Who Dat? We Dat! (or Julie Neill Designs Lights the Way to the Superbowl)

As everyone knows, the city of New Orleans is in the deepest throes of the Saints going to the Superbowl! There is nowhere that this is more true than at Julie Neill Designs! We can barely contain ourselves, wearing our black and gold garb, sporting our Who Dat t-shirts, and talking about nothing else. This morning we took time before going to the studio to have a "WhoDat" breakfast at Slim Goodies, a wonderful diner down the street from our shop, which has been painted with the
Black and Gold and emblazoned with "Go Saints"  painted on their front window.

Caught up as we are in the Saints excitement, we couldn't help but coming up with a couple of chandeliers dedicated to our team! We're gonna light their way to winning the Superbowl!

The first one we made was all New Orleans, and all out! It has a crown of fleur de lis, and a heaping of Saints beads with the black and  gold fleur de lis as well as some pearls and crystal  strands thrown in.

We created it in true Who Dat style, with nothing held back and an exuberant appreciation for the black and gold, it's all -out New Orleans fun.

Of course we had to hang it in the window of the shop...Because we're lighting up the way to a big win for our Saints!!

So many of our neighbors have put out the Black and Gold in support of our team.

I'm "wearing" the next chandelier we came up with. It's black crystal with gilded fleur de lis and gold crystals and some Saints fleur de lis thrown in for fun.

It seems that all we can do in New Orleans this week is eat,

This photo from nola.com shows that Who Dat's know how to party New Orleans Style.

We will be closed on Monday as a recovery day because partying will be epic! I hear many businesses will do the same.
