Heaux. Heaux. Heaux. {It's a Wrap}

I can hardly believe that it is Christmas Eve. It is 77 degrees here in NOLA, and I am sweating. It does not feel like the season to me.

One of the final things to do is to wrap all the gifts in anticipation of good ole St. Nick. I love to wrap, and my wrapping skills were showcased in the latest issue of Adore: click HERE.

For my Christmas presents this season, I chose a lovely hand-drawn paper by local Walkingman Studios. It features illustrated NOLA holiday homes. A simple red ribbon compliments each package.

I also used Emily McCarthy's red spot cheetah paper. A gold bow best compliments the paper.

Are your presents wrapped???

Merry Christmas Eve to all my readers.

Giving Thanks for ... {The New Hazelnut}

Hazelnut has opened its new store only four doors down from its previous location at 5525 Magazine Street. The new location is almost three times larger and features many exciting new things. Hazelnut is sophisticated mix of unique home goods and gifts presented in a stylish boutique. 

On Saturday, I spent four hours working the sales floor and register. It was fun getting back in the swing of things. I first worked at Hazelnut in 2008 and stopped when Honey had her stroke in September 2009. I have been a customer ever since and was happy to be asked to come back to help with the opening of the new store location.

The Christmas decoration offerings are endless.

When you are on Magazine Street add Hazelnut to your must-shop list. You will not be disappointed.

Even more Hazelnut to come...
