Throw Me Somethin' {Mardi Gras: First Weekend}

I always love the first weekend of Mardi Gras as it is much quieter and less hectic for us. From watching the parades with friends and neighbors to over drinking and overeating, the first weekend of parading ended with magnificent weather.

As the busy week approaches, I will be certain to get a couple nights of rest.

First Weekend. Check!

Throw Me Somethin' {Mardi Gras: Serving Pieces}

I fell in LOVE with these Mardi Gras themed serving pieces (and ornaments) available at a Thibodaux fave, Chic Chateau. I am a huge instagram shopper these days.

It is often hard to discover Mardi Gras items that are not totally tacky and gaudy, but this set of serveware is classic. I adore the neutral color and the gold rim. These staple pieces are easy to mix and match and add to an existing collection. All are reasonably priced under $100.
Check them out:

Throw Me Somethin' {Mardi Gras: Dining Room}

Of course, the dining room also features touches of the Carnival season. On the table is an wonderful crown vase filled with beads surrounded by a papier mache' king cake custom made by local artist Gwen Markovich of Dats Awtsy.

I placed another papier mache' oval king cake on the buffet topped with an oyster bowl filled with various beads in purple, green, and gold.

My collection of Lorraine Gendron wooden figures is on the drop leaf table. I adore her creations and have collected these for years since moving back to NOLA.

More beads are located on the shelves.

Throw Me Somethin' {Mardi Gras: Sunroom}

Come on into the sunroom for some Mardi Gras cheer. I guess you could say that the sunroom is the area of the house where most of my Mardi Gras collectibles can be found. From my collection of Muses shoes, Nyx purses, pillows, feathers, and more, my Carnival paraphernalia continues to grow each and every year. Take a look at the Mardi Gras in the sunroom this year (such a fun space to decorate).
