Well, I found my new favorite cupcake! Thai Lime Chili filled with Thai Custard filling and fluffy vanilla frosting.
I thought it would be a bit much, but it was so mild, not too sweet, and had the perfect balance of flavor. SO good! I got it here:
Today was another beautiful day. I was able to work the morning and not the afternoon, so I had time to grab one of these cupcakes and have tea at an outdoor cafe with a special-someone. My only problem was my sniffly-sneezy nose! Argh!
Anyway, the past couple days I have found myself working on more journals. Awhile back I showed you this threadbare antique photo album, and planned to make it into a "hidden-binding" journal (Mary Ann Moss Method ) but as I tried to take it apart, I realized that "threadbare" didn't even begin to cover it, and it quickly became an open binding journal!
I really wanted to keep it assembled on the outside, but there was just no way. The binding was practically dust! But thats' ok! I used my vintage Brunschwig & Fils fabric and two favorite antique buttons on it.
And loaded it up with fun paper.
The photo block that I took out of the album became a completely different journal. The ever-talented Mary Ann of course had a plan for that!
It got covered in paper, and on the binding I used this super thick texturized paper that Lee had sent me. It was perfect and sturdy enough for it.
And for an extra touch I added this (is it 7 Gypsies?) "OPEN" knob to the cover.
So that's what I've been up to!
Before I go I must announce the winner drawn from the basket for the Halloween faux cake! ..........................the cake goes to.............
JoAnne! of Vintage Dragonfly
I will be back soon! xo
