Yummy Vintage Cupcake Picks and Wrappers

I love vintage Easter cards.  The reason...color of course!  The taffy sweet colors of pink, aqua, butter and mint.  Mmm...mouthwatering!  There are all sorts of Easter images that I love.  Fuzzy bunnies and chicks, crosses, empty tombs, dogwoods, lillys, roses, birds, churches, fancy hats and the list goes on and on. 

I love to come up with new crafts using these little things.  If anyone has any ideas, I'd love to know!

As you see, I've made cupcake picks and coordinating wrappers.  These are now available in my Etsy store.

 

Cupcakes Galore!

Who doesn't love a cupcake? The prettier the better! My favorite flavor is coconut. Mounds of soft, sweet coconut. I put these little ditties together to celebrate...today, I guess! My backdrop is from Jenny's Bakeshop~Everyday is a Holiday. I love her work!

If you are interested in the wrappers, they are available in my Etsy store.

My Heart and its Kitchen of Delight

St. Valentine's Day

Ahh...The time of year where you transform your heart into a kitchen of delight! It's a time to use your imagination from the heart and, while holding true to old traditions, start a few new ones. There is nothing as sweet as homemade and vintage valentine cards, fancy pastries, chocolate hearts, candies and lollipops shaped as hearts with white confection trim that melts on your tongue. Vintage lace and millinery, white, delicate paper doilies...Need I say more?

When I was a little girl, every year my dad brought me home a box of chocolate that was shaped with the big chocolate letters "I (heart) U". This meant a lot because I could count on one hand how many times my father said it. Now that I have children, I'm always finding ways to mix things up for Valentine's Day. I rarely buy anything, except crafting supplies, because like I said...it's the holiday to use the kitchen in my heart to create beautiful memories so that they are always reminded how much I love them. It truly is the holiday that comes straight from the heart.
