I encountered this display while in New Orleans a couple of months ago.  I had to stop and ogle it for a few minutes.  It’s such a gorgeous dress, but I’m not sure I’d know how to get into it.

In the French Quarter of New Orleans, even the spaces between the buildings are filled with surprises.  I discovered these gorgeous blown glass flowers wired into fences around town.

H and I were in downtown Atlanta doing a little shopping and sightseeing with our nephew, F, when the shiny objects in these windows caught my eye.  I’m really a sucker for gaudiness.

This tower of macarons called out to me the minute I stepped through the doors of Croissant d’Or, one of my favorite bakeries in New Orleans.
