Our niece Kylie spent the night last night while her parents celebrated their 5th wedding anniversary. We had a wonderful time!After dinner, we had a tea party. Actually a pink hot chocolate party. And what better than these cupcakes for such an event?
The grass is actually candy...I found it at Target and couldn't wait to use it. Did you know that they made candy grass for Easter baskets???
I bought this circus tent from Restoration Hardware on sale. It's still a bit expensive but, in a moment of weakness, I caved. I thought it'd be a good thing for when our little friends visit. Kylie loved it. She immediately filled it with pillows and wanted to take her dinner there.
When the whole family (Rich's and mine) all come for Easter, we're going to set the circus tent up in the backyard, fill it with costumes and hoola-hoops and other implements of fun and the children will put on a show for us by the end of the day. Won't that be fun?
Hope you're having a good weekend, my friend.

I just love your style, your store, and your blog! I recently ordered a few items from your store, and I loved every item I received. I even loved the package they came in; right down to the personalized packing tape. You have such a gift of creativity, and you have inspired me more than you know. I am tying to start a store of my own, and I hope it can only be half as fabulous as yours! Anyway, thank you for all the inspiration. I enjoy peeking at your blog from time to time, to check out all your newest creations. You have made an admirer out of me. :)
Amy, my daughters and I had such a lovely time at your store! thank you so much for my "birthday ring"! I wore it all week in Fredericksburg! I loved meeting Miss Irene and want to be her friend! She was just delightful! I am back home in Tennessee and am preparing a little package for you. You gave us such joy that day. My daughers are planning a trip to see Miss Irene's shop too.
Will be sending you pix of the little farm set soon!
Truly inspired,
