I'm late in posting these, but thought I'd share some pics from our little Halloween team meeting last Friday (we were quite sugar buzzed from all the treats, no pun intended!). Below are two of my creative and industrious interns in their bat/bee costumes.

Yes, it's Happy Cupcake Friday. And nope, I don't have my posts all switched... that chandelier you see is really an installation made entirely of rock sugar! Yum. This was on exhibit at the De Young but I only caught it via Atelier 29.

which is perfectly sized to fit one "large" slice of cake in between the lace.

Dare Devil Tattoo

noreply@blogger.com (Shop Friends) — Mon, 05 Oct 2009 12:06:00 +0000

I still recall fondly our little tattoo field trip when an anonymous staff member decided to get a tattoo of one of my designs. Well, I was sufficiently blown away when I saw the work of Amanda Wachob of Dare Devil Tattoo in NYC. Those paint strokes are gorgeous.

I remember as a kid I'd get spooked when I saw clusters of mushrooms that popped up overnight on the lawn after a rainstorm. Well this is one mushroom cluster I think I could handle...

How many times have you been caught empty-handed without a candle for a birthday cake (or in our case, cupcake)? Thought this was genius...a Five Minute Candle by Poketo. They come in a matchbook case so you can carry it in your purse or wallet and whip them out for impromptu celebrations. Genius.
