Show Me The Door {All That Jazz}

It's festival season here in New Orleans. A couple weeks ago the French Quarter Festival was held in and near the Quarter. It is one of the largest, free festivals in the United States. This week the Jazz & Heritage Festival begins its first of two weekends at the Fairgrounds. Let's hope and pray for continued nice weather.



In anticipation of the festivals, I called upon Melissa Henry of Show Me The Door to design two streetcars with Jazzmen silhouettes. And she certainly delivered.




I adore the fun nature of each and the theme of "All That Jazz". You also have to love the musical note ribbon.

I also added the saxophone (also by Show Me The Door) to the large wreath on the front porch.



All That Jazz, y'all!

  4. I love these. When I was teaching college level French classes I loved to include New Orleans and LA culture into my lesson plans. I tell my students to consider that if the Louisiana Purchase had not happened many more would be speaking French in our regions. That would cause them to pause...then chuckle.
