This treasury happens to be a "buy and replace" so if you are an Etsy seller and purchase one of the items in the treasury (or anything from any of the featured shops) an item from your shop will be featured next to replace what you purchased.

bake like June Cleaver

I was trying to find some pretty souffle cups for cupcakes in between trying to get my shipping labels printed, and found these aqua/red party cups from TinselandTrinkets. I liked the colors so much that I put together a treasury while waiting for pages to load/reload (our internet is still wonky so it takes foooorreeeevvvvaaaaah to do the simplest thing). Our internet provider was supposed to get new radios in on Thursday, but so far haven't heard word from him.



So anywhoo hopefully the internet will be running normally at some point in the future. But in the meantime here's the vintage-inspired baking treasury I put together while attempting to get my work done. :)

Heather Ross celebration

Our Tadpoles in Mustard bib was included in ananemone's Heather Ross Celebration treasury. Heather Ross's take-home goldfish print was one of the very first fabrics I purchased to make bibs with (back in the eBay days). Some of her "retired" oldies-but-goodies are available in new colorways on spoonflower.com here. I turned the pink gnomes into a sweet little pillowcase dress for the girls a few months ago.

Sunday cupcakes

Hershey's Special Dark cocoa powder + new order of cupcake liners + new gigundo pastry tip = good way to end a Sunday

our favorite frosting around here is Paula Deen's 7-Minute frosting

The pretty cupcake liners are from one of my very favorite Etsy sellers, HeyYoYo.
