Happy Jazz Festin'

 Though Jazz Fest is not my jam (too hot/too crowded/long lines/portalets), I do like to show my support, and it gives me yet another excuse to decorate the front door.

Years ago, I had Jazz Fest artist, Nan Parati, design a Jazz Fest-inspired sign with Acorn Cottage. I have used it for years. Embellished with gingham ribbons, the sign is the perfect Jazz Fest welcome. We will certainly be festin' from our front porch!

Jazz Festin', y'all!

Tulip & Hydrangea Doorhanger

 It's definitely spring in New Orleans and that means a new doorhanger. Thanks to my contact at Southern Antiques in Laurel, MS and the local Mississippi artist, the newest spring doorhanger is such a warm, welcoming addition and adds the perfect spring touch to the front porch.

Spring Doorhanger, y'all!

Easter Around the Cottage

 J & I love celebrating holidays, and Easter is no exception. Bunnies, eggs, and tulips abound through our home.

Today is the first day of spring break. I love having some time off from the hustle and bustle of teaching young minds.

Easter Around the Home, y'all!
