This was a stop on our same north GA weekend trip that was in my previous post. I’ll admit, there’s not a lot to do in Young Harris. It is a college town {has a college in it}, but does not remind me of the college town I know and love {Athens,GA}.

Lucky for me, Charles doesn’t mind going into antique stores. He prefers to browse, whereas I prefer to buy.

This place didn’t look like much, but it turned out to be larger than we thought.
Different vendors similar to the Antique Griffin. This booth below had painted furniture.

I carried this table runner around with me for awhile. It is terrible picture, remember no camera, just phone pics. Anyway, it is a muslin/linen type fabric. The pleats on the ends got me….After much measuring and discussion, we decided it was too long for our table. {And I really think the color was wrong}. Maybe this will be a project one day. Break out the old sewing machine from hibernation.

LOVED this bench! Just no place for it.

We did come to terms on another bench.

I never thought we’d agree on an old church pew.
Just the other day, I thought we needed a bench in our bedroom. Charles said this was a good idea. Growing up, we always had furniture that was not large and slouchy. I would tell my mom that I couldn’t wait to have big comfy pieces of furniture. Now I am married to someone who goes with the belief of “less is more.” When we got it in the room, I told him I was going to take a nap on it. Then Savannah actually jumped up there with me. {I didn’t take a nap on the pew}

As I am typing, I am thinking of all the people I have seen napping in church on Sunday mornings. Maybe this thing really is good for a quick nap….

I still have to decide what type of pillows to accent. Maybe one large seat cushion with a monogram in the center? I don’t want too many throw pillows, since the seat isn’t very deep.

The pillow is the one that stays on our bed, just on the bench to get ideas. I don’t mind the paint finish, but that doesn’t mean this thing still won’t get painted…

I still have a few things to do before I post a final reveal of our master bedroom. It has come a LONG way. New paint, headboard, and now a new bench.

This past weekend Charles and I took a trip to north Georgia. He had a conference in Young Harris. We drove through Dalonega, and did some quick shopping in the downtown area. That is when I realized that I did not take my camera!!!

After leaving Dalonega, we visited 2 vineyards on our way to Young Harris.

These pictures aren’t great since they are from my phone.

Wolf Mountain was the first winery we visited.

It was so beautiful. Immediately made us wish we lived on a vineyard.

We were also surprised and impressed with these Georgia winerys.

Below is Frogtown.

Of course I like any place that has a resident dog.

We met a guy who worked there from Albany, Charles’ hometown. Small world.

On Saturday, we went to Crane Creek, a winery near Young Harris. It is smaller, but just as beautiful!

This isn’t the resident dog, but a visitor.

Thought this vine covered shed was cool.

How cool is this? Love the sign.

I highly recommend visiting these winerys if you have a chance!

This is part 2 of our day at serenbe. You can see part 1 here. And my original post on serenbe here.

I can’t get enough of this place. Just love the new “old” house styles.

This below is an outdoor fireplace on a porch. This house was open that day. It’s for sale.

Have to take breaks.

We took a trail through the woods. First time doing that there.

I think this house below is so cute. Love the style and colors.

Great colors on this one too.Even though we love the look of a wood shingle roof, we decided it isn’t a practical choice. May not last long in our climate.

There are some cool shops there.

Another commercial area.

Remember the spread in Cottage Living a long time ago? This house below is next to the ones that were featured.

I think this one was in the magazine.

This is my favorite. Think I posted a pic of it on my bday wish list recently.

Hope everyone is having a great weekend!

We celebrated our 3rd wedding anniversary yesterday. It was a fun time. Went to Atlanta like last year, and had dinner at Two Urban Licks. It’s our tradition.

Since I started this blog well after we got married, I thought I would post some pics from that great weekend in 2007.

This first one is the rehearsal dinner at Bennie’s Red Barn in St. Simons.

This is my sister in law, Kim. I can’t believe how much Delaney has grown since then.

Same thing for Andrew & Davis.

Sarah Beth has really changed since then. Weren’t they all cute? Still are!

This was getting ready at my parents’ house. The girls were there to help.
These girls liked their flower girl dresses.

The big moment.

After the big moment.

This is one of my favorite pics from the day.

No wait, this one is….Definitely. Those of you who know me know why it’s EXTRA special.

Thank you Jennifer for helping with that very important part of my day

Thought I’d throw in a cake picture. I thought it turned out pretty good. Can’t remember all the different layer flavors.

I can’t believe how 3 years has flown by. I am looking forward to many more. April is such a happy time for me with birthday and anniversary!

don’t they look like they belong together?

this is our mirror. You may remember this post here.

i found this bucket at Twist on Main in Senoia, Ga. this is a cute shop that I have been wanting to visit for some time.

i think it’s the perfect addition to our living room. charles wasn’t quite so sure of my buying a painted bucket. i admit, it wasn’t a huge steal, but it looked like it was finished just like our mirror. . . i couldn’t resist.
