About Me


I am a busy girl. I am:
the owner and editor of MissMalaprop , an independent shopping blog.
the owner & creator of dismantled designs , original and reconstructed clothing and accessories.
a proud member of the New Orleans Craft Mafia , a group of crafty business-people from NOLA.
the creator and moderator of the Mission101 and CreativeNOLA groups.
Plus I have two jobs.
I created MissMalaprop.com as a place for me to:
* showcase unique and independent products and small businesses
* document my personal mission to live a more environmentally sustainable and socially responsible lifestyle
* talk about what’s really going on in New Orleans, my hometown, and showcase NOLA-based artists and businesses
