I researched it online, and apparently it's from Cuba and they were all the rage in the 1940's. =) It came from my grandma's house, and she had it from an old maid cousin of her's who was very fashion foward, LOL.<br /><br />~KristinKristinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10592919145644124930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-54546564024940891.post-2481634697583710592010-03-24T18:32:36.964-05:002010-03-24T18:32:36.964-05:00And after that...

We'll meet in Cocoa Beach, which is just south of where we're staying (Cape Canaveral). <br /><br />Kate, we're north of Sebastion and Vero Beach but we drove down there last week. I hope your family has fun on your getaway. The drive is long, there's no getting around it. How about books on CDs? We began listening to "To Kill A Mockingbird" on the way down and will finish it on the way home.<br /><br />CQ, what you describe is too cute to be found at the shop we were at. Maybe it was the idea of those poor alligators being sacrified so some crazy tourist could buy and display their sad little open-jawed head that got to me...<br /><br />Lexy, I'm not sure they make 'em like that ANYWHERE else. This could be my only chance to get my hands on that back scratcher! (Of course in WI we surround ourselves with such novelties as cheesehead hats so I would know tackiness when I see it, right?!)Can do momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10611213405581703181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-54546564024940891.post-90829412728728193712010-03-24T02:47:34.724-05:002010-03-24T02:47:34.724-05:00I may be in desperate need of an alligator claw ba...I may be in desperate need of an alligator claw back scratch.

I just love the goofy little souvenirs. The shells and whatnot are actually quite inexpensive, so it's fun to buy some and get creative. I've always wanted to fill a little corked bottle with sand from Cocoa Beach (where we always stay), put in some colorful shells from the tourist shops, and write "Florida" on the outside in curvy letters. Come to think of it, I do believe that tourist traps sell similar items...Anna Ambrosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13216775168236290404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-54546564024940891.post-20885771806483245882010-03-23T21:56:23.317-05:002010-03-23T21:56:23.317-05:00Oh yes, doesn't everyone have an alligator hea...Oh yes, doesn't everyone have an alligator head on a stick??? <br /><br />And apparently I am coming down to visit you this Friday. Dan's parents talked us into driving (yuck!!!) down to see them for spring break. I will just walk up and down the beach yelling, "Can Do Mom, are you here?" (I will be alone at that point...) But I guess we are going to Vero Beach, Sebastian, maybe we can caravan home... LOL!<br /><br />Glad you had a fun breakfast on the beach, I don't know how you did it. I could maybe pull off a sunset, but breakfast? Not happening. Looks like you are having a great time, it will be hard to pack up and go home, but the weather is getting pretty nice here, 63 degrees tonight at 8:00 PM. Can't beat that!<br /><br />KateAuntie Cakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16360461982253858105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-54546564024940891.post-695413289915303412010-03-23T20:32:00.417-05:002010-03-23T20:32:00.417-05:00Haha... aren't tourist traps funny?
