Nova Scotia

we’ll get to this

About me:
Welcome! My name is Laura Stella Sitges, and I am a native New Orleanian, the last of an old New Orleans family that has been in French and Spanish Louisiana since 1761, a family as interesting as the city that made us. I am a historian, artist, anthropologist, renovator of historic architecture, and writer, as well as a pianist and a chef, all of which is rooted in the unique culture of New Orleans.

About the blog:
I have long been writing about my magical grandmother, who could flirt with a stick of furniture. But Hurricane Katrina made me realize that, as an only child of an only child of an only child, with no children of my own, the remarkable collection of old family documents, photos, heirlooms and stories that has come down to me will get washed away like so many New Orleans families' memories did, if I don't document them.
So as I sense myself slowing down, I pass them along to you... with affection.

Yes, you're in the right place. Little has changed beside the name, which is no longer applicable. DIYFASP is phasing out its interaction with the public's found-art projects to focus solely on the family's story and the artistic expression that aids in the telling of it.
