Long-time Perrysburg resident and dedicated Toledo arts supporter Sandy Blackstone Carman has owned several fine shops over the years; Devoon is her latest creation.
What is the meaning of ‘Devoon’? It’s a special made-up word, meant to express exhilaration for something extraordinary or sublime. It’s a word Carman’s mother made up long ago, when Sandy was just a child; a word she uses often in conversation that has wormed its way into her daily vocabulary.
What can you expect to find in this specialty shop? Gifts for the discerning eye at a smart price, for starters. Examples include: eclectic jewelry and jewelry cases, cashmere scarves, sophisticated clothing, beautiful handbags, clever wine stoppers, baby accoutrements, luxurious Terranova® bath products, personalized stationery, chic rain boots and ballet flats, fine china and fabulous serving pieces.
Unique items
Carman felt there was room in the local market to open a shop where customers could find unique items they could not locate elsewhere, or would have to find online. Her collection also includes consignment artwork and carefully selected antiques. Carman frequently hunts for items at local estate sales and trade shows. She travels so you won’t have to.
Carman decided to infiltrate Toledo’s growing downtown commerce scene with a prominent location in the Davis Building. The space pairs well with her merchandise—ornate tin ceilings, warm exposed brick, and large front windows that create an inviting feel. Her motto is “affordable and unique…something for everyone…all ages and occasions.”
Devoon Boutique, 911 Jefferson Ave.
11am-6pm Monday-Friday,
