Snow Cone Maker.

When I was a kid spending summers at my grandparents, there was a retired school teacher who drove around every afternoon selling snow cones out of the back of his station wagon. I realize by today’s standards, this is quite creepy. His name was Mr. Bickerton and he’d taught both of my parents in high school. One snow cone cost 25 cents and you could get as many flavors on it as you wanted. I was partial to cherry and the best part was always the collected juice in the bottom of the paper cone. No more than 5 years old at the time, I thought that snow cones were actually called Mr. Bickertons. I’m sure making my own would do that magical man no justice, but I’d like to give it a go with this cute (and affordable) retro snow cone machine nonetheless. {via Pretty Little Things}
