Had the day off from work, so I did the usual. Went to my favorite thrift store and then my favorite cupcake place. Even though it's the Goodwill, I always find some really cool stuff. Maybe because it's right across the street from a Seniors Citizens Community.
I found two dresses that look like they are from the 6o's and 70's. The first one is a cream lace dress with elbow length sleeves. It has some cute black velvet detailing on the sleeves. It appears to be handmade and it's also quite dingy looking, so I'm trying to find a way to clean it up without ruining the dress.
I've heard that Oxyclean works, but I have never tried it before. Anyone have luck using this product?
The other dress is a pretty purple faux wrap-style dress. It has a little fabric belt and is the perfect dress for summer.
Of course after a trip to the thrift store, a visit to the cupcake shop is due.
This week I got the Tickled Pink (left) and Hummingbird (right) cupcakes.
The Tickled Pink is a strawberry cake topped w/ a fresh strawberry buttercream frosting and is one of thier everyday flavors while the Hummingbird is their cupcake of the day. That one is a vintage spice cake w/ a hint of fresh banana and pineapple topped with our dense cream cheese frosting. With a cold glass of milk, they are very scrumptious.
Plus I go there once a week, so it's not too bad.
Also changed my blog header. What do you think?
