I used to go to the Lakewood Fairgrounds antique market every month but now we have so many things that I try not to go to markets often. We also used to go to auctions in Calhoun – they were great. <br />You sure looked good at the Atlanta Heart Ball – it must have been fun. I enjoyed looking at the Grove Park Inn again – isn’t it an interesting building! We stayed there a few years ago for my husband’s birthday in February – it was snowing and so pretty. I have never been to Newnan and now that I see your pictures of the Dunaway Gardens I’ll try to go and visit them, they look charming.Vagabondehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10774109692564954568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-215012239224279787.post-79196771896213712142012-04-16T16:55:32.515-04:002012-04-16T16:55:32.515-04:00Oh take my breath away darlin'.

We go there often and I love to explore new locations. This would be a beautiful place to visit. I have to go to a place where faeries live!
