About a week ago I found myself in Bismarck.  Naturally, while there I was faced with a difficult decision:  TJ Maxx or boutique shopping?  I went the boutique route and found myself at a darling place called Junk Yard Chic.  Their wares boast gifts of the salvaged, shabby-chic, rustic variety.

 

When I checked out, my goods were carefully wrapped in the cutest Popsicle tissue paper I’ve ever seen.  Which got me thinking all about summer’s best treat, and how I could incorporate those fun, sweet, melty colors and flavors into my life this summer.  Here are seven great things I came across.

1.  I have been itching to host a summer ice cream social.  But I might just do a Popsicle social instead.  These invitations from Free Pretty Printables are sooo cute I could eat them up.  Oh, yeah.  And they are FREE!

2.  There are a ton of amazing popsicle recipes floating around on Pinterest these days.  I fell in love with the wholesome ingredients and easy prep for these made with blueberries, strawberries and honey.  Get the recipe here.  The blog, In Sock Monkey Slippers recommends this mold.

3.  Dreamcicles anyone?  Those are soap!  Yes, soap.  The perfect summer gift for a summer hostess.  Get them from Sun Kid Gifts on Etsy.

4.  If technology is more your style, sport this adorable phone cover this summer.  Get this one and other cute Popsicle prints at Peanutoak Case’s Etsy shop.

5.  These aren’t edible at all!  They are crayons.  How amazing is that?  I found this image on Pinterest.  Which led me to Etsy…only to discover that the listing is no longer active.  I’m guessing you can melt down crayons and cool them in a Popsicle mold.  You’re creative.  I know you’ll figure it out.

6.  I dig these nails from Lacq Lustre.  She did them herself and shares all the colors she used.  So even if you don’t make the mini Popsicles, you can still have some poppy color.

7.  And lastly…I searched high and low for the tissue paper that started this whole thing.  I couldn’t find it.  What I did find was this adorable wrapping paper from Clementine Store.  Now who do I know with a summer birthday…?
