Emily G's Jam of Love   Two Doves Farm Sprouts  An undeniable truth. . .Georgia has remarkable Fall weather! And! We celebrate our gorgeous weather outdoors-as evidenced by the crowds milling about the Fresh South Market in Peachtree City this morning. Beautiful, crisp air with plenty of sunshine, the smokey smell of BBQ and sultry tunes greeted shoppers at the new Fresh Market site on Hwy 54.  Vendors offered "fresh from the garden" greens. sprouts, veggies and a good mix of fresh baked breads and sweets! A bi-weekly market held on Wednesdays and Saturdays, Fresh South Market will celebrate the end of the 2010 Season with a Dog Walk-complete with prizes on Saturday, October 30th.   To learn more about the Fresh South Market and the 2011 Season please visit http://www.freshsouthmarket.org/  Susie Berta  "Rick & Susie's Little Gourmet Cookies" 

I have made it a goal to appreciate every minute of spring in Georgia! Yesterday provided a special treat as a group from our Coweta committee headed to Dunaway Gardens to finalize party plans for this month's Georgia Travel Writers Marketplace-showcasing Coweta and Troup Counties! One can easily imagine actors, directors and celebrities strolling the grounds-revitalized and inspired by the beauty of the gardens and fortified by the delicious food of the Blue Bonnet Tea Room! Last weekend's guests of our Bed and Breakfast, Casa Bella attended a lovely wedding at Dunaway and were appreciative of the beauty and serenity of both facilites! Friend, Susie Berta captured the essence of our beautiful county in her own lovely garden with stunning pale apricot-colored Abraham Darby Roses. Susie and husband, Rick are responsible for Good and Gracious Gourmet Ricotta Cookies . Available at Newnan Market Days or online.
