I Heart Paper Pastries

Ladeedah, I am feeling a bit lighter in spirit lately – are you? It’s that time of year, before the winter holidays approach when we can tell ourselves – yes! I will get all of my shopping done early! I will make presents by hand and bake things and wrap them up all Martha Stewart-style!! Um, yeah. That’s never how it ends up going for me. But hey! Now is the time when anything is possible. So go ahead, stock up on holiday cards and fancy wrapping doo-dads! Pick out that yarn for the scarves that may-or-may-not end up getting knit! Maybe this will be the year I get everything done early and with joy!!

In my super-optimistic early-holiday Etsy search, I came across the cutest little shop called Paper Pastries. What an adorable name, right? I love this LA-based stationary shop’s cheery, vaguely old-timey look – and those Cook’s Pencils would be perfect for a certain food blogger I know :) You can check out the shop here, and get a behind-the-scenes peek on their blog.

p.s. ~ Thanks to all of you who have been leaving me sweet comments and emails, wondering where on Earth I have been; it feels good to know I’ve been missed! I’ve been swamped with school work until now, but I’ve been able to shift a few things around and I am looking forward to getting back into the swing of things around here.
