So,perfectly stated. Thank you for this quote, I will carry it with me.
Bonjour! As a co-founder/owner of a booming confection company (Tasty Little Confections), I was in desperate need of a new range. The sad excuse for a 'range' included with the purchase of our little abode is unaware it is enjoying it's last few days on earth (10 to be exact). But who's counting? Mr Cupcake and I have hummed and hawed for weeks and finally made our decision today! We bought a beautiful white convention oven! ooooh sing it with me now! I can finally bake til my heart is content without playing the guessing game. I will give you an example: Banana Bread: bake at 350 for 1 hour. In our old oven? Baked at 300 for 25 mins! Crazy hey?So needless to say I am tickled pink. Pink icing. Yum. But wait! That was not the only purchase we made today...We FINALLY agreed on a sofa! (Thank you Sears Home!) Here she is in a different color. We of course, picked a custom light khaki color. And without contrast piping. Not a fan of that at all. Can't wait!!!
These are very close to the color we picked:

So the couch won't arrive at our door until March 3rd. So the old dilemma remains re: fabric for the adorable chair I scored a few weeks back. I have fallen in love with some Amy Butler fabrics but I am unsure if that is the direction I will go. v Here is some lovely eye candy care of Amy Butler:

Some Damask beauty:

So fun to browse the various fabrics for this little cutie chair!
Lastly, I leave you with an adorable little cake we made last week for a very special lady. Enjoy!

Look what came in the mail yesterday! My long awaited (and longer coveted) print! In blue!
Slow going but coming along. Yes, I am talking about the changes around the homestead. Mr Cupcake and I returned to the store where I found my beloved slipper chair and found the exact style coffee table I was hoping to stumble upon! It is a square cottage-style table that was blonde oak. Well I have started the process of turning it into something wonderful! Sanded the legs and drawer tonight. Just the top to sand and a prime left before the white paint job. I haven't take a before picture-totally forgot! I will have to take an in progress one at least and post with the reveal. Here are some of my inspiration pictures.
I can always find inspiration from Holly at Life In the fun Lane. 

The vanity is finally purchased for the powder room. We pretty much had to go with this one due to space constraints. Just need a little plumbing magic to help install it to fit. I also must find a light fixture for the space. I have seen a few I like in the big box stores. It is such an improvement from before! Just wait to see the big reveal. It should be finished by Valentines day. Talk about sweet love.

There is no window in the powder...I want to keep it light and airy to compensate for that...Love the cabinet with the glass door above.
Keeping my eyes peeled for something like this for the kitchen/dining area....![]()
So loads of projects on the go. Will we ever feel like we are getting ahead of it all???
Love,
Mrs Cupcake
