Carsters - Coasters for your car!

Do you like to "drink" and drive? Of course, I'm not talking alcoholic drinks! But, I am willing to bet that the average American, driver or passenger, has some type of drink in the car with them most of the time. Why else would the car manufactures install cup holders throughout the vehicle?

Now for the big question.... do you get those annoying, messy drips in your cup holder?  Of course you do! Well, here's the solution... the Carster!

Carsters are coasters for your cup holders! They are absorbent stoneware coasters that soak up the annoying, messy drips from drinks in your cup holders.  Carsters are versatile and functional, designed to fit most cup holders in cars, trucks, SUV's, baby strollers and even golf carts.

So go ahead, get some carsters for all of your vehicle's cup holder and enjoy your drink while you drive!

A Toast to Mardi Gras

Happy Mardi Gras!! As the Carnival Season enters that last big weekend before Mardi Gras Day or "Fat Tuesday" many traditions will be repeated just as they have in years gone past. One of the most important traditons will of course be "the toast." Everyone from Rex, King of Carnival" to the Mayor of New Orleans will be toasting the Carnival Season.

Looking to get in on some Mardi Gras toasting yourself? Then, check out these beautiful goblets.
What a better way to celebrate Mardi Gras than with a toast with one of these elegent hand blown glasses?

These goblets come in the traditional Mardi Gras colors of purple, green and gold. The elegant Fleur de lis on each of the glasses is sand etched by hand in Southeast Louisiana.

Here's a toast from us: "Wishing you all a safe and Happy Mardi Gras. Cheers!"


Way Down in the Southern Louisiana Bayous

Are you ready for some more Swamp People? Tonight the History Channel will air the opening episode of Swamp People Season 3. According to the previews, it looks as though it will be an exciting one! This season's swamp hunters, both men and women, will have more on the line than ever before.

Even though the alligator hunters of the southern Louisiana bayous make alligator hunting look easy, it is not a sport for the everyday Joe.

Not to worry! If you dream of catching your very own alligator but don't want to go down into the muddy swamp risky life or limb, then I have the gators for you!

Meet two alligators that are easy to capture....

Boudreaux

and Thibodeaux!

Boudreaux and Thibodeaux are the creations of a talented artist in Southeast Louisiana.  Both are made from 100% recycled beer glass, stone and roof shingles, which makes them eco friendly as well as cute! They are perfectly suitable for indoor or outdoor use and come in two sizes to meet your wall decor needs. Boudreaux measures in at a whopping 17.5" in length and Thibodeaux is a sizable catch of 10" in length.

Who Dat? Grilling

We had a great time grilling up some good eats Saturday in preparation for the New Orleans Saints against the Detroit Lions NFC Wild Card Playoff Game. Using our Fleur De Lis and Who Dat? Grill Toppers, we grilled just about every meat imaginable (except Lion)!

Grill Toppers are easy to use. Just set them on your grill rack and then place the meat of your choice directly on top of the logo, allowing the logo to sear on to your meat! You can turn ordinary grilled meats into exciting works of art!

Here's some of what we enjoyed before the game!

And, of course the New Orleans Saints did not let us down. They beat the Detroit Lions 45 - 28. Securing them one step closer to Super Bowl XLVI!!
