Indoor Ice Cream Party



When it' too hot to be outside.....what do you do?     Have an ice cream party inside!


I had bought some ice cream decorations at Joann's in the clearance isle a while back.     I had planned to have a party on the porch,   but.....it's too hot.    I had forgotten about the decorations until today when I came across them in a bag that I had stashed away to use later.....does that ever happen to you?      I thought about putting them back to use when the weather was better and then I thought.....NO......you'll forget about them again.

I decided to use the candle stand that I bought at a yard sale 2 weeks ago.


I filled my candle stand with faux mud pies and cakes......some petit fours 


My centerpiece is faux,   but all the sweets we'll have to eat will be real....and delish!


I had a lot of fun making my mud pastries.    If you would like a short tutorial on how I made them click here......http://penny-pennystreasures.blogspot.com/2017/03/mud-pies-and-pink-garden-hose-spring.html


I have the table set with dishes to make ice cream sudae's.......floats......splits.....what ever your sweet tooth wants!


I have big spoons and small spoons.......no knives or forks are needed for ice cream treats


The place settings are all similar.......


To the side of the table is the pass thru to the kitchen.     I hung a "sweet" ice cream banner.......


All of my ice cream decor came from Joann's clearance isle.....


Some of the ice cream on the banner is sparkly.....


I have fun paper napkins......and more sundae dishes and float glasses......
  

At the end of the dining room table is a Duncan Phyfe table/buffet.


I have it decorated with more ice cream bowls and plates

  Before..............................................................after
I wanted to use the dish display stands that I bought over the week end at a yard sale.     They both got sprayed with a fresh coat of white paint.      


I added a Chocolate set to the vignette.... just for fun!    I wonder how hot chocolate would taste poured over some ice cream....hmmmm


More plates and cups.....
    

An indoor ice cream party........what fun!

    Very cute display, Penny! I love your home! Reminds me of a friend, Gloria, who decorated like you do but is now living with her daughter and family. An ice cream party is always fun!!! I pinned a ton and will be looking up your mud pie tutorial. I left my styrofoam "cake" and "piece" in storage in California, so... it might be nice to make a couple of new ones!!!

    Thank you,
    Barb :)

    Penny, your home and decor is always amazing! I don't know where to look next. If I were there in person...oh! I would be stopping at every little thing to get the story on it. I LOVE that cupcake stand thing on your table! You bought that at a garage sale??! What a lucky find! Your ice cream banner is lovely too. And you say those are all mud pies and things on the centerpiece? They sure look good. Yes, ice cream would be good at your table. Thanks for sharing it all at Sweet Inspiration this week!
