Happy Jazz Festin'

 Though Jazz Fest is not my jam (too hot/too crowded/long lines/portalets), I do like to show my support, and it gives me yet another excuse to decorate the front door.

Years ago, I had Jazz Fest artist, Nan Parati, design a Jazz Fest-inspired sign with Acorn Cottage. I have used it for years. Embellished with gingham ribbons, the sign is the perfect Jazz Fest welcome. We will certainly be festin' from our front porch!

Jazz Festin', y'all!

Jazz Festin' from Home

 I did not attend Jazz Fest in person this year, but I did enough some Jazz Festin' from home. With the addition of the jazz saxophone door hanger and the Nan Parati sign, porch festing is my kind of festival. Good music, no lines, well-appointed bathrooms, and cold libations all help to ensure that I enjoy festival season.

Jazz Festin', y'all!

 Though I did not do Jazz Fest this weekend, I did add the saxophone doorhanger to the front door. The doorhanger was acquired years ago from Melissa Henry of Show Me the Door. I also added the custom Acorn Cottage Jazz Fest-inspired sign by Jazz Fest artist, Nan Parati. The addition of gingham ribbons gives it all a fun and festive finishing touch.

Are you locals Jazz Festin'?

Jazz Fest, y'all!

Acorn Cottage {Festing in Place}

 Last year my sign arrived after the Jazz Fest weekends, so I did not get to display it. I'm glad I located it. Jazz Fest would normally be held this weekend and next.

The sign created by Jazz Fest artist, Nan Parati, is displayed on our front fence. The addition of gingham ribbons represent the Jazz Fest-inspired flags. I am one who much rathers Jazz Fest from the comforts of my front porch. The drinks are cold, and the music on WWOZ is awesome.

I also still love my Jazz Fest-inspired door hanger by Cynthia Kolls.

Festing in Place, y'all!
