Mama Rae's Ice Cream Shoppe

07/16/2026

Happy
Today I’m especially thankful for this artistic Mother/Daughter duo!

This fun banner at Mama Rae’s was designed by Mai and Aimee to celebrate the special little corner of Pendleton where so many families gather to make memories together.

Their hope was to create something that would make people smile while sharing a simple reminder:

Don’t let your ice cream melt counting someone else’s sprinkles. 💕

Life is so much sweeter when we celebrate our own blessings instead of comparing them to everyone else’s.

The three adorable characters at the bottom were hand-created by 14 year old Aimee and inspired by some favorite ice cream flavors:

🍪 Cookie
🤍💗🤎 Polly (Neapolitan)
🍊🌼 Blossom (Orange Blossom)

We absolutely love that this banner isn’t just a fun photo spot—it’s a reminder to slow down, enjoy the sweet moments, and make memories with the people standing right beside you.

Thank you, Mai and Aimee, for sharing your creativity with our little shoppe and our community. We hope your artwork brings smiles to thousands of families for years to come. ❤️🍦

You know the old saying, “When life hands you melted chocolates put them on ice cream”!?!
No?
Well, our besties at the The Mercantile do and they did JUST THAT!
So basically, their loss is your gain! This is what we’re staring out with, with more deliciousness using their melted chocolates coming next week!!
Enjoy!

Make sure you get your tickets for this AWESOME freshly dumped rum barrel from Swamp Fox Distilling and show your support to Ashley Booker Addison and her family!! ♥️

Ashley, the mom of a great customer of ours, Asa, was diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer and fought an incredible battle believing she had overcome it. Recently, she received the heartbreaking news that the cancer metastasized and spread to her brain, and the battle begins again. The emotional toll of the journey is unmanageable, and along side it comes the overwhelming burden of medical expenses. Swamp Fox Nation, this is our moment to rally around Ashley and her family, give back and remind them they are not facing this fight alone.

To help Ashley, Swamp Fox Distilling will be raffling off a freshly dumped rum barrel (this was the barrel that contained our current edition #3 Two Timer), with all proceeds going to Ashley. To be compliant with South Carolina raffle laws, the Pendleton Elks have graciously allowed us to donate the barrel to them, and we will be conducting the raffle at the distillery on their behalf. Our staff will act as unpaid volunteers. Tickets are $5 each, or 5 tickets for $20. We will run this raffle for the entire month of July, and draw a winner on Friday, July 31st at 6:45pm. Again, all the money raised in this raffle will go to Ashley to help with these medical bills. I’m thanking everyone in Swamp Fox Nation in advance for your support on this.
