I am so glad to be living in the suburbs again. Almost every weekend we have been going to yard sales. In the winter they are called tag sales since no one can really have a yard sale in the snow. Recently I found a set of fantastic plastic Hellerware Dishes for only $5. I love their minimalistic look. So white, plastic and space age!

These were designed back in the 60s by Massimo Vignelli

Every time I go home to visit my family in Orlando, we always go to Walt Disney World. This time we made a stop at Disney's Polynesian Resort Hotel. It is a gorgeous hotel, all decked out in everything tiki. I have stayed there before. I love it. The rooms are fantastic and so is the pool area. The gardens are gorgeous, even in the winter time. They have a luau dinner show and several other restaurants. At O'Hana's you can eat breakfast with Mickey Mouse and Lilo and Stitch.

Here are some photos I took of the tiki decor. Definitely inspires me to do a tiki room this spring.

Happy Snow Day from the Cains at our own White House.
