How do you take an ordinary looking gymnasium kitchen, and make it into a festive, colorful, and appealing sweet shoppe?

This is what my sister created at our annual school auction on Friday evening.

I wanted to share her creativity with you today.

She has been in charge of this little shoppe for years, and it is always a big hit.
This year is the last year it will be held at this school, due to upcoming changes.
Isn't life full of so many changes? Just when you get used to one change...there is another
one to get used to.
Back to this cute little creation that she did...

The bright pinks and oranges immediately drew people's attention. I love how

she brings things from her home, incorporates them with her dollar store finds, and her

artistic thought processes producing fun results.

A pink plastic tablecover serves as a backdrop on the wooden swinging door. Faux daisies are used to decorate the food and drink signs.

Bright colored napkins from the dollar store add another

touch of pizazz.

Here her daughter serves on of my sister's famous
iced drinks which are the featured items at this annual sweet shoppe.

Iced cappuccinos, iced pina colados, and this year...iced strawberry shakes.

They have been creating these drinks for years, on special occasions.

Here she is, my youngest sister...the originator of this shoppe. My youngest daughter worked with

her aunt and cousin throughout the benefit auction, adding fun and refreshment

to everyone's evening.

An additional goody at this shoppe, was homemade fresh strawberry pies. These were

made by the school's home economic's classes.

Each slice was topped with whipped cream and served.

Creativity takes on many forms, and in blogland I am totally amazed at

the artistic talents that grace each blog.

Just thought I would share the creativity that I discovered

at a local school's benefit auction on a Friday in May.
