Have SKU Gun, Will Travel
May 2nd, 2008 @ 2:55 pm by Mrs. Shortcake
Well, we finally did it!
We registered! Like Miss Hummingbird, we registered at Canada’s largest department store, the Hudson’s Bay Company. Unfortunately for us, there is no Macy’s, or Williams & Sonoma, or Crate and Barrel in Winnipeg, so we registered at the good ol’ Bay.

Tachy-Cardiac-CUPCAKES!
April 30th, 2008 @ 2:09 pm by Mrs. Shortcake
Who is this woman, and why am I not married to her??? SERIOUSLY.
Mistress Zalita of the Magical Kingdom of Cuppy-Cake has stolen my heart, and broken it into a thousand crystalline fragments. There’s nothing left.

I can’t give any mooooorrrre….

Make-in-up Is Hard To Do
April 28th, 2008 @ 6:33 pm by Mrs. Shortcake
It may come as a shock, so you might want to sit down in preparation.
Miss Shortcake? The one with the pink wedding and huge sparkly dress?
Yeah, she’s a GIRLY-GIRL.
I KNOW. SHOCKING.
Despite my frou-frou-prissy-pants nature (least favorite child hood taunt? “I’m going to put [insert gross and messy something] on your dree-essss!”), my younger sister has me beat when it comes to overwhelming knowledge of makeup and hair.
I put on makeup, I do my hair, but Youngest Sister Shortcake?

It’s Like, Ice Cream, For Your Boo-Tay!

Ice cream goes to my *ss, now it can go straight to yours as well!
But seriously, how cute are these panties from Nordstrom? What could be cuter under your dress - or even as gifts for your bridesmaids! (I can’t be the only one who gives and receives underwear from girl friends!)

About Me: 1950's housewife sent to the future, reborn as crafting-obsessed, jill of all trades. I enjoy decorating, writing, baking sweet things, singing show tunes/dancing in public, wearing pearls, and knitting sweaters for my furbaby, Harvey, to chew upon. I heart pink, and believe that sparkles are the new black.
