  Snag Dr. Quinn’s signature. Spend “A Weekend with Jane Seymour,” Jan. 19 to 21 to be exact, as she signs her celebrated artwork at Elegant Attic, a fine art gallery and home furnishings store in Roswell. As a British-born actress, she captured Christopher Reeve’s heart in the romantic classic “Somewhere in Time,” made Roger Moore swoon as a Bond girl in “Live and Let Die,” and most recently, tried to seduce Owen Wilson in “Wedding Crashers.” She’s had quite a career from Broadway to Hollywood, but she wears many hats from mother of six and humanitarian to author and artist. From 1 to 5 p.m. on Saturday, Seymour will personally sign and dedicate purchases from her collection including original pieces, limited edition prints, scarves, purses and pillows. (Event is free and open to public, but please reserve space online or by phone.) Also scheduled are a VIP Reception and Preview on Friday evening priced at $125 and a Sunday Champagne Brunch and Art Show for $100. Elegant Attic is located at 120 Bulloch Ave. For details, please call 678-261-7988 or visit www.elegantattic.com.

  Relive high school. Been clueless as to why your tween has been chanting “Get’cha Head in the Game?” Similar to the Beatles invasion, “Disney’s High School Musical” is sweeping the nation.

  Soak in some tea. Priced less than a coffee shop latte, a pot of tea not only chases away the chills, it also proves to be the perfect natural remedy for a number of ailments. A recent study of more than 40,000 men and women in Japan found that those who drink a lot of green tea live longer. This herbal hot drink is said to promote digestion, improve memory, reduce high blood pressure, promote weight loss and fight off colds. That’s a pot full of reasons to get steeping. Sip a cup at Doc Chey’s tea bar with locations in Emory Village, CityWalk at Sandy Springs, Ivy Walk at Vinings and Virginia-Highland. This Asian Kitchen dispenses good karma in nine flavors from green tea chai and Echinacea Immune Support to Raspberry Ginger, all priced at $2.

  “Give the gift of life.” Last month, DeKalb Medical Center and the American Red Cross reported a critical shortage of blood in Metro Atlanta. Donations typically drop in the winter months due to hectic holidays, inclement weather and illness. Even students’ winter breaks play a part, as almost a quarter of the supply comes from high school and college blood drives, said Candice Gulden, the Southern Region Spokesperson for the American Red Cross. Bring on the juice and cookies, as January is National Blood Donor Month. To locate a drive, go to www.givebloodredcross.org.
