The ice cream stand is quaint or possibly Qtsy. Although cutesy is spelled with a c it sounds like Qtsy.
I've lived long enough for the signs of my youth to become quaint.
I remember when Esso signs were common before they were changed to Exxon in my part of the U.S. Now an Esso sign or an old RC Cola sign look quaint.
For other takes on the letter Q, please visit the home of ABC Wednesday.
The ice cream house is adorable and very Quaint!I think I need some chocolate ice now! :)

ReplyDeleteQuaint is a beautiful word and very romantic, I think! In my dictionary it has a lot of meanings.
ReplyDeleteOh, you and me, Carver!!! Love the ice cream parlor and those old signs! Fun one for the Q Day! And have a great one -- Q Day, that is!

Great Q shots, love the Esso sign.
ReplyDeleteYes, I'm way beyond Quaint. I'm an antiQue!
ReplyDeleteGreat shots and I would love to go to that Qte ice cream shop.
It's funny how the ordinary things of life take on a different, more attractive patina as we grow older. I love the ice cream house and the signs are indeed quaint.
ReplyDeleteLove your quaint post and pics!
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm a quaint person too;o)

Happy ABC Wednesday****
Quaint indeed. I remember Esso.
ReplyDeleteROG, ABC Wednesday
And now Esso is common in crosswords - very nice quaint shots!
ReplyDeleteCarver, I love the word Qtsy! May I use it?
ReplyDeleteI remember when Esso meant S.O. for Standard Oil.
I remember Royal Crown Cola, which became RC Cola, which didn't sound nearly as nice.
I think I'm becoming Quaint myself. I know I'm not as Quick as I used to be, nor as Qte.
