What's Old in Newnan

So I'm finally back in the good ol' south...which means I have left a place that currently feels quite comfortable for weather so hot that makeup literally melts off your face... But it is all worth it, especially because I surprised John, my fiance, really well by making the drive a few days earlier than he expected.

Today we went to Newnan, Georgia which is an old southern town with lots of history. We stopped by a few antique stores and one of the things I found was the BHG Cookbook for Kids! It has the same adorable limited color illustrations as the original, but with simpler (and mostly sweeter) recipes that are more child-friendly. 









































I also found this amazing purse. I love the colors, pattern, and texture. And there are metal hinges that keep it open or closed. It makes me think of Art Deco. The tag said that it was from Italy, but I don't know anything else about it. 







































Also, John's sister is letting me use some of her vintage patterns as I am finally going to take up sewing! She had so many nice ones to choose from and I am extremely excited to start making them, with my Granny's help of course! 





































I love this one because There is a detachable skirt with shorts underneath. I am definitely going to need some shorts. And the outfit overall is adorable. Also, I love pockets. 







































And finally, this was my outfit today!
