Backroads wandering to Hogansville.......part 1

Recently, on a stellar Spring weekend, I got the chance to wander back to my current FAV pickin' place.......
.....Born Again Antiques in Hogansville, GA. (Remember my previous post about the cool industrial lamps? This is the town and this is the place (above).......but more about that in the upcoming "Part 2")


Here's a bit of info about the town........there are a half dozen antique shops along Main Street......
(Hogansville is the home of the "Hummingbird Festival" held every year in October with over 200 artists and crafters)

.....there's the historic Grand Hotel B&B .........


.....and Van Byars Antique Auction is here as well, which runs about twice a month.

I love this cool old Art Deco theater--which now houses City Hall.
What cool architectural details!!

I had lunch at the Grand Hotel, and the innkeeper kindly invited me to take a tour........

....it's quite a beautifully restored place, with amazing woodwork and furnishings throughout the hotel.......


.....and a relaxing patio and garden area out back.....very pretty!

I chose this weekend to visit because the town was having their 1st annual Antique Show......
(you can sorta see that tall green cupboard I bought to use at the Country Living Fair-- the one that the guy is picking up)


.....I thought there was a nice offering of antiques, even though not a ton of dealers, but I plan to return next year--I hope this will be the next "Crabapple" one day!!

There is something quite special about this quaint little town and the friendly people that live here--I keep gravitating back to it and the surrounding area, and best of all, the pickin' prices around these parts are actually reasonable for the most part--something that is getting harder and harder to find!!

Coming up.....Born Again Antiques.....
