Shopping Madison Georgia

Madison, Georgia has numerous antique stores and flea markets to shop away the hours in. 

Also many restaurants and coffee shops are located downtown. 

I usually eat a fried green tomato sandwich at The Chop House.

These images are from The Madison Market and garden shop next door. 

They sell  mostly European antiques inside and have an upscale restaurant in back.

Southern Porches

Pink houses always remind me of wedding cakes and this Madison, Georgia

 pink house with it's gingerbread trim is no exception.

The black porch rockers are a good color selection against the pink paint.

Even garages in Madison are noteworthy.

Look at the bench full of skulls.

You can never go wrong with classic white with black shutters. 

This porch has delicate trim details.

The window to the left of that porch. 

The side entrance of the house. 

Notice the landscaping is quite understated. 

This allows the majestic white house to take the spotlight.

I hope you are enjoying Madison, Georgia as much as we do. 

I have one more post coming later.

Porch House

The "Porch House" in Madison, Georgia.

It has one of the prettiest southern porches. 

 The residents can usually be spotted on the porch. 

And why not?

That is certainly where I would be.

The porch wraps and hugs the Craftsman style house. 

It is furnished in brown outdoor furniture that compliments

 the yellow exterior of the house.

I cannot have a house in Madison but I could 

duplicate this arbor and climbing rose in my garden.

 All the Madison historic houses have gorgeous yards. 

The spring home and garden tour is May1-3. 

I am not advertising for them. 

They do not know me.

Behind the splendid iris bed you can see a picket fence and

 three car garage for the "Porch House"

More posts on Madison coming soon.

Madison Market

The Madison Market in Madison, Georgia had just had a delivery of pumpkins.

The pumpkins were not arranged but sure were pretty piled up like that.

The Madison Market is full of European and American antiques. 

I did not take inside images as it was very dark.

A vintage bike greeted us out front.

This is a tremendous fairy garden. 

Fairy city perhaps?

General Sherman did not burn the city of Madison in his march through the south. Therefore the city has an abundance of stately southern homes and darling cottages. Madison has one of the largest historic districts in the state of Georgia. The downtown is splendid.

 If you are near Madison do visit. 

This was my first visit thanks to The Talented B. 

 I will be going back soon.
