A themed day would be fun!!! I'm glad you decided to nix the Disco theme, LOL!

I'm doing a "theme" at the VA swap too. I stopped at Big Lots a couple of weeks ago and they had all kinds of Island Lua stuff!!! Plates, napkins, plastic serving trays etc. (And of course I "stocked up") But it got me to thinking about my tiki bar that DH helped my build several years ago. Well that poor bar has been sitting empty and unused in MD for the last 3 years. I've convinced DH that he needs to get it down here for the swap. I'm pretty sure it needs a new roof and a "face lift" now and I don't have the tropical plant collection that I did then but I'll come up with something.

I won't require anyone to don a grass skirt though, LOL.

With all the folks on this forum, I'm sure one of us can come with a fun theme idea for you. What is your garden like? A woodland walk, a trip to a tropical paradise, a cottage garden or formal setting? That may help come up with a theme that you already have the "makings" of.
