Bake it Pretty

I just saw this post and giveaway on Bakerella, and WOW did I fall in love!
So off I went to Bake it Pretty. Though I wanted to buy something for myself, I ended up ordering a fun birthday gift for my new sister in law.

Cupcakes 101

Bake it Pretty - Cupcakes 101

Her bithday was in March (shame on me), but until now I hadn’t found anything that I felt was the perfect gift for her. And I do love to give the perfect gift.  When I saw the Cupcakes 101 kit I was smitten, and I knew she would be too. It combines the two things she loves most in the world (aside from brother): baking & all-things-vintage.  Though I realize the toppers aren’t old in reality, they give off that old-fashioned, nostalgic feel that she adores.

Happy Birthday Greghan!

Earthday with Etsy

Earthday shouldn’t be about shopping, but with the myriad of environmentally aware options on Etsy, how can I resist?  A small sample of  the many shops doing there part to reduce, reuse, and recycle:
