I Showed You Mine, Now Show Us Yours

House Proud On The Road In Louisiana

Taking "House Proud: Unique Home Design, Louisiana" on the road.


First stop tonight for the annual White Light Nights art hop in Baton Rouge. My lovely host is Claire Major at her fabulous shop Artvark.


There is a fabulous event tonight called "White Light Nights", an art hop that spans the mid city neighborhood. Lots of shopping, art, music, and food, and me signing books at Artvark.

Shopping on White Lights Night in Baton Rouge

White Light Nights in Baton Rouge - all the merchants string white lights on outside on their store fronts - so festive!


Stop in at Studio C in Baton Rouge  - 3786 Government Street, while you are doing White Light Nights - tell the lovely owners that The Vamp sent you

After spending the night in Baton Rouge, off to Alexandria to Masion Pompeii, where Larry Menache is hosting a book signing at his antique shop. You can read more about him in The Talk of the Town. His home is one of the many beautiful homes featured in House Proud.

House Proud in Baton Rouge

Today I am signing my book House Proud in Baton Rouge at a very cool and cute shop, Studio C. Please come and say hello. Two of the homeowners in the book, Lina and James are co-hosting with shop owners Damien and Greg.


My long time friend from New York is also friends with the guys in Baton Rouge, so he came to New Orleans to visit me and go to the signing and see them too. He is a jewelry designer and owns a shop in New York called Christopher 19. The Baton Rouge boys asked Billy to bring some of his lovely jewels to the book party, for a trunk show.

Look how cute Studio C in Baton Rouge is!

William Felder designed these earrings from his shop Christopher 19 and will have some at the trunk show in at Studio C in Baton Rouge - I love the delicate strip of leather combined with the the stone - It's like a little Hermes belt

Gold wire wrapped pearls by William Felder - you can get these at Studio C

Love this pendant with a large pearl wrapped in gold wire - designed by William Felder - Get it at Studio C


If you haven't gotten House Proud yet, please get it today HERE. It makes a great gift too for the upcoming holiday season. Thanks!

And hope to see you in Baton Rouge tonight!!!!

Proud Of House Proud - A Great Giveaway

UPDATE - last chance to enter House Proud Giveaway today!

 Many of you know I have been writing a book that is now out. It is called House Proud Unique Homes of Louisiana, published by Glitterati. In fact many of you have purchased it, and I thank you.

From the book House Proud

  • In fact there are many many people to thank. There are the bloggers and the blog readers. Being a blogger has made everything possible. 
  • There is Deb Shriver who did the foreword, and pointed me to the publisher. 
  • There is my publisher Glitterati.
  • There are the homeowners who let me into their homes and hearts. 
  • There is the city of New Orleans and the state of Louisiana, and all the creatives here who  embrace me and help me all the time. 
  • There is Sara Essex Bradley who is not just a photographer, but that once in a lifetime creative soul mate that I am privileged to have. 
  • There is my family. My sister Cher is my biggest cheerleader and inspiration. 
  • And there is always Alberto. Words cannot describe his dedication to me, and his constant belief in my talent. Ours is a love story, that goes beyond love.
Today is the official launch party of House Proud. I wish everyone of you could be here. One of the homeowners Lindsay Ross, along with Glitterati, arranged for it to be at the fabulous and prestigious Contemporary Arts Center.
