Cupcaking: It's a new expression!

A friend just sent me this tasty lil email :

Just read this & thought of you. You probably started this trend:

Cupcaking:

"It's a new expression. Cupcakes are hot in general, and this trend is about getting back to basics and being joyful, enjoying the simpler things in life. You can stay home and cupcake with our boyfriend or hang out cupcaking with your friends."
-Jennifer Ganshirt, managing partner, Frank About Women. A trend research firm. People Magazine, Style Watch June/July 2009 "What's IN What's OUT", pg. 98.

I adore this quote. That IS what it's all about, right? Lesley is a mom of 3 under 3, and is amazing and perfect and cute as a cupcake. Thanks for sending this in, Lesley <3

Love & Cupcakes,

This is my Hello World!

I've been sewing some delicious lil things for my daughter Tristyn (shown here wearing the prototype bandini while coloring in her bedroom) and have decided to offer them up to anyone who'd like to sweeten up their life a lil. So we're setting up the Etsy shop to bring these smart handmade treats straight to your door.

We're pleased to meet you!!
