We didn't get out of NOMA until after 2pm so we made our way to Magazine Street for lunch/dinner and dessert. After having an okay meal at Jack's, we went by an antique store to browse. You know me, I had to take a few pictures of the various embroidery/cross stitch items on display.
Late 20th century cross stitch sampler
A Oriental themed vest made from needlepoint?!
Cross stitched tea towels
Stumpworked Boston fern with a creepy doll
Victorian motto sampler
Needlepoint and beaded box
Whoever made this..............? It boggles the mind. It must have taken forever!!! A needlepoint base and a beaded floral scene on top?!?!?! Egads.........
After drooling over the antiques, we stopped by Sucre. No trip to New Orleans if complete without a stop by Sucre.
I had their fraise dessert which had a strawberry gelee, vanilla sponge, and mousse! They decorated the plate with strawberry preserves. Delicious.
I got one of their newer flavors of macarons, jasmine tea. I wish I could have bought an entire box full of them, but I exhibited self control for once :)
Can't wait to see what Sucre will offer the next time we are in town!
Until next time ^___^
Good morning, Rachel. After catching up on your blog, I realized a few things...nothing beats visiting a museum, antique stores are so much fun, and any day that ends with a fabulous dessert is a good day! n LOL
ReplyDelete"My" LNS is about four hours away, so I save up for a few months before I head that way. You showed much more restraint that I would have. LOL
Have a wonderful Sunday!
Hi!! Oh, I was tempted, but I knew the linen was going to take all my stitching money away. Lol At least I found linen for my two projects. I think that is what I miss the most about not having a LNS. Looking at fabrics to see what works with a project :)
DeleteJoann's and Hobby Lobby have basic antique white or cream in linen....they only carry Aida in lots of colors. It was refreshing to be in a shop that sold different linen colors.
P.S. Lots of rain today. Hopefully you guys are still getting some nice storms to fill up your reserves!! Have a great week!!
