The Lovely List

Well Wednesday has come and almost gone, betcha thought I forgot my Lovely List? Not a chance! I had a less than lovely day at work yesterday and I crashed to sleep once I walked in the front door. Literally. So that left me doing it last minute this eve...so sorry those of you who were waiting! But a girl needed to recoup! So here is what I am LOVING at the moment...

Mr C and I went antiquing the other day as mentioned in a previous post. I found this adorable quirky cat print by Louis Wain. I love this image...ironic really...Cats...I can here the "Jellicle Songs for Jellicle cats!" I plan to frame this and hang it in my upstairs hall...a bit o character if you will :)



I also came across three of these clear hobnail design votive holders for 25 cents each at a secong hand shoppe. Adorable for outside this summer!



Lastly, here is yet another flower from the Cupcake garden...a Peony! My first!



Hope you have a lovely day! Enjoy your week...and fellow Canadians...Enjoy your Canada day tomorrow Eh?

Armpits are an advanced skill, right?

Happy Monday! Although I go back to work Tuesday (actually it is now Tuesday) I have had a wonderful wonderful set off! Mr Cupcake and I have had a very productive weekend. We did a tonne of container planters and yard work. Stay tuned for an update of the yard in upcoming posts. We have been shovelling gravel like crazy and wow-it's hard work! Our anniversary was lovely. We took a self portrait outside our venue for out 1st Ani. We plan to do it every year...After that we went antiquing and it was so fun as usual. I bought a great print by Louis Wain (bonus-I happen to love cats!) Its great and full of character...it will likely hang in the hall upstairs. Pictures to follow once framed.

Today we did some errands and then Rocketgirl came by for a visit. She helped me make the same dress she made the other night. She 'supervised'...and it turned out so great! It is a cute little go anywhere dress...I wanted it for the family reunion this weekend (up coming)...as it is easy and comfy! here is a horrible iPhone pic...on me...HA! funny little model....



hope you have a lovely week! Peace and Light,

Happy 1 year Anniversary Mr Cupcake!

Happy 1st Anniversary Mr. Cupcake!!

June, a perfect month for a wedding. We knew we wanted to get married in a heritage building and right across the river (only a ferry boat ride away at the time) is a beautiful town called Fort Langley. It is an adorable little heritage town full oof vintage delights and antiques everywhere. Right up our alley as we are both very big on all things old and historical. So we just knew that the Fort Langley Community Hall was the place. Hands down.



I cannot believe an entire year has passed us by. Well, scratch that actually I can as we have purchased our first home and been super busy sprucing it up. I walk through Fort Langley now and full so full of love and light. Most wonderful day of my life...I love you Mr Cupcake. For
always.
