Ice Cream Anyone (*2nd Posting)

Something odd is going on with blogger so I am posting this for a 2nd time
Hello and welcome to my 
mini ice cream party! 
I decided to go against the grain- 
even though  it's cold and wintry out
I am going to have an ice cream party! 

(Don't forget you can click any picture to enlarge)
We can either have the ice cream in a bowl 
or make a cone! 
 I found a can of some Chopped Pineapple- It should add a nice pop of flavor as well as some Caramel for drizzle...
I used only what I already had in the house rather than going out for groceries...but had I gone out I would have gotten whipped cream, bananas, chocolate syrup and maraschino cherries!

 I selected Strawberry Cheesecake for the ice cream...

I'm using my ice bucket to serve the ice cream from...

 Condiments include- shaved chocolate...

 Chopped pecans...

Crumbled up Chocolate Chip Cookies..

And of course some sprinkles...

 I ordered these dishes a while back from
One King's Lane.
The manufacturer is Rosanna- the black ones said Dinner Party on the box, and the smaller plates said Cioccolato on the box.

 These are close ups of the plates...
I thought they were so cute! 

I scream, you scream, we all scream for Ice Cream!
LOL..my Mom taught me that one!

 And by coincidence these little ice cream bowls are by Rosanna too!
I've owned these for a long time, 
they came from what used to be
Marshall Fields...

I've eaten a lot of ice cream from these bowls!

I  had some fun playing with this tablescape...

 I used my little rooster juice glasses from Pfaltzgraff
The tablecloths are from a web site called
Bright Settings - they will make any size
you want and have a lot of fabric choices...
They made both the white and the 
checkerboard ones for me.

I used my artificial boxwood topiary for the centerpiece...
Just having some fun on this cold winter's day! 
I've also been known to make a summer type meal in the middle of winter...baked beans, potato salad, and even something grilled!  

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you enjoyed it!

Tweaking and updating

I am linking up with  Between Naps on the Porch  for Metamorphosis Monday 

I have this oak corner curio cabinet with a half rounded glass front on it.  I've kept it in this tight little corner near the kitchen table for a long time. 

It's been decorated many many ways.  Recently I got a bug up my behind to update it again...you know you get tired of the same ole' thing every so often!

 I'm putting these pictures in reverse order...this first picture is my final update...I started with new handles on the doors, removing the white porcelain ones it came with and putting on a pair of pewter finished ones. 

I think it updated the look just nice!

I already owned the black and white plates by Rosanna, the yellow ones are new from Pier 1 Imports as well as the large bottle in the bottom.  The large metal platter is new from Christmas and I wanted it up high enough so I could see it easily and enjoy it. Mr. Rooster as I call him was looking for a place to call home for a couple of months since I bought him...the metal bowl is also a new addition from Pier 1.

I tried Mr. Rooster on the top shelf but he's just tall enough that I had trouble with the light fixture and placing him. He's just an inexpensive resin piece you can get on the internet.

 Below is a new bottle from Pier 1 Imports, the pedestal was something I had and I thought it would be a nice addition to the look.  It carries the white color from above down to this area and the bottle gives that metalized look which carries the look from the platter and bowl above it.

This is how the cabinet was used at Christmas, I decorate it with some of my Dickens Village pieces. 

This was how it looked before Christmas..roosters roosters roosters! I think it was a little too country looking for my tastes now! You can see the old white knobs here too..don't worry I kept them!

Ths dishes are by Sakura called Chanticleer and may still be available on the internet.

Sometimes it's nice to just tweak up what we own rather than making big changes.
