Cake Pops

Bakerella is a fabulous baking blog. It feeds right into my susie-cakes, williams-sonoma, & martha-stewart baking visions. This little video has clear instructions and is so fun. Make sure you enlarge it to a full window. I will be applying an Autumnal Attitude to mine.

Glitterfest-Fall 2010

Another Glitterfest is upon us this coming Saturday, October 2, 2010. I have been to the previous Spring ones, and am looking forward to this Fall/Winter one.

This past Saturday, I had the privilege of meeting Dianne White, who created Glitterfest. She is the owner of a delightful store called Whimzy, in Old Town Tustin, California. I enjoyed talking with her about handmade items, and celebrating what is made in the USA. Her shop is filled with curious and delightful supplies for all types of media. She has fabulous taste and lots of decor items. There is even a vintage clothing section.

Dianne mentioned that her sister is the designer for the shop. She introduced me to a new line of unique rubber stamps made by the B Line Designs Company. These are the items I purchased: B line crown stamp, German glass glitter in metallic teal, 2 brass charms for paper crafting, and 2 charms for jewelry. All of the items were carefully wrapped in black tissue for the season, and the hand stamped bag is really cute!

Paris to the Moon

One of the delights I have in visiting south Orange County, California, is going to Paris to the Moon. Unfortunately after 9 years they are closing their doors. I find this very sad. The only word I can come up with to describe this shop is ...magical. They are going to be attending flea markets and other shows in the future. I was fortunate to shop there one last time at the closing sale, and you can see what I purchased. They were the ones to start the "wish" tickets years ago, that have been copied ever since. I talked to the owner and wished him well! Take a look at their facebook page.
