Oh you beaut you know how much I love your shopping hauls
The pictures from NOLA are lovely, such a nice keepsake to remind you of the place.
You know I love a stripy TH jumper too, I'm sure I will be buying at least one this year
The Ralph bargains are fab too, will make sure to look in the kids section this year as I totally forgot last year!
Another great haul

Some very nice shopping and some great bargains and as you say quite restrained. I am feeling inspired for August! Although the time of year you went might have contributed perhaps to what was on offer do you think?

Ah bless you We do like our shopping
We did say before we went that we would only buy something " if its a bit different" so how we ended up with trainers, a stripey top , lacoste Tees and a handbag is anyones guess .. cos we've never bought those before have we

The RL stuff was a good buy with the extra discount - it means I can put a few pieces by for their birthdays as well - although even they are reaching the limit of long sleeve tops I think

Hope you have a great haul when you go

We wondered if the Spring Break season meant the sports wear was a lot cheaper than previous trips - but then we have been late August and the early Labor Day sales were incredibly good value. Hope you get a good haul !

Love looking at local art when we travel, it’s so often overpriced in tourist galleries that great to pick up a proper bargain, direct from the artist I assume. Never bought anything like that in the US but now you have me thinking...

I hadn’t heard of the New Orleans werewolf before but those prints are so cute! I’m off to Google and learn more about it

Its a first for us too, it was a great experience, so nice to chat to the artist - and yes we bought the two prints you can see hanging on the railing

Its a sad story about a dog called Tiffany , the werewolf bit is kind of an add on. I think George Rodrigue is the name of the artist
