourbons in 1984. Best served neat or on the rocks. Bottled at 46.5% alcohol by volume.
