Purple Vintage Space Princess photo was selected and is now in the Schmaps New Orleans Guide

Hello dearest PVSPians! Wishing you a fantastic Saturday:) I’m pleased to announce that my photograph of Jimmy Buffet’s Margaritaville that I took when I was in New Orleans in February was selected to be in the newest edition of Schmaps New Orleans Guide. They found me through Flickr. I honestly never even uploaded pictures onto my flickr thinking that ANY of my photos would be used for something. I mainly use my account as storage and to organize my photos for my online boutique. I’m certainly pleased that I posted my travel pictures now
