Clutter My World: Clutter My World in New Orleans...one more time!

Hi everyone! Well, I'm about to head down to New Orleans for the last time to visit a student! My daughter, Kelly, is receiving her Master's Degree in Environmental Biology on Friday at Tulane. She is a "Katrina" kid...she was a freshman the year Katrina hit and she stuck it out! She was one of the many who went back and helped Tulane survive the devastation of a major hurricane...and not only did she happily stick it out for 4 years as an undergrad, she decided to get her Master's there as well. She will soon be heading off to Las Vegas to work for the Bureau of Land Management as a Project Manager....a job that she got from being nominated and chosen as a Presidential Management Fellow. Needless to say, we are very proud of her!

Back to New Orleans...I can't wait to be back! I love visiting that city...there is a certain joie de vivre that the people of New Orleans have. I fear it's going to be a weekend of eating...we are already planning our stops at Cafe du Monde, Gallatoire's, Commander's Palace, the levee for crawfish and daiquiris, and I'm sure a few other eating spots in between. I will have to pace myself because the last time I went, I came back 5 lbs. heavier and that was after running a half marathon!! Aside from the wonderful food...New Orleans has STYLE! From the artists that rim Jackson Square to the people who walk the French Quarter to the stately mansions that are in the Garden District...yes, New Orleans has STYLE.

And speaking of STYLE...one of our many wonderful customers is a style consultant...for your closet, your home, your life! Her name is Liz Finkelstein and her company is "mile high style."

I know that Liz has style because at least 3 months ago, she purchased from Clutter an old Victorian style settee/sofa that really needed an updated look. Go on to Liz's website:

www.milehighstyle.com and scroll through her pictures...you will come to one of a Victorian settee that has been refinished and reupholstered and it looks fabulous! That's from Clutter! Thanks to the style that Liz has, it is now a gem!

Speaking of gems....we have some great furniture and home decor in the store right now. Come on in and take a look!
