Grand Opening to be held Jan. 28.
Taylor McKenzie Covert has really made a little house a Home in Historic Norcross. She said her lifelong dream was to open a retail store that showcases artistic items that people can use everyday—and she’s made the dream a reality at the historic house at 138 Holcomb Bridge Rd, formerly 138 Cemetery St. The shop, called Home, features “practical pieces that should be adored,” hand-selected by McKenzie Covert from up-and-coming artists around the country. McKenzie Covert already opened the doors to new home décor shop on Dec. 10, 2011—with a surprising amount of foot traffic so far, she says—and she’ll host a grand opening celebration on Jan. 28 from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. that includes guests Jeh Vinson and Ethan Sawyer of Sawyer Vinson Art …

The Earth Dog Bakery will make breed-specific, organic treats.
Got a golden retriever? Give him glucosamine for healthy joints and Vitamin E and Zinc for sharp eyes. A charming poodle? B-complex and Vitamin C will help support his thyroid. A doberman pinscher? His perfect blend might contain l-carnitine and taurine for heart and circulatory health. Earth Dog Bakery is a new business that makes dog treats that address the needs of specific breeds of pooches—and they are opening up a shop in Historic Norcross at the beginning of next year. “As dog lovers, we were surprised to see no one creating breed-specific dog treats,” said Tim Suggs, who is opening the bakery with his brother Andrew.
