Birthday for Mom and Flamingos! (T)

Join me for a birthday party in honor of my Mom who just turned 95 today!

I've been wanting to do a tropical tablescape with Flamingos so I decided to wrap it together for Mom's Birthday.

In 1973 Mom and Dad went to Hawaii.  They came back two of the happiest people I'd seen in a long time!  I decided to add the pink leis in honor of that memory.

I added a fabric runner that has palm leaves (recent find at TJMaxx) on it and dressed the center with pineapples, again thinking of Hawaii!

The flamingo glasses, napkins and pink dinner plates came from Pier 1.  The hibiscus napkin rings and Flamingo plates came from Sur La Table.

The ferns were cut from my garden (you can see them in the background next to the deck) and then I added hibiscus lilies and orchids.



I found two green leaf mat squares that I cut an inch off all the way around to set the pineapples on.  They help hidd the area where the runner didn't fill around one side of the umbrella.

A cool glass of lemonade will be perfect!

The yellow flower placemat is from Pier 1 (a current item).


I hope I was successful in conveying a tropical feel!



Happy 95th Birthday Mom!!

I put together a lemon cake and added some colorful sprinkles!

My Mom Dorothy with her sister Virginia- two sisters left of 4.  We lost Aunt Gladice earlier this year and the oldest Aunt Beatrice about 8 years ago.

Thank you for being a part of my birthday party for Mom!

  4. Oh Liz, you nailed it! It looks like you were in Hawaii by the looks of all your pictures! What a wonderful daughter you are and what a fantastic idea. My hubby would love to have a "flamingo" birthday party! He's always been fascinated with them and since his birthday is in late June, that will be something to consider next summer! How special to still have your mom and she looks great!! Happy Birthday to your mom!!

  13. I forgot to add that was a great way to handle the umbrella! I'm always stumped and end up just ignoring the center of the table. Being a round table doesn't help either!
