Vintage Ice Cream Tee Shirts (and the Harlem Shake)

No hand-me-down tee shirts for Genevieve
+
2 packages of vintage ice cream iron-ons from the creative reuse store ($2)
+
2 tee shirts on sale from A. C. Moore ($5)
_______
2 awesome summer tees for G! ($7)





And then she introduced me to the Harlem Shake.  Wow.  I am tasting what it might be like to have a teenager in the house, educating me on pop culture.  Apparently her gym class uses the Harlem Shake to warm up sometimes and then they also used it in a pep rally.  Okaaaaaaay.  Color me impressed and laughing very hard.



The snow boots, people.  The snow boots are killing me.



And aren't those iron-ons so cool?  Genevieve thinks the coolest part is that they're scratch and sniff!  I  think the coolest part is that it took me about 15 minutes, including the pass through A.C. Moore, to get these shirts finished.

Two new things for me in the post: Who knew they made scratch-and-sniff iron-on decals. Not me. And I am off to google what the Harlem Shake is. And realizing that by not having teens around I am soon going to be totally, totally out of the pop-culture loop. Oh well....

Those iron ons are cute!

They look like they are having so much fun in these pictures.

My husband keeps me updated on culture (pop and non-pop) - when he comes home at night I often ask him 'so what's going on out there in the world?'

I really enjoy living in a hole.

Such cute t-shirts! Isn't it fun when kids are thrilled with some little thing rather unexpectedly?
