 I grew up in South Beach, we would skip school ( at Ida M. Fisher Junior High) and go for ice cream at a place called 
'Dipper Dans ', which was about 2 blocks from the ocean, and around the corner from 
The Tides Hotel on South Miami Beach.

Really glamorous !

Seriously elegant, but I am hoping they are fake.

 I love these dividers, and they are easy enough to recreate.
