Ruby slippers

Apparently Dorothy clicked her heels and was beamed up (down?) from Oz to New Orleans for the Muses parade.  And thanks to Sista DonnaLynn and her police partner Jimmy, one of the ruby slippers has made its way to Austin via Shreveport.  I asked DonnaLynn how she managed to obtain one of the coveted high heels.  (Emma: your bracelet of pink high heels is from the Muses parade).  She said krewe members are partial to police officers, and Jimmy's only job for the evening was to get a krewe member to hand a high heel down to him from one of the floats for me.  Merci beaucoups and great teamwork!

I am musing about the most appropriate place in the house to display this prize.  And the golden coconut DonnaLynn brought me from the Zulu parade a few years ago. I love, love, love Mardi Gras.
