Flip Flop Exchange: Georgia on my Mind

A few weeks ago my dear friend Becca from The Texas Darlings asked her readers fans if anyone wanted to do a flip flop exchange.  I adore flip flops and making new friends so I said yes!!

I was matched up with Leslie from Peachy Keen and she lives in Georgia!  I was surprised to already find my goody bag in the mail on Saturday.  Here's what I got:


  • Two beautiful post cards...one with Scarlett O'Hara from Gone With The Wind on it.
  • Coke salt and pepper shakers
  • Cinnamon Glazed Pecans
  • Beautifully decorated flip flops

I'd have shown you a picture of me wearing the flip flops but I desperately need a pedicure...

Thank you so much Leslie!  I love my package!

I just have one question....how do you pronounce pecan?  I say PEECON.

  2. No!!!! PUH-cahn. Please. You can't eat something with the word PEE in it. Besides, a pee can is one of those things you go to the bathroom in at a concert.

  3. I LOVE IT!!! Those flips are adorable...especially with the "C"!!

    And for the record- the state tree of Texas is the PAH-KOHN tree!!!

  4. I say ... "Puh-cahn" ... originally from Florida in an area that isn't really Southern. But my hubby's family from Alabama says it the same way so maybe that is the Southern way?? Who knows ... who cares ... either way you say it, they are delicious!!! :o)

    Cute flip-flops! Such a fun idea!

    I'm so glad you liked the package. It got to you quickly 'cause we were leaving for vacation - which is the SAME reason it didn't have a letter explaining the stuff. I was in a hurry and after leaving the post office thought, "Poo! I meant to put a letter in there!" The Georgia pecans (Puh-CON is how I pronounce it), Georgia peach plate, and Gone With the Wind card are all, I hope self-explanatory tokens from GA, but the Coke salt and pepper shaker - those MIGHT need some explanation. Coke is based in Atlanta with a Coke museum (a FUN visit if you're ever in town). I'm a Coke addict, so it's the first place my brain goes when I make Georgia connections. haha!

  10. I say "puh-con."

    I Love exchanges- have only participated in one so far. Those flip flops are very Connie!

    I would love to do a stationary exchange! I try to hand write notes often and when I have cute stationary to use, I tend to write more frequently.

  12. I believe I say peecon as well. For the record I'm sitting here at my computer saying it out loud, feeling like a goof ball. Those flips are adorable.

  13. Love the flip flops (anyone out there still call them thongs? Why does my step-daughter laugh and laugh when I do that?? :) ).

    My pecan pronunciation is the same as yours. :)

  14. VERY nice! And we say 'puh-KAHN' here. Matt wouldn't have it any other way :)

  15. Cute flops! I am from TX (living in VA now) and I say PUH-can...any other way is just wrong. :)
