I really like Serena Thompson's Farm Chicks style. To me, it's very Cath Kidston meets down-home Americana. Lots of pretty pale shades of blue and green punctuated with pops of cherry red and cheerful prints. (If I sound like I've been writing a lot, I have!)
Ever since seeing Serena's colorful kitchen in Where Women Cook (Dec/Jan/Feb 2011) I have been thinking about storing cupcake liners in a jar. So simple. Well, the other day at Target, I finally purchased a jar.
In went the cupcake liners. (I might paint the lid?)
Ready for cupcake and muffin baking!
My apologies for being absent from blogging. I miss being inspired by everyone and hope to make a big evening of visiting soon! As mentioned earlier in this post, I am busy writing these days, which is a dream come true!
Happy October!

Love this pretty idea - thanks for sharing and wishing you much luck on your writing! :)
What a cute idea! I'm off to buy a jar!
They do look pretty in a jar. I'm afraid if mine were out in the open-it would just make me crave cupcakes. Which I don't need. Maybe I could just consider them artwork?
I am so happy that you are writing. I know how happy that must make you.
I love the cupcake liners in the jar...how sweet is that?! But..... Yep...gotta paint that lid! AND I LOVE your clock!
Hope you are having a wonderful week- xo Diana
Hooray for you for getting some writing in...how exciting. I have this issue of Where Women Create and I have yet to look at it. I definitely will now!! Love the jar with the cute cupcake wrappers in it!!
XO,

I love Serena's style, too...have ever since I accidentally fell upon her new cookbook almost two years ago...love that you found a jar--and I KNOW you're going to paint that lid!
So glad you're enjoying the writing process...I love it, too...gives such joy, doesn't it?!
adn...HAPPY BIRTHDAY, dear Elyse!

What a cute idea for the cupcake liners Elyse!!
I am having issues with publishing posts on my blog for some reason. My mom has been here for a week so haven't had much time for posting anyways but do hope I can figure out what is the matter!
At least I can still read my favorite blogs!

I did the same thing after seeing that issue! I had the perfect jar already, so it was easy! It's so fun to see all the colorful options and also to change them up for the seasons and holidays. I also enjoy Serena's Farm Chicks style.
You should see my pantry my friend...I have 2 huge jars filled with baking cups and sprinkles...one day I will take a photo...they do make me HAPPY.
Hugs for a pretty new week. xoxo
Elyse,
I had seen this post a while ago, but forgot to tell you how much I love this idea. My husband got me a new fancy/techy phone some time ago, and I have an app for Google Reader. It is so convenient, but I've been getting so careless about leaving a comment on my favorite posts.
I was thinking about your post yesterday when I picked up the cutest strawberry liners... I just have to buy a jar soon!
I hope all is well, and I look forward to your posts in the coming year. :)
