In the parlor, one of my favorite pieces of furniture is the secretary. It too is decorated with a few Mardi Gras treasures.
On the shelf, a Lorraine Gendron Zulu warrior near a HomArt golden crown help to create a seasonal vignette.
Errol Laborde’s newest book, Mardi Gras: Chronicles of the New Orleans Mardi Gras, is placed to allow visitors and guests insight on the history of Mardi Gras.
Mini art by Jax, a local artist, features the flambeaux, the carriers of light. Early on, flambeaux carriers walked with most parades to provide light. Some parades today still use flambeaux carriers.
A Mardi Gras New Orleans toile frame holds a special photo of J, Honey, and I at a past parade.
I love to decorate the secretary seasonal. Located in the entry parlor, the secretary sets a welcoming tone.
