There's something iconic and appealing about the shape of a soft serve ice cream cone. I spent last weekend in Chestertown, MD and after a fun dinner out with friends, we gravitated towards the local Rita's. I ordered a small vanilla custard cone and when it was handed to me, I stopped for a moment to gaze upon it and admire the curves of the custard and the familiarity of the cone. Then I dug in, as it was starting to melt. If you too appreciate the classic look of an ice cream cone, you can now bring that style into your house year round. Fred Flare is selling an Ice Cream Lamp that captures the image of a cone without all the drippy mess. Best of all, it will light up the room with a soft white glow. It would be perfect for a kid's room or a themed den.

I almost never drink hot drinks. I'm not a coffee or a tea person. However, sometimes I find myself drinking cold drinks out of mugs just to keep the mugs from sitting idle in the cabinet. Besides, they are often so much more whimsical than drinking glasses and they're fun to use.
