Here is what we picked from Grandma/Lala's garden. Can you guess what they are? Leave a comment on this blog post and you can win the next Dizzy Broad BLOG CANDY!!:
And here is some more fun stuff: My Mom's group of clown friends! They are called the Sunshine Clowns and have names like Patches, Flowers, Cookie, Spritz, Cuddle Bear and Pearl. We met them at Steve's Place in Newport Richey and what a ball everyone had with them. All the customers and waitstaff were sporting clown "kisses" and stickers. Here they are pictured with some of the restaurant customers:
Look at these RECYCLED beauties!!! These are handcut, hand-crocheted and individually assembled by my talented Mom. All of our relatives have been saving their plastic grocery bags and then sends them to my Mom, who, in turn, cuts them into strips, strings the "yarn" together then painstakingly crochets them into these marvelous purses. We are doing our part towards saving the environment! She also uses vintage material to line the insides - some she has hoarded for 20+ years. Purses range in sizes and many have multiple pockets inside to keep your things organized. And also they zip shut so contents do not fall out! How cool is that?! If you look closely, you may be able to identify the plastic bags! I will start posting these shortly after we get back from vacation.
Happy 4th of July!! Now don't be shy and leave a comment guessing what those orange fruits are and you may be the next blog candy winner! Details later on what you'll win - I'll leave the contest open for 2 weeks to allow time for me to finish my vacation and to catch up with things at home. Happy day!

I am having bigtime withdrawal. You would shake your head at some of the things I have been having to buy!! LOL
Are they sweet tangerines or oranges?
Received your envie yesterday and going to see Jannalies tomorrow and we'll work together.
Hi Gigi!
I'm so glad you're having such a great time! The purses look AMAZING! WOW!
I'm glad to hear that the DH was able to join you all on your vacation. That's great! :)
Let's see... I'll have to guess that it's a mandarin.
Hope you had a happy 4th!
Hi Gigi,
I am glad you are having a great time in Florida.
My guess is clementine's.
I hope I win this time!!!
To Lila, Holly and Heather - great guesses! But they are not correct :-( Think tropical....however, I'll end up doing the random selection again so no need for correct answer. The blog candy is still being put together - something citrusy!
Hope you all are having a wonderful summer so far! Trying to get unpacked and summon extra energy to get things done. Hope to get my act together by this weekend. Hugs to all....-gigi
Hi Gigi!
I really wish i could go to Florida! Its sounds nice and relaxing!
Hope to see u guys over the summer!
I hope I'm in time to enter!!! I may know what they are, and if they are what I think they are, I WANT SOME! Are they Kumkuats? (or how ever you spell it!)
Glad to hear you had a great trip!!! It's always nice to have a break!!
Hi Amanda! Nope, you're not too late! And sorry, not kumquats either (LOL - this is a TOUGH one!). But no worry, as I'll just randomly pick a name from all who leave a comment! - gigi
No right guesses yet?! I guess they are Satsumas.
To Projectr - Nope, not Satsumas either :-))) I should have taken a picture of the tree too as a hint...Keep guessing and think TROPICAL! LOL -gigi
Are they calamondins?
OMG! Ikkinlala guessed them!!! They are called, I think, either Calamansi or Calamundin :-)
Not sure where they are native to but they use them in Filipino cuisine.
Well, that means our winner of the yet-to-be-photographed blog GIVEAWAY is Ikkinlala! But wait, I'll have a second winner for the random pick so there's still a chance to leave ANY COMMENT you want.
Ikkinlala - send me your snail mail so I can get your prize to you! And thanks for playing! -gigi
