Lovin' Paper Stripey Straws

Photos compliments of Sweet Paul

Now that Summer is just around the corner, I've been getting tons of requests for both my Ice Cream and Popsicle designs over at InkSpot Workshop.com. Not to mention my own little guy's daily request to have ice cream, which in his mind is the only daily food group!

I just love the look of old fashioned paper stripey straws, gives any get together a nostalgic look and feel. Also makes me wish I lived back in the days when the old fashioned dime store soda fountain was the town's gathering spot. Boy was I ever born late?

As a kid in the '70's I remember hot Summer evenings and making our own ice cream sodas with 7-Up and any flavor ice cream we had in the house. Who could resist all that foamy goodness?

I just love how party designers and wedding planners are using these retro straws as design elements. No minute detail is ever over looked, right?

They are perfect for making party favors too!

The best part of these fun little pieces-of-the-past is they are readily available today! Check out Etsy's lineup or try Kikkerland, where a box of 50 is just $3.00.

iCANDY - 40th Edition

Warm weather always makes me think Ice Cream! and only Sherbet will quench your thirst on those super hot days. I remember when I was a kid, Baskin Robins was a weekly destination for us. I went through a huge Daiquiri Ice phase, just couldn't get enough. Boy, I sure could go for that now, only please include the RUM:)

Guess what? Baskin Robins brought back my old flavor friend. In honor of this memorable occasion, I'm dedicating this week's iCANDY entirely to sherbet. Enjoy and get some Daiquiri Ice on me.
