These fun and bright garden chairs from Anthropologie took me right back to my childhood. Growing up, there was this amazing ice cream parlor, not too far from our house, known as Farrell’s. Graduations, report cards, birthdays…we’d look for any excuse to celebrate at this wonderful old timey spot complete with singing waiters, a candy store and the world’s largest ice cream sundaes! While it’s no longer in the part of New Jersey that I remember as a child, I was able to locate a Farrell’s out in California. They even had some vintage photos of the franchise, from back in the day. And, sure enough, I spotted those whimsical seats, albeit not in all these fun, “rainbow sprinkle” colors.
awww… I miss Farrell’s!
How wonderfully nostalgic! I wish we had an Anthropologie near here.
I remember Farrell's Ice Cream Parlor!! It was in Oakland, CA where I grew up. My Aunt Dolly would take me there and we'd go by cab (she didn't drive). I had never been in a cab and it was such an adventure as a little girl. Thanks for bringing the memories back.
I adored Farrell's, my favorite was the parlors tin roof sundae ~ vanilla ice cream, carmel sauce and salted Spanish peanuts. I love making them at home. Apparently, the franchise has been purchased and they are trying to roll out stores across the country again, beginning in California. Do you remember those burgers?? Thanks for the memories!
Awww…we had a Farrell's in Dallas when I was growing up. They rang this big gong when it was your birthday. I recall many fun times there.
Love the chairs. Ice cream or not…..they are the bomb!!!
