Unlike my usual MO of printing words by hand, I used a word stamp, then back stitched it with a single strand of cotton floss. Unsure about how the open weave of the linen would hold the stitches, I ended up pleasantly surprised. So I'm now ready to move on with the project for which this was but a trial. As for the word stamp that I grabbed out of the box? I guess it turned out to be the perfect word for today ...

| Seen on the way to pick up our weekly CSA veggies |
P.S. Recommendations on hotels, restaurants, and must-not-miss sights in New Orleans would be greatly appreciated since this will be a first-time visit for us.
