Throw Me Sometin’ Mister & Happy Mardi Gras {2013}!

 

Happy Mardi Gras, friends & followers! Today is Carnival in our neck of the woods, one more day of parades, eating, and drinking (but not so much).

Hail Rex!

Parade riders really know me. Just check out the selection of beads and things that were thrown from floats or “walking krewes”. I adore my fave mollusk.

Oyster Shell beads… Thanks BFF Sal.
