A Day At The Market & Two Cute Yorkies

There's nothing better than a lazy Sunday afternoon at The Chattanooga Market ! You can find all sorts of great things. There are tons of farm fresh fruits and vegetables, fresh cut flowers, & not to mention fresh baked goods. There is usually live music, that you can enjoy while shopping or grabbing a bite to eat at one of the many eateries there. Our Favorite Place to get a sandwich is The Yellow Deli .
They have cool stuff to do for all ages, including an art area and climbing wall for the kids. Each Sunday has a different theme, including Classic Cars to Wine Tastings. Just another cool thing to do in Chattanooga ! 






My daughter Kelse and her friend Olivia

 These awesome wind-chimes are made from old carnival glass.
 I have had one for years and it has taken on the best patina.  




 However, my favorite thing to do on any day of the week is spending time with my cute muses, Fridell and Mabelline Marie.

Chattanooga - A Cool Town, My Town !

What better way to start off my blog than to tell a little about where I live. Chattanooga has many thriving suburbs, but we tend to gravitate toward the downtown area since it is so close to our home. On the North Shore we have great shops to find one of a kind gifts, terrific restaurants, and beautiful parks. One of my favorite places to scour for great finds is called "The Knitting Mill". It is literally housed in an old mill. 












 The South Side is an up and coming artist mecca with great galleries, shops, supply stores, and a few places still unknown to the general public to grab great things.  Our favorite place to hangout is "Merchants On Main", where you can find great pieces of furniture or a great gift. Heck, They'll even give you a drink !!! 

















So besides the better known places, such as "Our Aquarium", Our Beautiful Rivers, "The Choo Choo", Rock City, and Ruby Falls, there are many cool places to explore. So next time you have a chance, come and visit our fair city !
