Home At Last! with Patty Gironda

Unlike so many I'm always sad to see summer end! I've elected to "weather" the cooler months by discovering new activities that require cooler temps! This fall's project list includes my usuals favorites-smoking chickens, making fresh sausage, curing fish! Limoncello! All fun things I love to do that really are so much more pleasant without the scorching heat! I look forward to the Newnan Oktoberfest Beer Tasting, Fall Taste of Newnan and art walks showcasing local artists! There are so many opportunities to stroll our beautiful square when the cooler weather rolls in. In other parts of the county cruisers gather for car shows, neighbors stroll the streets of historic neighborhoods during progressive dinners and many groups host wine tastings to raise needed funds for favorite projects.   It's really a beautiful time in South Metro Atlanta and a pleasant time to reflect on the front porch with a great glass of wine!

  More fun things to do this Labor Day Weekend in Newnan, Georgia!

As a former interior decorator I adore the vibe of Encore Decor in downtown Newnan, Georgia. Well-displayed vignettes-filled with fun accessories and decorative elements for every room of the house. Consigned pieces keep the supply of great furniture and accessories fresh-while Janet's knack for finding unique pieces and objects d'art is apparent as you step through her inviting front door! Best of all, Janet has the good sense to offer her finds at fabulous prices-making for a fun shopping experience!
