Kiss My Gumbo

Whether you are from Louisiana or not, you will find something on this list that is unique and in good taste! Please check back as I will continue to update it and also make this a static page on the sidebar. Many of these are from businesses in St. Tammany and New Orleans and support local merchants and crafters or have Louisiana ties. Remember, I am not paid for endorsing these products, but most have got my money at some point or may in the future:) Please tell them Greta “Kiss My Gumbo” sent you. I didn’t list food and book stuff – that stuff is a no-brainer.

A pendant from John Doherty Iron and Design. I LOVE my fleur de lis pendant!
