1. On Dec. 6, Provisions Cafe held its official ribbon-cutting ceremony. The cafe is located on the campus of Johnson Ferry Baptist Church. Provisions Cafe will offer coffee, as well as full menus for breakfast and lunch. There will be booths, tall tables, and working pods for those who want to get some work done while they enjoy their coffee. (Subscription: MDJOnline.com)
2. Make this the best holiday season ever for a rescue dog or cat by adopting a shelter animal. Cobb County Courier’s Dog of the Day is looking for his forever home, and it could be yours. According the Cobb Animal Shelter, Ziggy is a big sweetie! He's a mixed pitbull-type dog who wants nothing more than to cuddle with his family. Ziggy will be available for adoption on Dec. 13. (Cobb County Courier)
3. A new wedding concierge service has opened in nearby Paper Mill Village. Engaged Wedding Library – located at 255 Village Pkwy, Suite 510 – helps couples plan their weddings. Consultants will work with a couple and with vendors to create the wedding of their dreams. The company also offers wedding day management services. (East Cobb News)

From our sponsor:

Are you a Marietta resident looking for an investment alternative to the stock market? Consider fine art. Masterworks is the award-winning platform helping 575,000+ invest in works by the same world-renowned artists that are coveted by ultra-wealthy collectors and major museums alike (think Picasso, Basquiat, and Banksy.) Masterworks splits these multi-million dollar works into shares, so you can invest without breaking the bank.

Contemporary art has outpaced the stock market by a whopping 131% over the last 26 years. Seven of Masterworks’ eight sold paintings gave their investors a +17.8% net returns*.

Best of all, as a trusted partner, Marietta Patch readers can skip their waitlist to join.
