My flamingos landed, direct from the US. They’ve adapted well to their new environment and I’ve been quite obsessively documenting them and other specimens. As seen here on pinterest and here on instagram.
If you missed my previous post casa de flamingo and are wondering, I bought mine from Get Flocked and couldn’t be happier except perhaps if I had bought more. Closer to home, Australians can get a pair I’ve since discovered, from the very lovely Larkstore in Victoria. Although I am not sure they are the Don Featherstone/ Union Products originals. [Has an embossed signature underneath.]
Pretty flocking awesome aren’t they? …brightens up the neighbourhood…
I saw some recently at a shop in Melbourne too. I will try to track them down and check for you!
I think if you’re gonna get a flamingo it’s gotta be the real deal, don’t you?
Yes totally agree Kylie. So you said yours have held up well to the WA climate. So no fading? Was surprised at how bright they are, in a good way. Love them
These are fabulous, and take me back remembering seeing flamingos as a child on family vacations to FL. The weather is so cold and snowy here at the moment – I am quite envious of your lovely new find, standing on that spectacular green lawn! 🙂
Thanks Patricia. Those holidays sound awesome. I would love to go to Florida. Next on the list if I get back to the states, Del Bocca Vista [Seinfeld’s parents retirement home, that name always cracked me up] Hope your winter is bearable. Our summer was a cracker [ie great] but seems to have ended kind of abruptly. Thanks for chatting here and on FB. Appreciate it. Oooh and I can do smileys back at you now thanks to the very goode Stacey 🙂
Love! The pink, the green and the white….what a lovely color combo. 🙂
Hey Mandy, thanks. The wall’s a light grey actually. Pink and grey is one of my all time favourite combos, takes me back to a pair of stripy swimmers I had in the eighties which I kept because I loved the colours so much. True story. I only found them recently on a trip out to mums. Anyway, i’m rambling but thanks for dropping by the House of Flamingo…
Gorgeous colours Sandy!
