Do YOU like ice cream year 'round...?? Meee, too !

Hi, ya'll.....
please bear with me thru another PAST POST.
 

THE ICE CREAM FAIRY

has been to 

SWEET NOTHINGS
AGAIN

and 

BOY !!, 

did we enjoy her.

For the occasion, a couple of bunches of $5 grocery store flowers were in order....


here they are, just waiting to be cut, separated, and placed in an awesome container....

I just smile all over myself when
I splurge and buy flowers
at the market.

I wish we all could do it every time we go to the store ...it just makes my whole week better.

Life is too short not to enjoy
FLOWERS....
year 'round...:)

 Here's a few I put in adorable little canning jars......



 and tucked them into the cutest little wire bottle holder.
The cutie was sent to me from LIZ at THE BRAMBLEBERRY COTTAGE
a few years ago.
I've really REALLY enjoyed it....



........it makes a great little centerpiece when you need something very low..
and "not too much"........just perfect with a few lovely BLOOMS inside.  ♥

Then we gathered FRUIT......

fresh, ripe, sweet STRAWBERRIES are always wanted on ice cream around here....

we slice them and pile them high on vanilla ice cream....


and, BANANAS are ALWAYS wanted by Mr. Sweet...and the grands like making BANANA SPLITS...

....and, then came the TOPPINGS....

let's see now....I KNOW we have CHOCOLATE SYRUP...it must still be in the fridge...

then there's CHERRY DR. PEPPER topping...

and

pecans....of COURSE

and

TOASTED MARSHMALLOW topping

and

crushed PINEAPPLE

with PINEAPPLE topping

and

STRAWBERRY SYRUP to go along with those FRESH STRAWBERRIES.....

and 

SWEET, THICK WHIPPED CREAM

and

BRIGHT RED CHERRIES

.....have I missed anything ?

O YES.....

I baked a
COUNTRY SPICE
CAKE....

with 

ButterCream frosting, sprinkled with just a touch of chopped pecans...

this kind of cake tastes pretty darn good

with a big bowl of 

DRESSED UP ICE CREAM.....

O HONEY

THE ULTIMATE ......
Mr. Sweet......well, I can get just about ANYthing I want if I serve

him a big ole Banana Split.

Did I mention that this

OLD FASHIONED ICE CREAM SOCIAL

was the dessert part of the HOME FELLOWSHIP group 

that gathered at our house one Sunday?

It was a perfect time to have an ice cream party....
AWESOME...

♥
We all had sandwiches, saving PLENTY of room for dessert....

NOW....go make YOUR SWEET SELF  a nice big bowl of your favorite......

and I hope YOU have an

COTTAGE STYLE PARTY
SHOW AND SHARE
WHATS IT WED.
WED. EXTRAVAGANZA
