Whiskey Wine and Woodworks
Eric Dietrich began creating furniture and home decor out of discarded whiskey barrels from major distilleries during the COVID shutdown.
“My wife asked me if I could make a chair out of a barrel, so I did. She sat in it and loved it right away,” he said. “She said I should make these things for other people, and the rest is history.”
Dietrich says the most gratifying part of handmaking the items is the reaction that people have when they see what he creates and “how happy it makes them.”
The rustic home decor available at this Orlando business includes an Ultimate Smoked Cocktail Kit, cigar holders, Christmas ornaments, checkerboards, dice sets and so much more.

Doughsheeter
Doughsheeter has been in the Orlando market for five years and is known for the production of manual dough sheeters of different models and sizes. They are designed to flatten dough of all types, from fondant to pizzas, croissants and more.
“The main reason for starting this business is to facilitate the work of many people through our products,” said owner Carolina Moran. “We dedicate a lot of love and passion to each product.”
The enterprise began in 2018, marketing handmade products to help make people’s work easier, whether for commercial purposes or simply for those who want to make their own dough at home and share a pizza with a friend.

Woof! Orlando
Woof! Orlando, located at 3529 Edgewater Drive in Orlando, offers grooming and boutique-style boarding and daycare that focuses on individualized care for each four-legged customer.
“Our overnight slumber ‘pawties’ are kept small, allowing us to give each dog the personal attention they need,” said Michelle Philbrick-Olds, owner of Woof! Orlando. “For our daycare members, we provide a spacious open-air doggie playground where they can enjoy sunshine and fresh air. We also have a unique sensory garden on-site, designed to mentally stimulate dogs who require more than just socialization.”
Philbrick-Olds started Woof! Orlando in 2008 because she experienced the challenges of finding reliable and high-quality care for her own dogs.
“It was important to me that every dog entrusted to our care would feel safe, loved and have an experience that exceeds their owner’s expectations,” said Philbrick-Olds.
Woof! Orlando offers a carefully curated, locally inspired retail store for dogs and their people. The store features local artists, showcasing their talent through various dog-related products. Additionally, dog lovers can find a thoughtfully chosen range of home goods and apparel.
