I was at the Riverdale, NJ BJs today and they have a Margaritaville adirondack chair for $199. It looked nice but don't think it would hold up well in the elements but would be nice for a covered porch or indoor use.
Ciao!

Big Lots in my area have their cool Tiki Signs out. Got one that is like a roulette wheel and you can spin for the type of drink you get. Got another one that says "Happy Hour" with an open or closed sign on it. (I think it's happy hour--something like that). The third one I got was "Time flies when you're having rum" with a parrot on it.
well, ummmmmmm, yah, I guess I better come up with something witty to put in this spot since everyone is reading it.......

Thanks for the heads up! Last year, by the time summer got here, most of the cool signs were gone.

Target just put out a new display of tropical table cloths, napkins and placemats. The design is a tropical flower. Didn't expect to see these out for at least another month. But this is good cause it gives us all a chance to start collecting the pieces we want early while there is a good supply. Also it makes it more affordable. We can buy more that way. so it's good!!

Target also just put out a nice colorful tropical print tablecloth with matching napkins and placemats. The print is tropical leaves in tea,l orange etc. Then the placemats have the different colors of leaves on them.

Seeing the tropical colors was an uplift since the day we were in the store the temperature was in the 20's.

Flip flops are now being put on display at WaMart. Saw two cute pair by Danskin. One was a black with very light sparkles and the other was silver with a matte finish. Price was reasonable: $12

If any of the ladies here like Fresh Produce clothing (cute tropical clothing) and you've got a Nordstrom Rack near you, I just picked up a bunch of FP tops for next to nothing ($14.95, which is a huge, huge discount from regular prices). Love FP clothing -- it's like living in your jammies!
