Beads, Elaborate Costumes, Noise Makers, Ladders, Horns, Whistles, Rolling Carts, Lawn Chairs, Wigs, Crowds, Floats, and Crowns….
Mardi Gras is one of my favorite times of year. I love the energy, the colors, and any excuse to dress ridiculously and artistically. π
I’m a people watcher and I love to observe….and occasionally interact. Mardi Gras in Louisiana gives plenty of opportunity to do both!!
After Renada + Justin’s Mardi Gras weekend wedding, I spend my time since enjoying the South. On Saturday,Β Annika had her good friends from Houston come in….we ate Tappas at Pamplonas and caught the tail end of the night parade. Last night, Brad and I walked Johnston street amongst thousands of parade-goers, listening to the shouting, and watching the jumping, waving, and tossing of children…all for a “good” bead. Priceless. πΒ If you’re not from here, then it’s definitely worth the trip to see.
I’ll spend the rest of the today listening to Brad and his buddies play on the stage we spent Friday night making signs for….but not until I wish you all a Happy and Safe Mardi Gras π
Live Simply, Love Freely,
Catherine
