Over the weekend several of us took a class at Decatur Glassblowing.  Beautiful colors and textures, a 2000-degree (F) furnace, crazy tools and techniques, blowtorching, and a gorgeous gallery… what’s not to love?  We had a blast!

New Orleans is known for its craziness, so when I found this small window dressed with cozy homes and quiet reflections, I had to stop and take in the tranquility.
