For those of you who don't know. This past weekend I was in the Berkshires for The Planting. I took up almost all my plants to live in the garden of a friend of my moms. I will devote an entire post to that but what I really want to gush about is my trip to the flea market in Hillsdale NY. I found two vintage wooden mirror frames. One with the glass and one without but I was able to snag them both for $12 ( my haggling skills need some work) but I'm so excited about them. I plan to strip them both down to the wood. The bigger one will get a fresh coat and maybe some distressing to give it a snappy chic look But the second, tinier mirror is gonna be something special. I'm not sure what yet but I'm waiting for inspiration to hit.

So earlier this week, a couple of kids a babysit for decided to make a lemonade stand with cupcakes as an added bonus. I had something I had seen online and wanted to try and this was the perfect excuse. I posted pictures of our cupcakes on Facebook and my friends went nuts. "HOW DID YOU MAKE THOSE!!!" Relax people, the recipe is so so simple: 1) You take a box of yellow cake mix and prepare according to the directions on said box. (You could make one from scratch if you're that type of person) 2) Separate cake batter into 5 bowls. 3) Using food coloring, color cake batter various colors. 4) Spoon small amount of one color into cupcake tins. 5) Add second color and so and so on. 6) Bake (The cupcakes!) TADA!!!! Rainbow cupcakes!
