Childhood Memories at Casa Bella

Childhood memories of favorite Christmas traditions while living abroad as a young girl are this year's inspiration behind our whimsy tree at Casa Bella Bed and Breakfast!

Growing up a military brat and celebrating Christmas in Germany will remain two of my favorite childhood memories!

Gingerbread, Stollen, Pfeffernussen and old world ornaments have had a lasting impact on my ideas for an old-fashioned Christmas.

Mitch Miller, Ray Conniff and other 60's bands played through-out the holidays at my parents house and there were always games, visits from family friends and parties! 

Merry Christmas, y'all!

2010 Trick or Treat in College-Temple District

What an absolutely stunning evening in downtown Newnan! Treat or Treaters arrived at Casa Bella early and were such bunch of cute dinosaurs, queens, cowboys and a possibly a future Sheriff! Watch out Mike Yeager, this young man is serious about cleaning up Dodge City!

Banana Crunch Muffins

Old Friends at Powers' 40th Year

The beautiful Labor Day weather in North Georgia made Powers' 40th Festival a very pleasant place to be. Near perfect temperatures and friendly vendors are reason enough to head out to the festival and enjoy the music venues, barbeque and southern favorites from local clubs and churches.

Main Street Garden

Lucky for me, Linda and Tina from the Main Street Newnan office were both headed out of town this weekend-with ripening fruit on the vine. Added to my own batch of cherry tomatoes I have enough to roast the sweet little morsels in olive oil and can for the long winter months when I will be desperate for anything that taste like it actually came out of the good earth!

Like so many, we had a very dry summer and only these past few weeks have we seen good drenching rains that have caused my tomato plants to bloom and produce a whole new batch of heirloom tomatoes!

Panera Bread Provides Inspiration

These luscious-looking cinnamon rolls from Panera Bread Company in Newnan are the inspiration behind our smaller version at Casa Bella! When mine grow up-they'll look and taste just like these! You'll see!

I love my French Presses and can't wait for that first sip of our Casa Bella Morning Coffee Blend with all of it's chocolately goodness!

Newnan Market Days-2nd Saturday of the Month

I had my usual good time on the Newnan court square this past Saturday with Newnan Market Days!

I catch up with friends, visit the pretty shops and enjoy a cappuccino at Espresso Lane! Ron and I always linger at the coffee shop-admiring Newnan's historic courthouse-just about to re-open.

Power's Festival is right around the corner and this year our festival will celebrate it's 40th year!

I find myself amazed that I have personally witnessed 18 years of Power's Crossroads! Main Street Newnan will showcase itself at the Country Store and as a volunteer I am really looking forward to meeting guests and catching up with Coweta County!

Casa Bella Bed and Breakfast is full with guests! Eight women will spend three days enjoying the festival as they have in years past! Some of them have stayed with us previously and we're looking forward to their return and meeting some of their friends!
