Flamingo Fling!

One of the fun activities I did this summer was a painting session at our local Arts Council. My daughter and I attended and both painted Flamingos - So I had to do a Flamingo Table to celebrate!

Luckily, Target had flamingo plates and straws on Clearance, which I added to items I already owned and Voila - a flamingo fling!


For my centerpiece I cut zinnias from my garden and put them in a green vase on top of the paper plaid runners.

Here are our inspirational "masterpieces" on the mantle.

Here is a close up of the place setting - fun and informal!

    "Flamingo Fling!" I like that!!! That's pretty cool! You both did a really good job! I can't draw a stick figure using a ruler, so I KNOW I would be lousy at art!!! :-) Fun concept, and it's even better since you were able to buy some of the elements on sale! I love a good sale!

    Such a cheery table! Makes for a nice place to gather round the table and chat while eating.
    Hope you'll drop by my place and say hello,

Thank you so much for all your comments! I really do treasure them all. If I don't respond to all of them immediately, it is because I work full time and share a computer at home. Thanks again!!!
