Aloha!


No, Ocala is not a suburb of Honolulu. I found these delightful characters in a Pier 1 store and thought they might brighten the beginning of your weekend.

You are always welcome, of course, in Ocala!

    Cool - suddenly I'm craving a fruity drink out of a coconut with a little umbrella!

    I don't know exactly what happened here, the comment posted itself before I clicked... The end of course is "two weeks"!

    Goodness, you really can find anything and everything at Pier 1! I'm not sure if I find those masks welcoming or scary though ;)

    Have a wonderful weekend, Jacob!

    Scary, but cute. If they were outside a doctor's office, I'd run.

    Aloha. That reminds me, I used to go to Pier one all time but suddenly stoped about 20yrs ago. There's one down the street I think I'll check it out. Those welcome charactors are great.

    What a great shot Jacob! I would not have been able to refrain from taking a picture of these two characters either.

    In Ocala? They are wonderful and a great find so far from their homeland. (I do hope you gave at least one of them a new home with you guys? Both of them?)

    How cool these are! This is the kind of decor I appreciate in someone else's home or in a place like Pier 1. ;-)

    I agree, EG - that's why we left them at Pier 1...actually, if I had a beach condo, I might put them up there...
