Bringing the beauty of nature to your everyday
About Bird & Brass
An Artist-Led Beginning
Bird & Brass is a gift shop and lifestyle store nestled in downtown Watkinsville, Georgia, founded by local artist Erika Pfluke. What began as an artist’s vision has grown into a thoughtfully curated space filled with clothing, home, garden, and gift items, alongside original artwork and prints by Erika and other local artists we love and support.
A Different Kind of Shop
Guests often tell us Bird & Brass feels magical—unlike anywhere else in the Athens area. We believe that sense of wonder comes not just from what you see, but from what you feel while you’re here. Every corner of our shop is shaped with intention, vignettes composed to catch your eye and your imagination, all while cultivating a life-giving atmosphere that invites you to slow down and notice the beauty around you.Rooted in beauty, community, and intentionality, Bird & Brass is a place created to inspire and restore. A place where you are warmly welcomed as our neighbors and friends.
Inspired by Nature
Nature is the quiet thread woven through everything we do. We draw inspiration from its beauty, creativity, and gentle wisdom, incorporating natural elements throughout the shop—from birds and florals to garden- and fauna-inspired designs.
We believe nature reflects God’s creativity and offers endless inspiration and seasoned encouragement, and we hope to help you carry a bit of that beauty into your everyday life. In that same spirit, we design and print our own in-house stationery line, Bleuet, created to bring art, intention, and meaning to the simple moments.
