We are relaxing at the beach house this weekend,
Mardi Gras celebrations are in full swing!
Friday night one of my friends was in a Mardi Gras parade
in nearby Fairhope AL
and the Orange Beach Mystics of Pleasure Mardi Gras parade
was last night with more parades on Tuesday
in both Gulf Shores and Orange Beach~
Today I am re-sharing a Mardi Gras tablescape
so you can have some virtual Mardi Gras fun!
February on the coast means
Everything is covered in purple, gold and green!
Mardi Gras Madness, as the locals know
Means bring out the decorations, put on a show!
Crazy, tacky and over the top
It’s fabulous fun and goes on non stop!
The local favorite way to celebrate
Is to get dressed up and eat King Cake!
Music, masks, beads and moon pies
Be ready to catch something when the parade goes by!
Purple means Justice and Gold means Power
Green stands for faith, and there will be bead showers!
The masks make for mystery
Mardi Gras has a fascinating history!
Read about it here
Laissez le bon temps rouler!
