Day 17: Fruit Shaped Like a Bouquet

I would like to thank those of you who have sent me pink items that you've seen in your own lives.  I am really getting a kick out of a) seeing the crazy stuff you are finding and b) knowing that people are actually reading this blog.  I'm going to try to blog about a few of them, but a few quick mentions:  "Wine for a Cure" from Matt, "Mints for a Cure" from Jeanne, pink hair extensions from Nicole (and someone else, just can't remember who!), a pink ladybug nightlight dealy from Rach and MUCH more!

Please don't hesitate to send me things you see!!!  I wish there were a way for me to let you add your own entries on this blog but as you know, I'm still figuring out the basics here.  But, if you see something, please e-mail it to me at g8rchris@gmail.com.  A lot of you are texting me photos but I can't figure out how to save/upload the photos out of a text message!

One of my favorites has been from Amie, president of my Jordan fan club:  Edible Arrangements

This one resonates with me on a few levels.  If you or someone close to you has ever been through any sort of major illness or tragedy, then you are VERY familiar with Edible Arrangements.  Someone can have an arrangment shipped to you and unlike actual flowers, you can eat the arrangement.  It's really a brilliant concept.  After the first few of them showed up at Hospice and the house, it became quite the inside joke in our family (that and cookie cakes).  But, truly, it is a smart thing to send people as it is nice and easy to display and eat and who doesn't love flower shaped fruit? 

Anyway, in this case, fruit baskets range from $39-$55 with 10% of the proceeds going to the National Breast Cancer Foundation.  Good on ya, Edible Arrangement people.  Oh, and you even get a nice, commerative ceramic mug to remind you of breast cancer all year.

I think my personal favorite is the one with pink high heels sculpted out of pineapple.  "Let's work together to stomp out breast cancer" indeed.
