Mardi Gras Tablescape

Mardi Gras is just around the corner. Time to set the table to celebrate "Fat Tuesday" - the last night of eating hearty before Lent.

Nothing subtle about this table....assorted colored metallic-like finished plates, gold flatware, teal crackle glassware

The napkin ring is actually a Mardi Gras ornament that we found at Pier 1 several years ago
