Im Sommer ‚lebe‘ und dekoriere ich draussen, hier gibts alles dazu

Vintage Cake Pops Ice Cream Parlour

A friend is having a larger family get together today and asked me for ideas on how to offer little sweet things ‚buffet style‘. The main focus was: kids should love it. I started by educated guessing that kids like ice cream and colours. Since I am always fascinated by cute things that are a little vintage looking, I came up with this Vintage Cake Pops Ice Cream Parlour.

As you know, for me, the idea is not enough. When it´s in my head, I have to build it. With the help of a friend who is good in DIY things the booth was set up. I painted it with some light spring colours and filled it up with cake pops sweets that I tried to look like ice cream. Unfortunately the weather still does not want us to enjoy real ice cream. I am especially proud of my ‚accident cone‘ that looks like someone has dropped it.

Porch in the evening Sun

Animal friends gather around the porch to get final rays of the evening sun. Unfortunately the real animals we want to attract (red cat, you know we are talking about you) is not showing.

Vintage Bunting

Well, we all love colourful buntings. There are so many different ideas and you cannot only use nice fabrics, but allover printed paper as well. Today’s bunting idea for our porch was to use old handkerchiefs. The result is: supernice and quick to do project! The most difficult thing was to find enough of the vintage handkerchiefs in different dessins and colours (at the Diakonie Kaufhaus I found some and on Ebay of course). How many you will need? finally I had around 30 pieces available, thats why the front door got their own bunting as well….than iron it down diagonal. As a strap I used left over gift wrapping tape. Our porch and main door entrance looks fantastic. Hope you like it as well!?
