Bayou Boogaloo Festival !

Well here is my booth set up before the heat set in and melted me like the Wicked Witch of the West! I had a new sign made for the outside top of my tent, which I just love. My husband designed it - don't you just love it?

So, the big highlight of the Festival for me was meeting Jeanette Maier, the famous Canal Street Brothel Madam. She was selling her handmade candles and scents at the festival. I bought a couple of candles from her and she gave me one of her red bumper stickers that says "Support the Canal Street Brothel. Give Piece A Chance" I think she was treated badly and I am still waiting for at least ONE of the men involved to be arrested like she and the other women were. She was friendly, charming and I enjoyed meeting her. She came down to my booth to see my Storyville ladies - I told her I was selling prostitution at the other end of the Festival!

I had a good day, other than the heat. My friend Joshua Lee - of Joshua Lee Studio - he takes magnificent photos was across from me and bought a very FINE hat. I had to take a picture of him as it looked so cool on him
