As much as I love Valentine’s Day and decorations,
this year I couldn’t wait to get them stashed away…
I wanted brighter decor to chase the winter blues away!
My Valentine’s Day on a Tray...
Transformed to Mardi Gras and Fat Tuesday~
Time to bring out the purple, gold and green!
The heart is gone now and the silver wreath
sports festive Mardi Gras masks
The mantel has been transformed from Valentine’s red,
to Spring yellow, blue and green
The gold bottle vase holds an Steven Singer Emerald Rose
Even though Valentine’s Day is His birthday,
HHjr surprised me with this rose
for a special Valentine gift this year…
Steven Singer is a jeweler who takes real roses
and preserves them with 24 karat gold!
There’s a funny story behind this jeweler,
you can read about it at I Hate Steven Singer here
This Emerald Rose is perfect for Mardi Gras and St. Patrick’s Day!
We’re on the Gulf coast for the holiday weekend,
and Mardi Gras is in full swing down here!
We ran into a boat parade of Mardi Gras pirates
They showered the kids with beads, candy and trinkets
It’s sunny and breezy and a little chilly,
but it’s always good to be in our home away from home…
Unfortunately freezing temps in January
caused our hurricane Sally challenged pool liner
to split in a few places…
All the water just drained right out into the sand 😬
But, the good news is a new liner has been ordered,
there aren’t any supply chain issues for it
and it should be arriving soon and be installed
before Spring Break when we will want to swim
🎭 Laissez les bon temps rouler! 🎉 👑
