and a
Moon Pie short! I was a little under the weather this week and let Fat Tuesday get away from me. I had these fabulous masks from Dinah Toro's
Charlotte Woodson Antiques in Mt. Brook, so we'll just celebrate Mardi Gras right here today. By the way, did you know that
Mobile, Alabama has the oldest MardiGras carnival celebration in the country??

Beautiful shot. Hope you're feeling all better soon.
Wonderful on this rainy Ash Wednesday!
I hope you are feeling much better.
Gorgeous shot Virginia! Beautiful masks. I hope you feel better soon. And, yes I did. My dad lives in Mobile and I did celebrate couple of Mardi Gras there.
Love these beauties, Virginia! Mardi Gras was beautiful in Mobile... Luis, I hope you will come back!

Well...Who'd a thunk Alabama had the first Mardi Gras celebration in the country!!! I'm still astounded (saw that bit of news on Genie's blog yesterday too and was totally flummoxed!!!) Just how did New Orleans get all the credit???
Hope you're feeling better Ms V!!! And LOVE the masks!!!
I didn't know about Mobile and Mardi Gras, but these little known facts no longer surprise me. As a born and bred Bostonian and former New Yorker, I discovered that Savannah's St. Patrick Day Parade is larger than New York or Boston's - after I moved to Georgia. Love the masks. Do you have a ball gown to match any of them? Hope you're feeling better.
Let's test your knowledge (and my ignorance) of MardiGras. Where did the name fat Tuesday come from??
Bon Temps, Cheri!
