Inspiration: Flamingoes

Filed Under (Fashion, Fashion Accessories, Home Decor, Homewares, Jewellery) by Amy

I remember the first time I saw a flamingo in person – I was six or seven years old, and it was at the Adelaide Zoo. He seemed to be quite annoyed he had been captured and brought to Australia to be put in a zoo, and even more frustrated that all people wanted to see him do was stand on one leg. Not that I asked him, that’s just the impression I got.

Anyway, flamingoes are quite cool, and I have a feeling they’ll become the next big thing in the design world. Here’s some of my finds:

Natty – Thanks for the add! I really want some of those flamingo cocktail sticks, they seem kind of elegant in a really retro sort of way!

Melissa – Thanks, that’s really nice of you to say! Maybe it’s cos flamingos are pink and pink is always in fashion? :)
