anniversary in

Nola I noticed a hip neon symbol sign and ventured to investigate. They were closed and when we looked in the window, we got one of those tag you are it vibes. A year later walking down the same street for similar reasons I saw said sign and we crossed to look in - we saw a T-shirt that I thought we would buy for our teenage son. I noticed a big embroidery machine and a pair of sewing shears left in what appeared to be half action as if someone had a different idea cutting that piece of fabric. A guy met our inquiry about the t-shirt with “it’s not for sale” but pointed to racks further in that held other t-shirts and merchandise such as hats and bags. We picked out one and almost passed out when the bill came due. We were told that what we were buying was one-of-a-kind and that the designer was nearby if we would care to meet him.
