Don Featherstone, the creator of the plastic pink flamingo lawn ornaments, passed away Monday, June 22, 2015. He created them in 1957

I've always liked pink flamingos. For this swap you will create a pink flamingo item for your partner. It can look like a real flamingo or a plastic one.

Items can be, but not limited to: ATC; Skinny; knit, crochet, sewn; clay; jewelry....I think you get the idea.

This is a USA swap only. Feel free to host your own international one.

ALSO - there are a couple of swappers that sometimes join my swap that are from Canada, but have a USA address too....PLEASE CHECK YOUR PARTNERS PROFILE

Newbies to swap-bot, are welcomed, with a well filled out profile (I DO CHECK AND WILL BAN). No recent/unexplained low ratings. PLEASE check out my profile page and read the "About Swaps I Host" section for an in-depth explaination of my swap rules.

Also ~ I live in "Boonyville" Michigan and sometimes our internet connection isn't very good. This is especially true when it rains & in the winter months. I have been told that swap hosts have 7 days after the sign up date to assign partners. So please be patient, partners will get assigned and if needed I will extend the send date.

If you know of a bad swapper signed up for this swap, I appreciate being informed, but please DO NOT post to the comment section! Send me a PM and I will deal with it that way

The pink flamingo was invented in my home town of Leominster, MA where Union Products was located for many, MANY years!

The patent has been sold (a couple times, i think) but I believe the classic pink flamingo is now being produced in neighboring town of Fitchburg!

Made in the USA :)
