A Fun Tropical Theme

 

I have lived part of the year in Florida almost every year since 1992. I love tropical design, decor, clothing and themes. Down here we can enjoy outdoor living almost year round.

For the rest of you, it's Labor Day weekend, and summer is now almost over. But it's still a great time to be thinking about outdoor dining and family get-togethers.
Plan an end-of-season summer flamingo bash TODAY!
It's quirky, irreverent and sure to be a hit!

This page will give you some visual inspiration and food for thought. Hopefully it also makes you smile.

At the Luau 

Hopefully these tropical luau images will provide you will some starter inspiration... you know, get the tiki torches out, find some reggae and Jimmy Buffet CDs, and whip up a bunch of blender drinks and tropical fruit appetizer platters...that kind of thing.

Once you have the basic idea swimming around your head, we can move on to the fun stuff of finding and featuring your flamingo theme party.

I'm a collector! I love pink flamingos. We had them in the garden when I was a kid and I was always drawing pictures of them. Now I got a whole bunch of them.

About CrypticFragments

I am an author and artist who loves travel. I turned forty in August 2008 and feel like my life has just begun! I'm going back to college in 2009 to study ancient history and related subjects with the goal of participating in international volunteer organizations to help women and children in oppressed countries.

My lenses strive to bring together those passions. I love to create and promote regional art gift products, ethnic handicrafts, and design styles which appeal to me.

I also happen to love cats and gardening and ethnic foods.
