Samantha's Ice Cream Parlor (released 2014 under BeForever branding, retired 2016)
Item# BKD53
$300
Scoop up some scrumptious fun! Fancy, mirror-lined ice cream parlors were popular in 1904—like Tyson’s, the parlor that Samantha visits in New York City. This wonderfully detailed set will inspire hours of imaginative play.
It includes:
Two beautiful faux-marble counters with pink countertops that provide plenty of workspace; the front counter is for serving customers, while the back counter has an attached mirror with golden details and decorative columns, along with ice cream bins with removable lids
A pink faux-marble soda fountain, featuring three shiny fountainheads with levers that really move and a “stained-glass” lamp on top that really lights up
Nine scoops of pretend ice cream—chocolate, strawberry, and mint—that can be served in the
Pair of cones, bowls, or glass cups with shiny cup holders
A metal ice cream scooper with a pretend heart-shaped “key” that would have helped twist the ice cream out
A pretty pink chair
An ornate metal old-time cash register with buttons and a drawer that opens
A sign listing menu items
A candy jar with a removable lid
Two spoons, two lacy napkins, and a menu
My girls were thrilled to receive this, their dream gift! The Ice Cream Parlor is two large pieces made with real wood! The Cash Register, two Spoons, ice cream Scoop, two soda cup Holders & the Chair are all metal.
The 9 pieces of Ice Cream (three mint, three strawberry & three chocolate) are all separate so that you can use those to put in the dishes, cones or soda cups. The scoops actually fit in the ice cream Scooper!
The two bowls are glass, while the two soda cups are plastic.
The lamp/soda fountain is plastic (and does not come with the require 3-AAA batteries). The light does turn off by itself after a time.
The two cloth napkins are really big for a soda fountain purchase!
The Candy Jar is plastic and the small candy toppings are clumped and stuck into the jar. The lid does come off at least.
We are very excited to have such a great piece of fine construction in our collection. It looks perfect with Samantha's Scenes & Settings book turned to Tyson's Ice Cream Parlor as a background! It's a great, heavy piece that will withstand lots of playtime. Grade A+
Of course Addy was the first served since she was denied that right in her stories:
(I asked my dh if he wanted to try to get some better shots using his good camera and the added feature of the mirror over the back counter)
ETA: a couple of photos to show how the chairs to the Sweet Treats Table are the exact same chairs, only with a bit darker shade of pink paint!
