Bear on the Square

Last weekend, my husband and I drove up to Dahlonega, GA for the 14th annual Bear on the Square festival. It is what they call a "mountain festival" which highlights bluegrass music, folk art, from my experience, really good lemonade. I was kind of skeptical at first about what the whole day would be like, but we ended up having a fabulous time. Dahlonega is such a cool mountain town. There are antique shops galore, places where you can pick up rocks and gold found in the mines, and the most decadent smelling chocolate shop I have ever been in. All that on top of the festival vendors and arts and crafts tents... I was in heaven. I can't wait to get back up there to check out all the stores I didn't get to see and to drive through the mountains again... and maybe eat at the Smith House (*hint hint*). :)

Here are some pictures from the event!

Spring has sprung!

I have to admit, I love the winter time for a variety of different reasons. My husband and I first started dating in the winter. I love the snow. I love scarves. I enjoy curling up by a fire. There is just something special about the winter!

But now that spring is approaching (It was 70 degrees outside today!), I do kind of enjoy this season too! My puppy, Denver, sat in the sun on the front porch pretty much all morning. He was a winter baby, so he doesn't know what it is like to bask in the sun! (I am sure he will really love it come summer time... haha) Flowers are blooming, the sun is shining, and my skin is one step closer to seeing color again! What could be better?
