Oh my gosh did I love this area off the beaten path of the French Quarter. I had actually gone here to pick up my Conventry Candles from a shop called Witchy Living (http://www.witchyliving.com/). Witchy Living is on 2109 Decatur St. and is a wonderful shop. Please make sure you visit if ever in New Orleans. Cairelle is fantastic and can answer any question you may have regarding her terrific merchandise. She carries a very nice variety of Coventry Candles too. (Which by the way are very cool.) So after picking up my order at Witchy Living I wondered off down the street to check out the area. We went into this fantastic antique store called The Junque Store (I think I am spelling it wrong) but the furniture in the shop was amazing and reasonble. As I looked around the street I started spotting all these amazing shops, graffitti and painted windows.
Wouldn't these make the best tarot cards?
How is this for one amazing painted fence. Fantastic.
I can't wait to show you more of Marigny. I think what I like so much about this area is it feels very real and rather edgy. I hear the crime is worse in this area than in the the French Quarter so maybe I would not want to be here when the sun goes down but I felt safe during the day. I wish I had more time to explore the area. Hopefully next time.
