In my never ending quest to hang random crap on my chandelier, I present my latest adventure: Pineapples.
Don’t ask why. It wasn’t on purpose. I went to the Dollar Tree luau section (yes they have a luau section) hunting for flamingos for cake toppers (which I got) ….but, they had some honeycomb paper pineapples that I could not pass up. I thought, What’s one dollar for a feat of tissue paper engineering?
So I bought six.
No judgements. The Dollar Tree has that effect on me.
I was thinking they’d make a good garland but as soon as they were home they told me they wanted to hang out with the chandelier, Mrs. Snow. I told them Mrs. Snow was busy displaying disco balls, but they were like, “Hello we are pineapples. Disco balls are like our native habitat.”* and who was I to argue with that?
*Okay, that was a liberal use of quotation marks. You got me. 
Well, I like them. They’ll probably come down in a week or two but for now they make me feel like putting on a grass skirt and hula dancing, which, in my book, is an excellnt use of six bucks.
Aloha!
You really need some flamingos in there.
Deb, you are so right. SO RIGHT.
I am going to drive through rush hour traffic today in LA to go to a Dollar Tree – just for these pineapples and those flamingo straws!
Hahaha…I hope it was worth it!
I like it. Although to be honest, I’m surprised you don’t have any sequined pineapples! I remember once as a kid, thinking that ‘this is a fancy party- two kinds of chips & honeycomb paper decorations!’ I’m paraphrasing, of course
Guh, now I feel inadequate! I need sequins for my pineapples and two kinds of chips!
Ha! I thought pineapples talked only to me! Thank you for the 🙂 and the inspiration
Pineapples are chatty 🙂
Peaches, did you see the koosh looking flamingos? Could not find them on the site but they are the ones attached to the jars on this site. http://rue-mouffetard.blogspot.com/2013_06_01_archive.html I saw them and thought of you!
Yes, Shannon! I totally bought a pack of those too. No idea what to do with them, but they are home and chillin with the other mingos 🙂
We must have been at the store together…I got the pineapples and koosh flamingos and the honeycomb flamingos and the flamingo straws…and I’m throwing them together for a party! Oh Dollar Tree, you will be the death of me!
