Sweet Memories
"I scream, you scream, we all scream for ICE CREAM!"
So...why are we "all" yelling for this particular dessert? Granted, it's cool and creamy and everything wonderful. But ice cream is more than a tasty treat; it's birthday parties and trips downtown with Grandma and barefooted kids chasing a jingling truck...
Yep. Simply put, ice cream is happy memories with a cherry on top. Here are a few reflections shared by some of our Kimberbellas:
From Maxine:
"I remember growing up and going to town with Mom and Dad and on the way home stopping for ice cream. That’s when it was 5 cents for a cone! Malts were a favorite ,too."
From Connie:
"I am the oldest of seven kids. Now and then, my mom and dad took all of us in the family station wagon to the drive-up ice cream shop in the 60’s in Apopka, Florida. Wonderful memories!"
From Karen
"We would go to my mother-in-law's house and she made homemade ice cream from fresh milk with all of the cream! It was the best ice cream ever!"
And I'll bet you a double-dipped cone that you have sweet ice cream memories, too.
Two Scoops Bench Pillow
That's why Kimberbell's Two Scoops Bench Pillow is such a happy project! Stitched with Kimberbell Basics and Silky Solids fabric, the pillow features ice cream sandwiches, dipped bars, milkshakes, memories, and more.
Let's take a closer look at all the delicious details!
Wait...It Plays MUSIC?!
Yep, this is a musical pillow! How? The sound button included in your Two Scoops Embellishment Kit plays "The Entertainer" when pushed. Simply slip the sound button behind the applique ice cream truck and away you go!
Fun Fact: While researching , we discovered that "The Entertainer" was the song most often played from ice cream trucks!
Never Settle For Just One Scoop!
Our "metallic" scoops are made from Silver Embroidery Leather. Add the wise sentiment, "Never settle for just one scoop" and embrace that mantra the next time you hit the ice cream shop!
These Pops Are Tops!
Feel like a Popsicle™ or Fudgesicle® today? Our iconic ice cream pops feature classic colors you can almost taste. Add a wooden stick button and chocolate Embroidery Leather for extra dimension.
Cherries Today?
Red Applique Glitter make our maraschino cherries sparkle and shine. Also notice the blue and white striped ribbon. (It's custom made especially for this bench pillow!)
Let's Go Bananas!
Our banana split is served on a shiny tray made from silver Mylar and Sweet as Candy Clear Vinyl. We love this authentic "metallic" look! (And don't miss the sweet cherry button on top. How cute is that?)
My Kinda Sandwich!
Applique Glitter, Embroidery Felt, Embroidery Leather, and Polka Dot Applique Glitter are just the right ingredients for these delectable ice cream sandwiches. I still can't choose which one is my favorite!
Everything's Better With Sprinkles...
Enjoy soft serve with an applique cone and delightful bugle-bead sprinkles. (Now THAT looks good enough to eat!)
Flavor of the Day
This vintage ice cream cart offers sweet button cones of strawberry, chocolate, and vanilla. (Which classic flavor would you choose?)
Milkshakes or Malts?
Nothing's better than sitting at the lunch counter and sipping a milkshake topped with whipped cream and (bugle bead) sprinkles. Our malt glasses were made with fabric and iron-on vinyl for a glossy, frosted effect!
Which do YOU like best? Milkshakes or malts? (My grandpa always had malt on hand to sprinkle on his ice cream. :) Another cherished memory!
