But, changed roles, and now the beads seem a bit too much, and I came across a silk paisley scarf in perfect colors, so will wear that with a sort of purple cashmere sweater.<br /> For Tuesday evening, our church does “Fastnacht “ as a pancake supper gathering.<br /> I used to sometimes order a King cake mailed in from Gambino’s for office/ hospital staff, but haven’t done that for a long time. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mardi-gras-or-pancake-day#post-2009704 Mon, 04 Mar 2019 02:12:54 +0000 JAileen 2009704@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My grandmother called it Shrove Tuesday. I don’t remember pancakes, though. We went to one of the minor Mardi Gras parades in New Orleans years ago. We were at a company party which included a crawfish boil, I think. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mardi-gras-or-pancake-day#post-2009623 Sun, 03 Mar 2019 19:33:52 +0000 anchie 2009623@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I figured that must be something similar. Tradition here is to eat Krapfen (donats) on that day, not pancakes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mardi-gras-or-pancake-day#post-2009620 Sun, 03 Mar 2019 19:24:22 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2009620@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p> <div>Bridgie, thanks for the reminder about pancakes--I love little ways of marking special days at home, but rarely think of them until it's too late. Have fun at the party! I'm sure you'll look splendid and hope you have fun and post a picture later. And how great to watch your granddaughter flourish! <br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Anchie, Pancake Tuesday is one way of celebrating Faching/ Carnival /Mardi Gras.</div></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mardi-gras-or-pancake-day#post-2009611 Sun, 03 Mar 2019 19:03:52 +0000 Cardiff girl 2009611@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>We have pancakes but we don’t dress up .sounds like fun,enjoy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mardi-gras-or-pancake-day#post-2009606 Sun, 03 Mar 2019 18:55:13 +0000 rachylou 2009606@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I must say, it’s been awhile since I did up for Mardi Gras. Here too, St Patrick’s is the thing. But I could go for pancakes! Maybe I could rally and make King Cake. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mardi-gras-or-pancake-day#post-2009605 Sun, 03 Mar 2019 18:53:35 +0000 Anonymous 2009605@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>What!?</b> &nbsp;We're supposed to dress up for these events? &nbsp;I was invited to a Mardi Gras Party. &nbsp;I had anticipated wearing blue jeans and a stripped turtleneck. &nbsp;Oh. Oh. &nbsp;Must go and check on a few things ..... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mardi-gras-or-pancake-day#post-2009576 Sun, 03 Mar 2019 16:38:33 +0000 Barbara Diane 2009576@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>First I’ve heard about pancake day.

I tend to spend the most time in the lighting section :)<br /> @kkards they call it Shrove Tuesday, you've probably seen that, or seen pancake supper signs around.<br /> Who can argue with pancakes for dinner :)<br /> And congrats on your granddaughter's medical school and engagement! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mardi-gras-or-pancake-day#post-2009524 Sun, 03 Mar 2019 13:45:08 +0000 kkards 2009524@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>ok. i'll admit that buying a hat at the home depot just sounds wrong to me...its like buying a rake at nordstroms....<br />and i have to admit....i knew what&nbsp;&nbsp;Mardi Gras was, but i had to google Pancake Tuesday....The start of the Easter Season in Western PA is the start of Fish Fry Fridays, every Fire Dept, Catholic school and church have them, and they are incredible fundraisers.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mardi-gras-or-pancake-day#post-2009518 Sun, 03 Mar 2019 13:27:58 +0000 anchie 2009518@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have no clue what Pancake Day is, here we celebrate Fasching on Tuesday. My DD needs to bring costume to school, and parents are invited to watch the parade and encouraged to dress up too, but I will skip that. My DD and me went shopping yesterday for her costume and had a really hard time deciding what to get her. At the end she decided that she will be soldier, she will wear her camo pants and camo jacket and her black combat boots, and only thing that we got yesterday was a camo army hat. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mardi-gras-or-pancake-day#post-2009503 Sun, 03 Mar 2019 11:49:08 +0000 Bijou 2009503@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Many Australians celebrate Pancake Tuesday, but I have not heard of people dressing up an any colours to celebrate it here. St Patrick's Day is always a sea of Green in March with our Irish communities, that seems to be much more of a festival celebrated here than Pancake Tuesday. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mardi-gras-or-pancake-day#post-2009430 Sun, 03 Mar 2019 01:29:55 +0000 bridgie 2009430@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>shevia, thanks for your quick response.&nbsp; You are another fedora hat person too, aren't you?&nbsp; If I get one at Home Depot, I for sure will let you know. lol. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mardi-gras-or-pancake-day#post-2009423 Sun, 03 Mar 2019 01:16:41 +0000 Jaime 2009423@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sounds hectic and fun and congratulations on your granddaughter's medical school graduation and engagement. Can't say I have seen a hat at a Home Depot ever, so please share your find! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mardi-gras-or-pancake-day#post-2009410 Sun, 03 Mar 2019 00:48:59 +0000 bridgie 2009410@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>Do you have your Mardi Gras outfit ready for Tuesday?&nbsp; I am invited to a Pancake Day celebration in the evening.&nbsp; Looking forward to it and pulling things from my helter skelter closet, I have several items in green, purple, (actually orchid, but have read that orchid is a good sub for purple in this case, and I do have some real purple in a print) and gold.</div><div>Of course I went into a tailspin, and have been shopping on-line, mainly Nordies, and have been to local Talbots and Steinmart B&amp;M stores.</div><div>I honestly did not see anything I liked better than what I have here, and I do not need anything new.&nbsp; My New Years resolution was to stop this random shopping madness I live with. Disclaimer--my only grandaughter will be graduating from med school in May, and has recently become engaged. I am looking for clothes for parties and or celebrations connected with her.</div><div><br /></div><div>Back on subject.&nbsp; Some of you may remember that I consider Fedora's my signature, but had nothing in Mardi Gras colors.&nbsp; Lo, and behold---you know how advertisements pop up&nbsp; when you are searching for something elsewhere, A MardiGras Sequin Fedora at Home Depot popped up, so am planning to go to Home Depot tomorrow and check it out.&nbsp; They have a lot of other Mardi Gras things also, masks, jewelry, etc.</div><div>So, my second question, have any of you been to Home Depot and seen this hat?&nbsp; <br /></div><div>This is a good time to say that I really enjoyed all the posts concerning Angie's Challenge. :)<br /></div> </p>
