My 'Favorite Photo of the Week' is of two of my favorite guys, Nathan and Elijah. Now keep in mind that I have several favorite guys, including Robert, my Dad, Brayden, Mike, Chris, Tommy, Sky.... but these two just happen to be accompany me to The Marietta Square today. Just to set this up, Elijah is always the clown and Nathan is now a self-proclaimed model after he watched a certain episode of the show 'Big Time Rush'.
Wednesday marked new beginnings for one of our favorite venues, Darwin's. If you're not familiar with Darwin's, it's been one of the best Blues Bars here in Marietta/ATL for many years. We were all disheartened when it closed several months ago. There's just something about this hole in the wall that endears so many. A new owner/operator Christopher Robinson has re-opened Darwin's and another of our favorites, Larry Griffith is hosting a Blues Jam every Wednesday beginning at 8pm. (Click here for a peek inside)
I've told you about the 3/50 Project in previous posts, so I'd like to share my fabulous February finds with you. I'm also sharing the 3/50 Project with my favorite local retailers/venues to see if they want to participate to drive more of our residents to shop right here at home in Marietta.
- Necklace of carved bone, and bracelet of copper wire & findings from a Ecologie - Trendy Consignment in Kennesaw at the Town Center Mall.
- A funky Kelly Rae star ornament from Limelight at The Marietta Square.
- A new book (to me) titled 'Still Mostly True' by Brian Andreas from Limelight at The Marietta Square.
- Big bottle of Aquage Working Spray from my favorite hairdresser Deborah of Hair by the Square.
As soon as I picked up the book by Brian Andreas, I remembered the two that I had purchased years ago. Trusting Soul and Strange Dreams. Short little stories or sayings that provoke thought and correlation back to one's own life. I joke with friends that I don't like books with words, but rather pictures and find that my favorite books/authors do just that. The list is short, but the possibilites that are evoked through pictures and the written word are endless.
- Life is Good - Simple Words from Jake & Rocket - I keep this one on my desk and let my friends choose the page to leave it open to. (also purchased from Limelight at The Marietta Square.)
- Eat Mangoes Naked and Succulent Wild Woman by Sark - These books look like they're written by a first grade student with colorful markers. Lots of picture drawing and thought provoking exploration of ourselves, pushing the limits to become who we want to be. Check out her website - it is awesome!
- Still Mostly True - by Brian Andreas - I think I'll take this one to work too!
A couple of new places that I checked out this week, are too exciting not to share with you!
- Tucci's is an exciting new Consignment Shop of in Kennesaw of eclectic furniture and home decor. They've even got a stop light that I've got my eye on!
- Then there's Sugar Plum Visions, a shoppe that can create any cake you can imagine. My friend Margret K swears by them! We'll be trying them out soon.
And the biggest new News is that Robert has turned in his resignation and will be embarking on a new life in a couple of short weeks from now. It's time..... A quote from the Still Mostly True book by Brian Andreas sums it up.
most people don't
know there are
angels whose only
job is to make sure
you don't get too
comfortable & fall
asleep & miss your
life
Until next week my friends....
Go try something new!
