In honor of
Lisa Mantchev's Cupcakeathon, and since I cannot participate fully due to a lack of internet access and a general homesickness caused by my being on the road for gosh darn near three weeks, I have put together an account of the shopping trip that Beatrice Shakespeare Smith (forthwith referred to as Bertie) and I went on. Bertie is the main character in Lisa's
EYES LIKE STARS 
and just-released-today
PERCHANCE TO DREAM
, and she definitely makes the IHM List of All-Time Favorite Characters!

| First we decided that we needed some soap. You know, for the fairies. And after the catastrophe that happens at the end of Eyes Like Stars, Bertie and I thought that this soap was only appropriate. Calming Waters Soap from karenssoaps, $5 | Being the Mistress of Revels can be difficult. That's why Bertie decided maybe she should practice a little. This blank book has almost 200 pages of practice space. Enlightenment journal from Peter Pauper Press, Amazon $10.19 |

| We of course had to pick up something sweet. The decorations on top of these cupcakes reminded Bertie of Moth and Mustardseed, so she had to get a couple. Strawberry Lemonade Cupcake, Cakelove.com, $3.25 | This scrimshaw necklace with a pirate ship on it drew Bertie in like a magnet. She loves it. She of course loves her necklace too, but thought that this might be a nice one to remind her of Nate. Scrimshaw Unisex Neckpiece, lindalayden, $75 |

The Easy Bake was a "WTF" moment for Bertie. She had no idea they made such things. She was like, "Gotta get me and the fairies one of those!" Easy Bake Oven , Amazon, $24.49 | Bertie loves Egyptian Plum. She loves Cobalt Flame too. She decided that I needed to pick up some of these extensions and give them away to you. I, myself, am going in for real purple extensions next week, so yeah. I don't need these. But you do. Purple Clip-In Hair Extensions, leperqueen, $10. (to enter to win these, leave a comment that incorporates the word "cupcake" and refers to something in this post. don't forget to leave your email addy) open worldwide. Ends 7/15. |
Well, I hope you've enjoyed reading about our shopping trip! We found some totally rad stuff, right? Happy release day, Lis!

Shopping trip with Bertie? And no one called me? ^_^
Loving the items you guys bought...the cupcake is definitely making me hungry right about now and the Easy Bake oven...hmm, if I had one of those, I could make one right now. *searches Google to find* ^_^
Fun shopping trip. Cupcakes are a little bite of heaven. I much prefer them to cake. Can't wait to see your extensions!

What fun! I want alll of those things haha. Strawberry lemonade cupcakes?! And <33 those extensions. I might have to go get a cupcake of my own...
Strawberry Lemon cupcakes? Sounds really zesty, yet sweet at the same time...Hmm, maybe i should consider trying to bake them...
But since i suck at baking, i'll probably end up making a muffin or something instead of a cupcake. So i guess i'd better start practising xD

Those cupcakes are so cute!!!! I need to bake soon. I wanna make cookies and my brownie stash is getting low (I keep them in a ziplock in the freezer, makes them fudgy and soooo yummy and you can ration them because you don't need to rush through them).
And you know, I actually used to make darn fine little cakes in my Easy Bake. :D
