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.
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.

Perfect for the season!
