Bouncing Baby Coconut

When last we saw the coconut, it had arrived at my husband's office, via the United States Postal Service, bedecked in a fetching red hat, just in time for the Christmas holiday. I asked for suggestions as to the coconut's next incarnation, and to my great delight, the lovely and talented Very Mary* volunteered: "Do you trust me enough to send the coconut here and allow me to have a crack at it? I'd be honored to decorate it and then send it on for you..." I tell you, I swooned when she left that comment.

We emailed back and forth, I mailed the coconut off to her, and she discovered the inner infant in the well-traveled nut.

Last week, Very Mary gently wrapped the new baby and mailed it off to my new nephew, confounding his parents and thrilling his aunts.

A big welcome to the little baby, and a huge round of applause for Very Mary!

* She has a blog and not one, but two etsy shops!

Happy to be of assistance in the confounding and thrilling departments. Honestly, I kinda miss the little fella!
 
There's that darned coconut again! AHHH! Cute one.
 
"Have a crack at it."

 
That is stinkin' cute. Especially the theme-coordinated pacifier!
 
Good call--she rocked it!
 
Very adorable!!! That sounds like such a fun and hilarious tradition that you have there.
 
this whole idea is so freakin cute
 
THIS is what makes our bloggie world so delicious.
Mary, I'm off to check out your blog. I just KNOW I won't be disappointed.
 
A traveling newborn coconut. Cuter than cute. I should get lots of produce and let my kids dress them up...better than baby dolls!
 
Awesome. Perhaps the best part? Coconuts sleep through the night at birth.
 
I love the travels of the coconut, this one was no disappointment! How adorable.
 
i love the coconut
 

I'll have to go check out Mary's blog, too.
 
way to go, mary!
 
That is just so cool!!!
