What is Photo Friday?

• Post a travel photo on your site. It can be about any topic, as long as it is G-rated.
• The focus of the post should be on your photo.
• You don't need to be a professional photographer (I'm not), but do showcase your best work, and make it big enough to see well!
• It's nice to include a few sentences about the photo, but it is not required.
• Link back here so that your readers can see all the other great Photo Friday posts.

     I assume that these now adorn your mantel?

     I am imagining look on my children's faces if we send one of these home to them when we go to Hawaii in a few weeks. They would think it is hilarious!

     Extremely Surprising!
     I think this is just an adorable idea,
     forget how much it will weigh, just mail it if you want to cheer-up someone. :)

     Very fun! Although I wonder if the local post office agrees. :-)

     I got one of those in the 50's when I was a kid and my uncle who is a dentist was based in Hawaii while in the service. I still remember it!! ;)

     We are off to Hawaii next week so very excited since it is my first time!

     What fun! Reminds me a bit of the coco-de-mer of the Seychelles. They're not painted, but certainly eye-catching.

      I think the closest thing I've seen to these around here was the "postcard" box of dried cherries (billed as an "edible postcard") that I addressed and sent home from the Traverse City area :)

      I saw these many times on Maui last week, but resisted the temptation to buy. Thanks for the quick memory! :)

      If you are planning to surprise your recipient then that hand painted coconut is a great idea for a mail. I have not seen anything like it yet but it seems in the picture a very unique way of sending a greeting from a dear friend or family. This is something to look forward to in Hawaii.
