Tuesdays Touring Newnan......City Of Homes

It's Tuesday and time for me to pay homage to my beautiful hometown - Newnan, Georgia. It's Spring and folks around here's flowers are beginning to bloom and gardens are being tilled that soon will support melons, tomatoes, squash and other fine fare . Produce stands in corner markets offer boiled peanuts to pick up to take to ball games.

Newnan is a charming town of a million small memories, pieced together to make homes for our resident's and the generations of residents to come. Come take a stroll with me again........... (Don't forget that you can click onto each individual picture for a better up close and more detailed view)


First I want to show off my switch plate covers that I ordered from Attic Clutter!! She may not live here in Newnan but these fine hand painted folk art switch plate covers do now. I found these on her blog and knew that I had to have them for our house. Everyone that sees them loves them and you should check out her blog for more fine etsy items. She'll send them to you straight away with a sweet little note inside the post........




The entrance to Forest Lawn Memorial. I love the way the entrance sign is covered with creeping ivy..........




Blue Ribbon winning oil painting displayed in Espresso Lane Coffee House. They showcase local art and local talent and make a mean cup of cappuccino......




Lots of folks play Texas Holdem at the Alamo in town........




Andy's Corner Market on the outskirts of town. Beautiful flowers, awesome produce and delicious boiled peanuts are offered here on a daily basis. They will be buying my organic produce on Wednesdays and Saturdays beginning in May......




More of the gorgeous stained glass that graces many of our local homes and churches....




I thought the corner of this front yard off of Macedonia Road was really striking and I love the topiary in front of the Pampas grass.......




I love this old hand mortared brick wall with the old rusty silo behind it. I pass this quite often and always wonder what kind of men painstakingly laid all of these bricks. The wall is kind of long and I wonder if this was the beginnings to a "Great Wall of Newnan"...........







Of course I've saved my favorite snapshot for last. I was driving home late yesterday afternoon after a long day and saw these kiddos on the side of Roscoe Road all dressed up in their finery holding up this sign. Much to the chagrin of Prince I did a great big ole U-turn in the middle of the road to get this photograph. Thank goodness none of Newnan's finest was around to give me a lecture (though I'm sure that they would understand right?). I asked these young one's what this was all about and they all laughed and said "Well, we were kind of bored and it's really a big inside joke". They were ever so polite, as most of the children are in Newnan, and were happy to strike a pose for me. I'm sure that Butler or Bagman of The Butler and Bagman Chronicals will have a heyday dissecting the absurdities of the meaning behind this little venture. I'm going to lean towards the explanation of Bagman in advance because Butler can't stop obsessing about my hair. But that's another story entirely.

Hope everyone has a joyful day. Take good care and........


Steady On
