More Stuff for My Storyville Fetish Boxes




Want to know a great place to shop for antiques and collectibles? Try Breaux Bridge, LA. My favorite Antique Mall is there with a great owner whose mother lost her home in Lakeview with 10' of water for 3 weeks. They tore it down. I know that feeling...been there...done that with so many of my childhood friends from Lakeview. My heart still weeps when I go there to take pictures for the house portraits I paint.

What did I find in Breaux Bridge? Victorian photographs for some shrine boxes. One in particular looks just like my 13 yr. old granddaughter, Kacie. A young girl, in the 1920s holding a cat. A photo soon to be an assemblage named "Kacie and the Cat". Also found some Victorian buttons and religious icons. Some good restaurants and music playing in the street to make to dance. Got an offer to shine my red Clarke shoes from the Shoe Shine Man on the corner of Main Street!
A great place to shop, eat and dance!!
What a great life to have to be able to go places like this and then make assemblages about Storyville, Bellocq and our great cemeteries in New Orleans!

Come see me at the next Art Market - April 26th - corner S. Carrollton and S. Claiborne in New Orleans.
