One of a kind items make great holiday gifts
For the person who has everything, or the out of town relative, how about a painted coconut? AnnaMaria at the Windisch-Hunt Gallery (2911 Grand Avenue) will personalize any coconut and it can be mailed anywhere, or you can get it gift wrapped and take it with you for under the tree.
The gallery has many major works of art and the gift shop area has gifts ranging from only $5.00 for handmade greeting cards and going up to $300.00 for paintings, with many cool artsty things in between.
Another great idea for a holiday gift is art lessons. Children's and adult's classes are starting up in January, sign yourself up, too! Stop in any day or call 772-480-3131 for info (that's the gallery number).

If you think about this for a second----what could lionize Coconut Grove more than a coconut covered in art, certainly not a peacock, although it could follow as # 2. Miami Beach could package some beach sand, Coral Gables could use Coral, Pinecrest? Homestead? Key West? Hialeah? West Palm Beach what, a Westerly palm? Tampa, St. Pete? And if you don't like it as a gift, then eat the nut.
Thanks Jobie For your info those two coconuts pictured left Coconut Grove with holiday greetings to Mass. and Maine respectively.
AnnaMaria, I have to say what beautiful hair you have. I think you're diong great things here in the Grove. I plan on stopping in to check it out.
Great photo of Annamaria. She has always welcomed all activities and events into her gallery - always a fun place to stop by.
Anna Maria, wonderful picture of you and the fun art. Keep on going!
Coconut Grove artist. Coconut are free, lying about waiting for bulk trash pick up trucks each Friday or hanging from trees. Pick up several or several dozen, think about some colorful appropriate design/art for this shape. Ask our numerous businesses, all of them if you can sit this art, somewhere at their business, set them somewhere safely about the Grove, sign your name, make sure the name leads back to a phone number. Try this for, say, two months, check with the business to see if your nuts sold as are, hope the phone rights so the passersby can send you, say $50.00. With several thousand coconut art pieces about the Grove it just might catch on along with the peacocks, could make you a few bucks, could create a pleasant memory or help lionize the Grove, could end up as something positive, friendly, warm and Grovish.
Jerry suggested that Coconut Grove businesses have a pile of painted coconuts for people to take and leave a donation for Grove charitable group.
Yes Jerry it would be a lovely fund raiser "Support your local artists", the dead ones don't need it.
