Mardi Gras Mini Banners {2013}

 

Over the weekend, J & I also browsed at Magazine Street fave, The Shops at 2011.

I found these great mini banners on long, narrow sticks. One banner reads, “Nouvelle Orleans” and the other “NOLA”. I just knew they would be a perfect addition to my jesters and wooden creations by Lorraine Gendron.

The first mini banner, “Nouvelle Orleans”, I added to the hand of the jester on my stair parlor table. I love how it is written in calligraphy (so classic).

The second banner, “NOLA”, I added to the wooden jester on the lower mantle in the parlor. All I had to do was take an ice pick, puncture a small hole in the hand of the jester, and insert the banner’s stick. It fits perfectly.

These are fun and add a touch of New Orleans to the Mardi Gras decor.

Mini Banners with a NOLA touch, y’all!

  1. Those are great! So much fun seeing your decorations. I was telling my hubby about them and he was looking at me fearfully to make sure I wasn't planning on decorating the entire house for Mardi Gras! Lol ;)
