Jean Lafitte's Treasures Discovered? A reason for my Texas friends to cross the border!
Unique, "one of a kind", an expression of creativity is sometimes hard to find.  Those who live in larger cities might be surprised to  find treasures that the Lake Charles area offers.
Recently, I located a treasure and an expression of Southwest Louisiana culture and history. 
When you visit Eighty-One located at 3708 Maplewood Drive, Sulphur, Louisiana, you temporarily travel back into yesteryear via vignettes scattered throughout the shop of stories written by Pierre on Cajun lifestyle and history.
Those familiar with the legend of Contraband Bayou and the basis of Contraband Days might think that the owner of Eighty-One, Pierre Fontentot, had discovered a significant portion of the famous pirate's "stash." 
I went into this shop for the first time in search of 2 vanities. Specifically, I was in search of an antique into which I could drop a basin.  
Creativity (just as the sign posted in front proclaims) abounds within the walls of Eighty-one.  I did not find my antique, but together we found wonderful parts and designed my vanities that day.
I asked Pierre how he came to name his antique shop eighty-one as I felt sure there was an interesting story to be heard. 
You will learn to appreciate the warm, friendly smile ... more
