Message in a bottle … er, purse

For Carnival revelers, trinkets are treasure. But where does all that booty end up?

The Krewe of Nyx decided to find out. Many of the krewe’s trademark hand-decorated purses, tossed to revelers on Wednesday night, carried this message inside:

Hail Goddess Nyx! Please share with us where this purse found a home, on Facebook or Twitter @Nyxpursetracker.

A number of lucky catchers have responded, with photos of purses flung, literally, far and wide. We’ve posted a sampling below; for more go to Nyx Purse Tracker.
