Can you guess what this is? 

IT'S ICE CREAM!
 Freeze ice cream in a 9X13 pan then use cookie cutters. Cute & simple; you don't have to stand around dishing out ice cream. So sweet and and no fuss

Go here to find the recipe for this.  Cake mix, cream cheese and peaches. YUM!

Serve it on this.  Look..........punch holes in a paper plate, tie napkin and utensils to it and it's ready to be filled.   Another one of those "why didn't I think of that" moments. 


Sorry I've been an absent blogger lately.  Just been busy.  Mary dealer #16 has this cute sign.  Isn't it the truth?  I'm having a drawing for it this month.  Come in and be entered and because you are all loyal to my blog (even if sometimes I'm not so good about posting) you can email me and I will enter you in the drawing.  Come into the shop and get entered again.  It's little.  Only 3x6.  Just right for a desk.

July is all about the Red, White, and Blue so I'm giving away these little iron on patches.  Come in and get yours while they last! (one per customer)

Isn't the world wide Web amazing?  There are whole sites that offer"why didn't I think of that?" ideals.  Well really why didn't I think of that, it's so simple.  I'm always saving stuff  just in case I think of something wonderful and creative to do with it. 
Hubby uses one of these flavored creamers everyday and to tell you the truth I didn't even know the wraps came off.  I DO NOW!


P.S.  Doesn't this deserve a recipe from you?  See post below.

I'm working on a cookbook fundraiser for the Niles Main Street Association.  I need recipes!
If you'd like to have yours in our cookbook email it to me by June 20th.  myfriendsandi@comcast.net
Don't forget Flag Day tomorrow
Niles Main Street is hosting a very informal program at the flag pole Thurs. June 14th 6:00 pm.
The train Musuem will be open and there will be cookies.
Also a little birdie told me that The Nile Cafe will be handing out scoops of ice cream.  YUM!

I know that it's not July yet, but Flag Day is June 14th so it was time for me to break out some Red, White and Blue.   As you browse the store you will notice lots of red items.  It's one of my favorite colors any time of the year. 
Speaking of Flag Day. The Niles Main Street Association is having an informal celebration of Flag Day on June 14th 6:00 in the Niles plaza. We'll gather around the flag pole for a short program which will include the Pledge of Allegiance and a song. Cookies will be served and the Niles Depot Museum will be open where you can see the pieces from the orginal Niles flag pole on display.
It's getting to be red/white/and blue time!
