Can you believe I fit both of these lanterns in my suitcase and they arrived (on a plane from Florida) intact? I found them at Ross for only $12/each and I was determined to get them home with me. Mission accomplished.
This is not a foodie blog, but I couldn’t resist sharing a simple and yummy summer treat with you.
A homemade ice cream sandwich is sure to please kids and adults alike. Simply bake your favorite cookie. You can use a mix or make them from scratch. Allow them to cool. Stuff with a complimenting ice cream, wrap with saran wrap, and freeze until hardened.
Yum.

PS – I have not forgotten about the free design consultations. I picked a few of my favorite comments and I am going to put it up for a vote in a few days. The winner of the vote will be my test subject. I’m snapping my rubber gloves right now…muh-ha-ha! Stay tuned!

YUM! wish I had some ice cream in the house.
Love those lanterns!! I have found while traveling "where there is a will there is a way!!" : )
Those look beautiful with the whites, cream and pastel greens in this pic…I ♥ them. Running to Ross tomorrow to see if I can find some for my bedroom makeover….going with silver, whites and gold (I think).

Your lanterns look beautiful and what a great find.
I love your new lanterns. You won't believe all the stuff I have managed to get home in a suitcase. When we went to France I put an entire case of wine in my checked luggage! The ice cream sandwich looks yummy.
Hugs, Sherry

I love the vignette you did with the lanterns. And the ice cream sandwiches… You have inspired me lemon sugar cookies with french vanilla ice-cream.
Those lanterns look like they were worth getting on that plane!
