OUT SHOPPING.....


FUN... FUN..... AFTERNOON

The other day, Patti asked when I was going back to Senoia! GREAT QUESTION!

This morning, MC and I thought today was a perfect day to venture to our favorite little "village"!


We arrived in time for lunch. When we go by ourselves, we like to "dine" at Senoia Coffee & Cafe! Great coffee, food and delicious sweets. I had their famous cinnamon bun, and MC had what I call
REAL FOOD......a sandwich!







Then down Main Street to browse the fun shops!



TWIST ON MAIN


Twist On Main is one of my favorite shops. They have fabulous treasures.....












LOVE THIS STORE..... A LITTLE PRICEY, BUT THEIR MERCHANDISE IS SO APPEALING AND THE DISPLAYS ARE EXTRA ATTRACTIVE. LOVE THE PLATES..... THE PRETTIEST SHADE OF WISTERIA I HAVE SEEN!!!!



THE FOLLOWING SHOTS ARE FROM A STORE, DON'T KNOW THE NAME! FOR YEARS I HAVE CALLED IT "THE STORE WITH THE DOOR MATS"!





NOT SURE ABOUT THIS ONE!


MY FAVORITE PIECE IN THE STORE, AND HAS BEEN FOR THREE YEARS!!!...... MANY, MANY ITEMS GO ON SALE.....NOT THIS CHAIR!!! IT'S $325 NEVER A PENNY LESS!!!!!
ONE DAY IT WILL GO ON SALE...
I JUST KNOW IT WILL!




Proof.....these items are on sale!!!!




NOTE THE STORE... "BEYOND THE DOOR" .... THE ONE WITH THE AWNINGS

THIS CHEST CAUGHT OUR EYE.....IT WAS SO, SO, OVER THE TOP!!!!......I SNAPPED A PICTURE AND THIS NASTY, MEAN, WOMAN APPROACHED ME AND SAID: "I DON'T ALLOW TAKING PICTURES IN MY STORE!"
SO.....MC AND I LEFT, WITH PICTURE OF UGLY CHEST AND WILL NEVER RETURN! I USED TO LIKE THAT STORE!!!! NASTY MEAN WOMAN!!!!



THIS GUY WAS IN THE BACKYARD OF AN ANTIQUE SHOP.....$275!!

IT'S STILL THERE IF YOU WANT IT!



CYDNEY'S ALLEY, IS ONE OF OUR FAVORITES. WE HAVE BOUGHT A NUMBER OF THINGS HERE, INCLUDING OUR WONDERFUL PAINTED CHEST!



MC DOES SIT HERE......


WE BOUGHT ONE THING THIS AFTERNOON. THE "CHARACTER" GOT ME....AND THE PRICE....$18! PERFECT PIECE FOR MC'S NEW TABLE
FROM CYDNEYS ALLEY

SENOIA IS FAMOUS FOR BEING THE "HOLLYWOOD OF THE SOUTH". NUMEROUS MOVIES AND TV PRODUCTIONS ARE FILMED THERE. HERE ARE A FEW OF THE "TILES" IN THE SIDEWALK NOTING THE FILMS




THIS COMING JUNE, THROUGH DECEMBER," THE SOUTHERN LIVING IDEA HOUSE" WILL BE OPENED FOR VISITORS.
THE DOLCETTO-ANS ARE PLANNING A TRIP. WE ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO A GREAT DAY WITH A WONDERFUL MEAL. MANY, MANY RESTAURANTS TO CHOOSE FROM





WE HAD A WONDERFUL AFTERNOON AND HAVE THIS TREASURE AS A REMEMBRANCE! SO PRETTY ON MC'S TABLE!!!

  3. I loved this one. I can see how it took you hours to put it together. It was like reading an expensive magazine, like Traditional Home, without paying for it! Great ideas!
