The "White Shoe" Rule

I hope you have a relaxing weekend! Kalia has a birthday party to attend, and my dear friend Esther will be in town for a baby shower, so I can't wait to spend some quality time together. I guess it's time to pack up the white shoes! I don't know if I even own a pair, but I think Stacy and Clinton said that rule no longer applies. Enjoy the long weekend!

Have a wonderful weekend, friends! I'm leaving for a little trip to see my (almost) 90-year-old Grandpa in Ohio. Hopefully I will get in a full week of blogging starting on Monday!

Have an Incredible Weekend!

Well, my plans include pricing a pile of "treasure" for the yard sale tomorrow - then sitting in the sun all day, hoping people buy my junk! There is some kind of PBS fair going on as well, so I hope we can take Kalia to see Curious George and some of the characters. What are your weekend plans?

Happy Birthday Sara!

Happy Birthday to my dear friend Sara - my dear, engaged friend! Happy un-Birthday to the rest of you! (Yeah, well - I just saw Alice in Wonderland the other day.) I would LOVE IT if you would tell me your birthdate, so I can wish you a happy one - and I'll get to post some more cuppycakes! Sara, I hope you have a wonderful Birthday!

Weekend Wishes

For those of you who didn't know - we moved from Lexington, KY, to the Indianapolis area in the Fall...so I am missing some very dear friends. Lucky for me, one of them will be coming for a weekend visit! You can bet I'll be taking her to The Flying Cupcake for a treat. I hope your weekend is fantastic, and I'll be back next week - with a house tour!

The Flying Cupcake

Hello - I'm back! I hope you had a lovely week. We went to the Chicago area to see Grandma and Grandpa, and took Kalia to the Steel Beam Theatre for "Thumbelina". It was an adorable play, and she was so excited to get autographs and photos with the actors. We also went to The Flying Cupcake in Indianapolis, and it was just as wonderful as I imagined. It was decorated with vintage everything, and we had an overall fantastic experience. I can't wait to go back and try another flavor. If you're ever in the area, you MUST treat yourself to one of their fabulous cupcakes. I took some photos of my own, but will also share a few from the owner's flickr page - although they're a little Christmas-ey!


Don't you love the black and white awning against the wall color?


The decor just screamed vintage bakery, and it was absolutely charming.


It was so difficult to choose only one.


I heard they also serve ice cream in the summer!


It didn't take long to go from this -

to THIS! Deeeeeelicious!

Too Cute

I just have to share this display from The Flying Cupcake booth at an Art and Antiques show. I just adore their use of vintage tablecloths, bunting, and of course the sweets!

Have a lovely weekend!

You didn't think I would leave without giving you a weekend sweet - did you?! I promise to come back refreshed, inspired, and with a ton of beautiful photos to inspire you as well. I'll also return with a review of our local cupcake shop - and hopefully some pictures of its cuteness. Have a lovely weekend!

The sweet treat to start off this weekend will be a little easier on the diet...less tempting than previous weeks! I don't think the cupcake pouches are very big, so I was thinking they might be cute for holding some small toys, or as a pajama holder. Do you have any other ideas? I don't even own a kitchen timer, so I always use the microwave. I am adding this to my wish list!

You're Invited

I really wish that I could invite you all for tea this weekend! I haven't pulled my teacup collection out in a while, and I'm in the mood to entertain. Have you ever hosted or attended a tea party or shower? Did you come away with any fun ideas? Please share!
