Photos on the geaux....

It was a weekend for the record books and I am still on cloud-nine {wine tastings, scooter rides, markets and a superbowl win}.   Here are some iPhone photos that I snapped leading up to the largest television event, with the exception of the St. Aug Marching 100 which our friend Rob Savoy sent over as a little pre-game enticement for this weekend in New Orleans.

Spring Windows

If you have been around here for a while you know that I am easily excited by Anthropologie and Upcycling.  Check out the new Spring Windows for Anthro on Flicker.  The flowers are made from plastic bottles.

I want to be in that number...

I love watching Jewel Brown sing and dance next to Louis {yeah, we are on a first name basis}

Go-go for the gold.

I don't know what it is about this week but I just can't seem to get black and gold out of my mind...

Zulu coconuts, John McCusker, The Times-Picayune and Gogo Cuffs.

Yard Sail

I am still thinking about shade cover for spring|summer.  Here is an image from El Cosmico 2009.  The artist used old plastic Target bags to create these sails. Might be fun for a crawfish boil or two....

Gimme Shelter

Our backyard has been rendered un-enjoyable during the summer months since we lost our shade tree last September.  I am always on the look-out for shade devices and keep coming back to the beautiful work of Ball-Nogues Studio.  Maybe these LA-based artists are headed to Houston sometime and would like to use our yard as a canvas for their first permanent structure?

"Every Night of the Year"

MyNameIsJohnMichael embarked on a project back in 2008 to write one song a week for the entire year, check out the website for the full story on this incredible project.  I can't wait to check them out during the second weekend of Jazz Fest.  Loving the brass, and upbeat percussions of ENOTY, enjoy...



Muchas gracias Roquel for giving us the tip!

Jump start the weekend
