i need a tiny flamingo

[tsuki-no-bara.livejournal.com]

this is possibly a silly question, but does anyone know where i can buy mini plastic flamingos? i have a, i don't know what to call it, but kind of a desk decoration kind of thing that's a little square of green foam, four plastic flamingos, and three pieces of plastic white picket fence, that you can arrange like a miniature lawn with miniature lawn flamingos on it. that's the kind of thing i mean. or if anyone's seen a small (maybe 5" or 6") plush flamingo in their travels, that would work too.

i went to newbury comics and urban outfitters in harvard square today - i just had this idea last night - but i have no idea where else to look. help?

(edit! i got the foam lawn and miniature flamingos as a white elephant holiday party gift, so i don't know where it came from.)

Rite-Aid in Davis Sq. has Beanie Baby flamingos for $4.99. Seems like about the right size.

I would go to a party supply store. There's an iParty on Boylston street downtown but I'm sure there's some place closer too...

The last time I "needed" a pink flamingo, I found it at Joie De Vivre (1792 Mass. Ave., Porter Square). It was plastic, about 6 inches tall, and had a bobble head. This was probably about 10 years ago so I don't know if they still sell them.

a bobblehead flamingo! i love that. it's for a birthday present for my sister, tho, and i'm not sure how she feels about bobbleheads....

Not an exact match, but it's just the right season for flamingo swizzle sticks, I think. I'm pretty sure mine came from iParty.

Dollar stores tend to have luau/summer-themed stuff out right now, too

k Henry Bear's Park in Porter and Stellabella, just 2m up mass ave. They have lots of little silly gifts in bins by the counter (for when teachers/parents are looking for reward toys; little inexpensive things). I'm a cat and hedgehog person, myself, and have never been disappointed at either.

Also, who knew Somervillians were so knowledgable about where to find tiny plastic flamingos.

yup...

We know they are knowledgeable about plastic jesuses and madonnas, but I did not expect this for pink flamingos.

This was the sort of thing I would go to Verna's cake decorating store for, but I think it's just the doughnut shop now...
