Laissez les Bons Temps Rouler

by Jeanne from wonderdiva

Do you need an excuse to eat, drink and let the good times roll this month? Throw a Mardi Gras party.  Here's some music to get you in the mood!



You may not be able to play like Beau Jocque, but you could have a ton of fun trying to squeeze out a few Cajun and Zydeo tunes on a vintage accordian.

Beads.  If you don't want to buy the cheap beads that get tossed around in New Orleans, layer on some colorful vintage beads that will look great all year round.

Gobble down some gumbo and red beans and rice served in beautiful vintage pots.
