'Mingo Ornament Swap--It's So Fluffy!

Hello, My Friends!~~

I recently swaped flamingo themed ornaments with the effervescent and always entertaining Aunt Peaches !

If you are not familiar with her delightfully witty and oh, so crafty blog, give yourself a treat and hop on over!

Here is the adorable flamingo Aunt Peaches sent me! All I can say is: "It's so fluffy, I could die!"

From an explosion of gossamer fluffieness in the form of downy pink feathers, emerges a sparkly flamingo head and sturdy thin wire legs. Love love love him! He likes to twirl on the tree everytime someone walks by and he is now friend to the lone flamingo that has been on our tree for years.

I, in turn, sent Aunt Peaches a mid-century flamingo diorama made from a small pink ornament box (miniature shadow box ornament idea completely cribbed from my BFF Suzy)...

I used a mid-century house photo as backdrop to the heard of lawn flamingos prancing around the bottle brush trees decorated in pink mercury glass beads.

So, please check out the flamingo tree in Aunt Peaches dining room. Such a festive treat! And soon, I'll be posting photos of Dime Stroe Chic holiday home.~~~XXOO, Beth
