kookoo for "coco"

i just wanted to share my love for anything "coco".

 (source)

this all started with one of my regular visits to danny robert's blog (igor + andre), and was looking through the blogger portrait series...  i saw an image of coco rocha (see below), which brought me to her blog... and as i was reading, i became smitten!  so, this is how the coco-commotion started in my head - in a good way, of course!

so here's my list of "coco" loves:

"coco"
from igor + andre's etsy shop
the same image featured in the "blogger portrait series".

coco(a) puffs (my hubby got me into these) - okay, it's not really a "coco" but it sounds like it!

coco(nut) juice - reminds me of my childhood, the fresh ones are the best!

@jocelan thiessen - thank you! you have a pretty amazing blog yourself... i'm a huge fan of your gnomes!

@emmylou - isn't he the funniest? post some photos of your projects when you're done, i'd love to see them... i just bought a 15x18, 14 count aida fabric! i usually wait until the lil man is asleep, so i literally lose sleep for the hobbies i love, that's why they take forever to finish... thanks a bunch!
