A Southern Life

Carnival Dinner

It’s always fun to set a table for Carnival. Lots of beads, a couple of masks, napkins folded as fleur de lis, all set the china and crystal aglow.

Come have a seat at the table and see what fun we can have . . .

I love the fleur de lis napkin fold. Fleur de lis are so closely associated with Louisiana.

Masks aren’t required for this dinner, but if you need one, here are a couple . . .

Gold is the theme here from the tablecloth to the chargers and plates, the rims on the crystal and the flatware. Lots of purple and green complete the setting with the traditional Carnival colors.

    May I simply just say what a relief to discover someone that truly understands what they’re discussing on the internet. You actually know how to bring an issue to light and make it important. More and more people need to read this and understand this side of your story. I was surprised you are not more popular since you surely possess the gift.

    Hey I know this is off topic but I was wondering if you knew of any widgets I could add to my blog that automatically tweet my newest twitter updates. I’ve been looking for a plug-in like this for quite some time and was hoping maybe you would have some experience with something like this. Please let me know if you run into anything. I truly enjoy reading your blog and I look forward to your new updates.

    Right now it looks like Movable Type is the best blogging platform out there right now. (from what I’ve read) Is that what you’re using on your blog?
