Berry Berry Quite Contrary

Strawberries are in season!!

I dragged hubs to the Farmers market on Sunday and scooped up a flat of strawberries. How I rationalized the need for that many strawberries is beyond me at the moment. Needless to say I have been feverently baking and Im not sure I have even put a dent in them! I made strawberry muffins, strawberry pies, strawberry water ice, a batch of strawberry cupcakes are in the oven at this very moment. Im going to make some strawberry jam before the day is through! Whew.

A few "berry" tid bits to get you in the festive spirit


I absolutley had the My little Pony that smelled like strawberries!!


This is how I remember Ms Shortcake...She looks a bit more "modern" these days
This in fact may be the exact birthday invitation I had



I used a little biscuit cutter and a muffin pan and I made mini strawberry tarts, mine weren't as pretty as this one though!


I know they re-released this, but I couldnt get enough of this stuff when I was younger!
Addicted. This little sucker may be what started my chapstick addiction. I had baskets of these in every room of the house!



This smells really really pretty, and all the fresh stuff is divine! Sephora carries it in a purse size bottle which is always great for little "on the go" freshen ups!
Harder to find than the standard blue tin, but the strawberry rosebud is my fave:)

Hope you all have a great day!

Wow, blast from the past. I was obsessed with Strawberry Shortcake and My Little Pony when I was a kid. And hello Lip Smackers...still love that stuff!

I *hope* you get this comment - I wasn't sure how else to get in touch with you.

First, CONGRATULATIONS on the baby news! So happy for you. You will be such a great, fun mom to a little girl!!!

I ordered the pink seersucker crib bedding from New Arrivals, Inc. It was a custom order, not one of their sets, but they can accomodate just about any request you have with their fabrics and were great to work with. If you have any questions, feel free to email me!

Congrats again!
