Furry Friends at Market Days

So many of the creatures that cross my path are furry! Thankfully, our own local market held on the square each month in downtown Newnan provides me with so many great photo opportunities.

In a week or so vendors will set up around the newly renovated court house creating yet another chance to photograph "man's best friend"!

I'm working on a special wall upstairs dedicated to our furry friends!  So many have crossed the Rainbow Bridge but they are in our hearts, forever!

Bed and Breakfasts South of Atlanta's Airport

Finding the right Bed and Breakfast after a long flight can be an exhausting activity.  How are you to pick through all the offers and find the right "fit"?

Casa Bella Bed and Breakfast of Newnan believes that we meet or exceed our guests expectations.  We understand the need for quiet interiors, nearby or in-room amenities  . . . like our Keurig single cup coffeemakers with a coffee to suit your tastes, easy access to Ron's wonderful chocolate chip cookies, and bedtime chocolates!

The last thing you need is to have to hunt us down for extra towels, toilet paper or directions to our area's restaurants.  Our rooms are well-stocked, delightfully clean and everything you need is within easy grasp!

Georgia Peach Breakfast Taco

It's one thing for me to write over and over how much we enjoy taking care of our guests! We do! BUT- I also want you to experience our Bed and Breakfast through the eyes of our guests!

Ellen and John of Mandeville, Louisiana stumbled upon our B & B through Google Maps! They checked in late-enjoyed pizza on the court square and a good night's sleep before continuing their road trip to Charleston.

Breakfast was leisurely and included another of our recipes from The Old Garden Inn. The Georgia Peach Breakfast Taco was a recipe I created for inclusion in PBS's "P" is for Peaches, Pies and Pecans way back in the late 90's!

Here's what Ellen and John had to say about their stay with us last night. Their comments are reprinted with their permission!

"Perfection. Fabulous hosts, delightful room and the food was amazing. You put Newnan on the map for us! What a great way to start our vacation! Thanks for the cookies and Good Luck with everything! P.S. Of course we love Zena!

International Flights Through Atlanta's Busy Airport

If you've a long road trip ahead of you after landing at Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport, Casa Bella is an ideal distance away from the madness of overcrowded terminals and crazy parking! About thirty-five miles south of the terminals-downtown Newnan is a quick four miles off Interstate 85!

Our own international travel experiences have contributed to the comforts and amenities offered at Casa Bella Bed and Breakfast. 

There's no need to unpack if you are traveling on-our robes are oversized and wonderfully fluffy.  Eco-friendly and delicately scented Honey Shampoo is provided along with gentle soaps and hairdryers. Convenient off-street parking takes the worry out of where to park the car and restaurants are within easy walking distance of our inn.

If you hoping to stay close to home, Casa Bella Bed and Breakfast offers a fabulous inground saline pool with plenty of privacy to enjoy a good book or if you must-a little office time.  With complimentary WiFi-there's no down time communicating with work!

Wedding Bliss at Casa Bella Bed and Breakfast

I love the way the sun pours through the beveled glass in our 1911 Greek Revival! As a "summer" personality I enjoy the bright sun bouncing off the pale aqua walls! My breakfast table usually reflects my passion for happy, sunny colors.

This morning, however, Newnan was totally overcast and it provided an opportunity to pull out a different color palette to liven up the shadow-filled front hall. I found some pretty red napkins and red plates to set on top of my fused-glass chargers nestled on top of rattan chargers! Our sweet course was served on golden "hobnail" plates that I picked up so many years ago at Nieman-Marcus in Atlanta. The deep garnet colored plates provided the perfect backdrop for a grilled brioche bread with a egg cooked in the hollowed part of the slice. A crispy pan-fried pork chop and our delicious homefries completed the plate!

Dunaway Wedding And Casa Bella Bed and Breakfast Of Newnan

Our honeymooners strolled off to enjoy a morning in downtown Newnan after a leisurely breakfast!

Starved and happy to enjoy some hot food we started them off with some Grilled Pound Cake with our Strawberries Romanoff. Their egg course included our "potted eggs" with fresh minced tomatoes and green onions and a light dusting of cheese. We rounded out the meal with our signature homefries and 10-Grain Toast!

They loved their Dunaway Gardens wedding and said it was "picture perfect"! After a great night's sleep they are off for a weekend in Coweta before heading out on their honeymoon!

Next weekend's bride and groom, also being married at Dunaway Gardens, will celebrate their first few nights in Newnan at Casa Bella Bed and Breakfast.  We take great pride in welcoming our newlyweds as they embark on their married lives together! 

Congratulations to all of our newlyweds!
