Flour and Sun Bakery

As some of you may know, I recently started working in Westchester County, if you follow me on Twitter, you've probably seen my rantings on the traffic that I've been sitting in. I found a silver lining!! There is a little bakery in Pleasantville called Flour and Sun Bakery - they make cupcakes and only cupcakes. In fact, Westchester Magazine has declared them the best cupcakes in the county. Wow!




I only tasted two flavors - cupcake sundae and chocolate chocolate - and they were both amazing. They must have some secret frosting recipe because their frosting is unlike any other frosting I've ever tasted, its sweet (but not too sweet) and creamy and just generally delicious.

Next on my list of flavors to try are pumpkin, chocolate coconut and pistachio.

So, if you need a reason to visit Weschester, here it is! You can also find them on Twitter and Facebook.

If I had $100 to spend on Etsy...

Oh the things I could buy on Etsy!! I was reading a blog post by Kitty's Heart of Nature and thought, what a great idea! What would I buy on Etsy if I had $100 in my PayPal account right now? I was able to narrow it down to four totally cool things.

First off, I need a good snack, I can never seem to find anything appealing to me in the supermarket. So, I totally need a batch of Cranberry Pistachio Biscotti from JustBakin. My mouth is watering just thinking about it!


Secondly, I really need a good pair of warm gloves, but I have small hands, so I searched Etsy for a pair that would fit my short fingers and came across these custom made gloves by BugEater. I'm picturing my pair in chocolate brown!


I've been pining over sarahkincheloe's crochet hook organizers for a very long time now. So long that she's sold 3 or 4 and I've had to go back into her shop and heart another one. I REALLY want one of these, my hooks are all over the place.


Lastly, I would purchase this custom VOILA BUSINESS CARD HOLDER from yinsouciant. I love custom things and I'd love to have a handy little pouch to store my business cards in, you know, for those times when jewelry or crocheting comes up in conversation and I mention my shop and wish I could quickly whip out my card before the conversation turns to something else...yeah, that happens a lot to me.


All that and $2 to spare! Perhaps I could pick up a few PIF's! So, if anyone out there would like to make my window shopping dreams come true, please feel free to check out my Etsy shop - Made By Melissa and put a few bucks into my PayPal account!

What would YOU buy with $100 to spend on Etsy???
