white elephant sale

Yesterday I went to the White Elephant, a giant tag sale in a field in New Milford, CT. Tracy picked me up at 6 am. We were browsing the many booths by 7 am. I was looking for a table. I found this treasure instead....it was hidden in a basket at the back of a booth. A while back I had posted about Hugo Guinness, an artist who creates wonderfully simple wood cut prints. I adore his art but it's a bit on the pricey side. I instantly thought of his art when I found this. The best part is the subject...a mama holding her new baby. I had to have it oh and the frame is black distressed bamboo.

tracy's birthday cake

I made this birthday cake for my beloved friend Tracy. The recipe is from The Magnolia Bakery Cookbook. It's the traditional birthday vanilla cake with butter cream frosting with lemon curd and fresh raspberry filling....and a butterfly oh and pansies.
