Laissez les bon temps rouler…the Secretary {Mardi Gras 2014}

 

In the parlor, one of my favorite pieces of furniture is the secretary. It too is decorated with a few Mardi Gras treasures.

Errol Laborde’s newest book, Mardi Gras: Chronicles of the New Orleans Mardi Gras, is placed to allow visitors and guests insight on the history of Mardi Gras.

Mini art by Jax, a local artist, features the flambeaux, the carriers of light. Early on, flambeaux carriers walked with most parades to provide light. Some parades today still use flambeaux carriers.

I love to decorate the secretary seasonal. Located in the entry parlor, the secretary sets a welcoming tone.
