We awoke this morning to the sight of flamingo's frolicking in our hedges and a mysterious note tucked beneath our welcome mat!
Now the question is...
Who's next?

About Me
- La Dolfina
- I am a passionate treasure huntress addicted to "the thrill of the hunt." I pride myself on finding unique items and have spent a lifetime collecting unusual and interesting "treasures" which I have used in decorating our home. I shop with an eye for design and look for pieces that I like to call the "jewelry" of the room. Those pieces that have been around accumulating energy thereby bringing life into a space by telling its story or evoking a memory. The allure is found in the details of its journey... condition, provenance and patina. Our collected "treasures" tell the story of who we are. Billy Baldwin said it best, "Decorating is never successful unless it is personal." My treasures are available for purchase in my Etsy Shop and on my companion blog, Shop La Dolfina. The links can be accessed from my sidebar.

This has always been one of my favorite fundraisers! There was a group here that had a flock of about 75 that landed all over the borough!

Creative idea!
Pamela~ I thought so too!
I've never seen it before but maybe it's been around for a while.
Hope you are well!
What a darling and clever idea!! Have a lovely evening :)
What a great idea I love it. To bad I live so far away or else I would tell you to send them flocking my way.
