Happy Mardi Gras.

A traditional toast to REX with friends after the Mardi Gras parade! Lying near the Ojen used in the toast is a friend’s beautiful phone case she got from my collection to text those incredible photos of Fat Tuesday and the ball that she'll send to freinds and family.

Big trees, little trees, all get beaded during carnival. It is a New Orleans tradition and a delightful sight to many.

Send photos to loved ones and text to friends you're meeting on the neutral ground ever so fashionably! I'm using the carnival case pictured because it brings joy every time I look at it....

This is a lovely way to say "Be My Valentine" and makes for a lovely keepsake. Let that someone special know how much you care with written words of love that can be treasured forever.

A good read needs a beautiful bookmark. The Mardi Gras bookmark collection on my website makes sweet little gifts during carnival season too.

Such a fun way to celebrate carnival. A nice selection of Mardi Gras style phone cases are available at theRDBcollection using art from my portfolio. Let the good times roll with one of these colorful and striking phone cases.

It's carnival season. Decorations are going up everywhere.
