When I was a little girl (on the southshore) my friends and I would often play “tag”… recently I found out about a whole new kind of “tagging“.

I received a noticed that I had been “tagged” in a photo on FaceBook. Upon opening the image it was (not me) but the beautiful and talented Amanda Shaw. At first I thought it was a mistake but still loved the picture of Amanda.

I was surprised when ”Anne Dale Jeweller” appeared in text over the peace sign earring she was wearing – “TAGGED”

I first meet the extraordinary Amanda Shaw shortly after hurricane Katrina when she was featured in a video promoting my New Orleans Collection, I am a huge fan every since.

Over the years Amanda has stopped by the shop to visit and see what’s new and hip that might fit her unique image… like the “peace symbol” earrings.

Amanda is leading a new generation of New Orleans superstars artist… carrying on the regions great tradition of music. You can see Amanda Shaw this weekend at the Gretna Heritage Festival.

So thanks for the “tagging me” Amanda… also I like to ”tag“ Greg Livaudais Photography for taking such a great shot (jewelry is very difficult to photograph) especially during a live performance!

You can see Amanda sporting her “PEACE” earrings from Anne Dale Jeweller in the picture above.

* By the way if you have not seen IMAX’s Hurricane on the Bayou it is a must see staring Amanda Shaw and Tab Benoit.
