Cupcake Cuteness

by:

I’ve got kind of a thing going for cupcakes recently. I just love that you can have a variety at one meal and that their small size makes them seem almost non-caloric.

I am a fan of using different patterned plates. There are just SO many options so why settle for one color and pattern? It’s one of the reasons I have a fair mount of Polish pottery. But when I went over to Anthropologie, I fell in love with the many many many possibilities here, as  Read More

Anyway these melamine plates caught my eye at Artstream. Made by Lost Bird Found, they’re dishwasher safe. I just love  Read More
