About Sanctified Folk

Beginning in October 2009, Sanctified Folk will offer limited edition, made-by-hand pieces for the home, each one inspired by the rites and celebrations that are part of life in the American South - from holy days and holidays to festivals to Sunday dinners.

Owner and designer Shawn Vantree was born and raised in Virginia and has deep family roots in Louisiana where she has lived since 2001. Sanctified Folk is based in New Orleans, Louisiana.

19th New Orleans Film Festival







The 19th New Orleans Film Festival begins October 10th and I can hardly wait. Three films on my "must see" list are Toot Blues (a feature length documentary about the Music Maker Relief Foundation and the blues artists it supports), The Sweet Lady with the Nasty Voice (about rock and roll pioneer Wanda Jackson), and Hori Smoku Sailor Jerry (a documentary about one of my favorite tattoo artists).
