Tea at The Potted Geranium in Greensboro, Georgia

As an avid lover of afternoon tea I’m always interested in trying out new tea rooms when I travel. We heard that The Potted Geranium was an amazing tea room in downtown Greensboro, Georgia not far from Madison, Georgia where we often go for the historic home tours. We decided to make a trip out for Miss Marie’s birthday and it was so worth it! The historic home that houses The Potted Geranium has been beautifully restored and decorated. The food is delicious and the ambiance is just perfect. You feel like you have been whisked away to another time and place. I would recommend this to any lover of tea time or just for a nice ladies luncheon spot. Take a look at where we spent our afternoon and, of course, the tasty treats we partook of.

We did a bit of antiquing and walked around town. We went shopping at the local farmers market, The Ripe Thing, and picked up some nice produce.

What is your favorite place to get a spot of tea? Any suggestions on a way to spend a girls weekend? We’re jetting off for another adventure this weekend! Jane is definitely coming along for the ride :)

Have a bright day!

Douglasville Penny McHenry Hydrangea Festival 2013

861

The first weekend in June Douglasville hosts their annual Penny McHenry Hydrangea Festival. We usually go every year and are always inspired by what we see in the gardens. Luckily the rain started just as we were finishing up and it was a nice day to stroll through the gardens.

So many ideas for repurposing old things to make them fresh and new again.

Who else stepped into these lovely gardens during the festival? I recently found some pale, pale pink hydrangeas that are so gorgeous! I’ll have to add them to my wish list. What is your favorite hydrangea shade?

Have a bright day!
