Cupcakes on my Mind Part Deux . . .

When I was a kid, the fanciest cupcake toppers I remember seeing were the ones you bought in the grocery store that were made out of some kind of candy and were hard as a rock. Come to think of it, they kind of tasted like rocks, too!!







Boy, have they come a long way, Baby!!






Just look at these vintage baby images!! I sold a bunch of vintage cards with images just like these earlier this year in my Etsy shop.



How sweet are these felt bird toppers? Not to mention the cupcake pedestal with the ribbon running thru it!!




Definite eye candy!!






Remember the days when the only cupcake liners you could find were either silver or pastel colored?











Those days are certainly long gone now!!






Just look at all of these brilliant colors!!

A visual delight!!

Although, they do make me a bit dizzy if I stare at them for too long!! : )



Some more toppers and liners for your viewing pleasure . . .

These are edible legos!!

How about a little cupcake with your sugary sprinkles?!!?

I hope you've enjoyed this little taste of cupcake heaven!!

Cupcakes on My Mind . . .

Have you noticed how "over the top" popular cupcakes have become? Not just cupcakes but cupcake toppers and cupcake liners, too. Our local newspaper did an article on some of the best places in my area to buy cupcakes and how the number of new businesses that sell them are definitely on the increase.

I wanted to share some of my faves with you.

We love you Martha . . .

Oh yes we do!!

How beautiful is this?!!? The best of both worlds!!

So many cupcakes!!

So little time!!

An "apple" for the new teacher!!

Tomorrow, I'll show you some of my favorite toppers and liners. In the meantime, always remember . . .

Many Blessings ~ Wendy

Some Pictures to Brighten Up a Cloudy Sunday . . .

I took so many pictures during my recent trip to my favorite antique shop in Cape May, New Jersey that I thought I'd share some more with you on this cloudy day in New York. I hope these add a few rays of sunshine to your Sunday. : )

These were all in a display case which is why there's a glare. I couldn't resist taking pictures of them. How glamorous are they?!!?

I remember my Grandmother giving me several of these lovely vintage ladies when I was very young only they were a little bit smaller. I have no idea what happened to them. I had them on my dresser and I would look at them all the time. I remember one had dangling pearl earrings. I hadn't thought about them in a long time until I saw these. Don't you just love when something triggers a fond memory that had been tucked away for a long time?

I fell in love with this vintage cupboard and would've taken it home with me in a minute until I realized that I'd have to pick one of the kids to leave on the side of the road to fit it in my car. The guilt of giving up a son for this would've made it very difficult to enjoy it!! : )

Who can resist pink poodles . . .

and mermaids?!!?

And, last but not least, these pretty little vintage buttons. These had to come home with me!!

I hope these pictures added a few rays of sunshine to your Sunday. : )

Many blessings ~ Wendy
