I’m a rather non-traditional kind of girl. When I think of Fall, I don’t necessarily gravitate to reds, oranges and browns. My mind tends to find it’s muse in rather odd places. On our trip to Santee Alley, I found this AMAZING fabric that just whispers the coming of Fall to me. The green, brown, and blue just seems to say, “It’s coming. The end of the summer is near”.
Yesterday was my daughter’s thirteenth birthday, so I thought that would be a fun excuse to make some fabulous almost-Fall cupcakes to celebrate the day.
To begin, I found a fun pattern for cupcake wrappers from The Sweetest Pattern Shop on Etsy. I love that cute shop! I discovered some wonderful paper that complimented my AMAZING fabric and got to work. Here is the finished product…
First of all, isn’t that fabric DIVINE? I have mounted it on some canvas to hang on the wall, so that I can look at it when I want to feel happy. What makes you happy? What makes you think of fall? I would love to hear.
In honor of Fall I am joining a Fall Frenzy Linky Party at Craftaholics Anonymous. I can just feel the crisp Fall air, can’t you? Go to Craftaholics Anonymous to check out all the fun!
Some exciting news to share! Gabrielle Blair a.k.a. Design Mom featured my Beaded Binkie Clips last week on her blog and on Babble.com. Can’t you just hear my squeals of delight?

I'm your newest follower!

There is a particular sent in the air that comes around when the temperature drops. That always reminds me of October (which is Synonymous with fall for me). I wish I could bottle that sent and release it when I'm stressed out in the middle of summer's heat.
I love the crispness to the air of fall. The air seems a little clearer than in summer, and I love thoughts of snuggly socks and warm sweaters and chowders and looking forward to the first snow of the season.
🙂 Love your cupcakes, by the way! They make me happy.
Beautiful! Any reason for cupcakes is a good one! I love the wrappers and the material on canvas idea! Most of all I love fall, the leaf rustling, long sleeved, soupiness of it. Can't wait!
by the way, can i just lick the frosting off of those cupcakes? heehee
I would love the recipe you used to make the cupcacke frosting with. the pictures look incredible. Good job.
The pictures of these beautiful cupcakes makes me want to go bake-and follow you LOL

The cupcakes are beautiful….is it a meringue buttercream, and which tip did you use? I found your site looking for a taco soup recipe, and at the bottom of the post saw these delightful cupcakes. I’m really enjoying your blog!
Thank you so much! You are going to die when I tell you that it was store bought frosting that I colored myself and if I remember right it was a large star tip that I used for those cupcakes. Sorry, It was last year and I can’t totally remember.
kisses
