One of my favorite ways to celebrate summer is with a pineapple party…and it never has to be an over-the-top bash to make it feel special!  I was thinking the other day about what it is that I love the most about entertaining…while it’s always fun to plan a big event, it’s the small, intimate gatherings that I truly adore!  I really love sharing simple and inexpensive ways to make any opportunity a reason to celebrate…and summer is the perfect time for those “ordinary day” occasions!  Warm temperatures, refreshing treats, and fruity flavors served on the patio are some of my favorite things about this season…and having a few friends enjoy them with me is the icing on the cake!  I’d love to share some simple pineapple fun with a rosy twist…

Paint and a Pineapple…

I LOVE paint!  It can transform any ordinary item into something special!  It’s really one of the easiest and most inexpensive ways to make a decorative change…and in my opinion, there’s not much that’s off limits!  Summer is one of the best times of year to have some fun with the colorful stuff…you can spread out the drop cloth and have at it outside!  I’ve got a long list of items that I’d like to change with a can or two of paint…patio chairs, stools, some metal trays, and flower pots.  But the other day I decided to try something unexpected…a pineapple!  I’m sure you may have seen similar ideas before…if not painted pineapples maybe pumpkins or gourds, but I’ve been on a pineapple kick lately so I thought I’d give the tropical fruit a new look! Even though it’s a temporary display if you use fresh produce, it’s completely worth it…and in many cases, you can still eat it after!  See how easy it is to create something wonderful with paint and a pineapple!
