I recently went to an estate sale where I came upon this picture and immediately loved it. Of course, the Praline Lady with her basket on top of her head had everything to do with me buying it. I plan to get it framed as soon as possible.
I can’t find out anything about this photo except the location is Pirates Alley. If anyone has any information please share.
