FFF - March - Supporting the Arts

Happy Friday!  Here's my Fun For Friday For March.

In Key West, FL I saw:

A painters stand on the beach

A street artist.  He made everything out of paper.  For $1.00 I got to see him turn the TV on and move his slice of paper pizza.

Chewbacca - just chillin' (ha ha in a fur costume) and having a drink from a sippy cup.
   

A fun bar where patrons sign dollar bills and tack them up.  How cool that no one takes them - hooray for fun people in Key West.  Nearly every bar has live music doing covers of Jimmy Buffet and Beach Boys :)

We visited Ernest's Home and the 6 toed Cats. Where I got this awesome pressed penny.  Is this art?  I think so.

Art I bought to take home:  A Christmas Ornament with real shells.

A sweet wren house I bought from the artist on the street.  I plan to hang this soon, maybe after the snow storm expected for today -

While missing coco on the cruise, I got this cute towel of a dog :)

My son, Andrew gave my husband (the coffee king) a Dunkin' gift card.  Can you believe his generosity!?!

Happy Spring - if you are lucky enough to be having one already!

So much fun here!
What is coming out of the street artist's TV?
If you could have "dunked" your towel dog in some of that coffee you would have had a more real-looking (maybe not) reminder of Coco. : )

Not so spring-like here... What fun pictures! I love the bird house :0)

Debra said...

Defiently a Fun Friday post. Key West a pretty unique place for all kinds of fun. It was interesting going to E. Hemmingway's place and seeing the 6 toed cats too.

Key West has unusual sights for sure. I have only been once and enjoyed all the street goings on kind of stuff.

Nobody mentioned the pressed penny! I also collect them and think they are a hoot. Sorry about the snow, hope it disappears fast.
