No To Faux, Doughnuts, & Four Bridges Arts Festival, Chattanooga TN

This weekend, we went to Four Bridges Arts Festival and also drove over for a minute to Faux Bridges, which is just a few artists in the parking lot down from Winder Binder Gallery. From what I understand, the group that makes up “Faux” is actually there every week, but use the Faux name the weekend of Four Bridges as a little bit of a joke. That one I won’t do again – just nothing there that appealed (although I have to say, if you’re in town and have never been, you can walk through it in two minutes flat just to see):

…and after you walk it, you can jump across the street to the new Julie Darling Donuts shop – they just opened in February:

L-R, Oreo chocolate, regular glazed, and buttermilk on the bottom. They have both yeast-based doughnuts there (think Krispy Kreme: yummy) and cake-based (think Dunkin: eh, not my fave). The regular, yeast-based glazed doughnuts they had were really, really good!

Okay! Here’s Four Bridges Arts Festival. First is Tim Hooper “Mr. Hooper”. His next festival is Inman Park in Atlanta April 24-25:

Christopher Baumann pottery. I think his next show is the Decatur Arts Festival in Georgia May 29-30:

The drive to Chattanooga was worth it just to see what John had brought. Wow.
