New Orleans Get-a-way! Part 1-Curb Appeal

Exhilaration....

When all your senses are on alert...and you are giddy with excitement...

When your creative adrenaline is on overdrive...

and your feet feel 2 feet off the ground....

If you are a creative-type...I know you know what I am describing.
It's awesome to feel this thrill..and that is exactly

how I felt during my recent visit to New Orleans.

A Yearning for Urns

I remember when the attraction began....when my husband's job moved us from California to the South.  It was there that I was exposed to the beauty and character of older, Southern architecture and garden decor...and the classic urn stole my heart.

Urns like this beautiful 5 foot tall one in Jackson Square in New Orleans,
