The Faded Rose

The Faded Rose, a New Orleans inspired restaurant, has closed their west Little Rock location on Bowman Road. Thankfully, they still have their Rebsamen Rd location. It's just more out of the way for me, but I'll go the extra couple miles. I just can't get enough of their creole salad and crawfish etouffee! Ooo wee!

London Calling...

...and there's no answer. Has The Underground Pub closed down?

Merry Merry!

Today I am supporting a favorite local artist (and new friend!) of mine, The Painted Boutique. The owner, Samantha, makes unique door and wall hangers out of burlap and adds a personal inscription. Wall decor is the perfect gift for a newborn baby, a sports fan, a college student, a mother-in-law, etc.  I may even request another for my kitchen (Hey Samantha, how about a birthday cupcake and a tea cup? ;)
 
You can "like" The Painted Boutique on facebook or shop at Etsy.

Tree-in-a-Box

I'm afraid I don't have much about Little Rock today, only another personal photo. And, to boot, it's not even one of those classic holiday images of a real tree coming home on the top of one's car. It's a tree in a box. On sale from Garden Ridge. Oh well. Even though manufactured, it still had the same festive effect. Let the holidays begin =)
