Ponchatoula

Hello everyone! Please forgive my absence, I was out of town the past few days in Louisiana. I was able to visit a cute little town called Ponchatoula. It means "hair that hangs" (referring to the Spanish moss) in Choctaw. The town is also famous for it's delicious strawberries! There were cute strawberries everywhere!

They served strawberry margaritas here



There were also several antique stores that I was excited to explore, but they turned out to be very disappointing and I left empty handed. There was acute old sewing machine with a crank handle! I wasn't sure if it would work so I didn't gamble taking it home. How cute is it though?


How cute are they?


We also visited family friends with an adorable old home. There were wildflowers and clovers everywhere.

We found a four-leaf clover, how lucky!

Overall it was a long, sad trip (we attended a funeral) but I was able to escape with a few pretty memories.
