New Orleans Watermeter Ornament

New Orleans JAX Beer ornament

I am gearing up for Fall/Winter 2008 with new designs.  I plan to have my 2008 NOLA Christmas ornaments for sale this coming weekend at the Arts Market of New Orleans. Each year my ornaments tend to sell out, so buy early!!  We will be out at Palmer Park all day from 10-4pm, so please come and say HELLO!  We will have the ornaments for sale online for the first week of October. 

Lastly, please remember the people of Lafitte and Terrebone, Louisiana.  They were flooded by the recent hurricanes worse than we could have ever imagined.  Terrebone took a double hit, as it was flooded by Gustave only the week before Ike.  New Orleanians know their pain better than anyone else.  Please take a moment to make a donation to Helping Hands.  They are going to Lafitte and helping to gut homes.  The first step to getting Lafitte back to normal again.
