Giving Thanks for ... {Simon of New Orleans}

Yet another "thumbs-up" for Hazelnut, one of my favorite shops on Magazine Street. 

This evening, Yvonne Spear Perret, author of Simon of New Orleans, and Simon (pronounced sih-MOH) Hardeveld himself were signing copies of Yvonne's newest coffee table book. It was really a treat to meet Simon and hear his French accent.

If you are a New Orleanian or visitor to New Orleans, you've seen the prevalence of his signs around town. His unique style is easily recognizable. His signs are bright, colorful, and cheerful.

One of Simon's most requested sayings, "Be Nice or Leave" is one of my favorites.

You can get more copies of Simon of New Orleans at Hazelnut. If you are out of town, Hazelnutters are happy to ship. The book is perfect for anyone "who knows what it means to miss New Orleans."

I still cannot believe that with all the iconic New Orleans products I own, I do not have a Simon piece. I may have to add one to my life very soon.

You can order your copy of Simon of New Orleans, HERE.
