FAT Tuesday!

Happy Mardi Gras!

(Is that what you say "happy mardi gras" or should it be "merry mardi gras"?)

Going to Mardi Gras in New Orleans is on my bucket list. We went to New Orleans once on our honeymoon, it was fascinating! We were only there for about 2 days, so we didn't get to see much. Except, I did use my guide book and took my wonderful husband on a self-guided walking tour around the French Quarter. Hard to believe that was almost seven years ago..... Anyway, I plan on going back and partying like a true Hebert....


Well, I had full intentions of making a King Cake and doing a whole tutorial but time got away from me. But I couldn't not make something for Fat Tuesday! Soooo, I made delicious chocolate/chocolate cupcakes and threw some purple, green, and yellow sprinkles on them! Mardi Gras-ish enough for me!

The cupcakes pictured above are served on the Willow House Covington Serving Tray. Available on my Willow House site now. When I don't have cupcakes piled up on it, I keep it on my buffet by my dining room table with a vase filled with wine corks on it. It's a beautiful, versatile piece!

Have a wonderful Tuesday!!

My Willow House Adventure

I was perusing Pinterest a couple months ago (before my work blocked the site, which I am sure had nothing to do with me...). I came across these large glass vases.

I clicked on the picture to find them, because I haaave to get them. I end up on the Willow House store site. Curiosity set in and I wanted to know what Willow House was. Willow House was Southern Living at Home.

Interesting....

How do I host a party? Because I want those vases, but I could get them for a host discount or even free. I searched my zip code and the closest consultant was in the state of Washington...what?!

Anyway, after thinking about the opportunity of bringing this Simply Good Design to Alaska and the possibility of bringing in extra income, I signed up!

I love all the designs of Willow House and more recently added the jewelry line by Sara Blaine! Please check out my site, sign up for the monthly newsletter, and let me know if you would like to host a party (it is all about those host credits!)!!
