Caitlin Wallace Rowland invites you to revel in the joyous celebration that is Mardi Gras. About her hometown's notorious celebration, she writes that "The heart of it all is to take time to focus on the pure joy and celebration of the present moment. It is probably the bleakest time of the year in many places, the long, cold winter still settled in, but here it is the most beautiful — flowers blooming accentuated by this bright and colorful season of pure joy and celebration." We hope this collection inspires unbridled creativity!
