Laissez les bon temps rouler!

Meeps dons her Mardi Gras beads, thank you Miss Kay, in honor of the Mardi Gras season here in Alabama.  Mobile was the site of the first Carnival celebration in 1703, 15 years before New Orleans got in on the act.  

A Day Late....

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??
