226: how to eat a cupcake

More from Boston Handmade Marketplace:

Right when Maddie and I  got there for setup I noticed this shirt (and the girl wearing it):

That's Beth from Elizabeth Brennick Designs. She's a spitfire! (and so is her husband! What a sassy couple!)

Isn't that shirt awesome?

Here's the back:

No, she didn't make it. I think  she said she got it at Forever 21. There is so much to love about it, but the stripey binding especially kills me .

And her products are  awesome , too!

Recognize any of the fabrics? Mostly Westminster, baby! Love that.

Beth's 2 kids were  selling cupcakes that they made at home. Smart, smart, smart. I knew they would go fast, so I bought 4.

Would you like to know my special cupcake-eating technique?

First, pull off the top  to separate the cupcake into 2 layers:

Next, hold the top upside down, so the frosting is on the bottom and place on the other half of the cupcake:

Now you have a cupcake sandwich. The frosting will be evenly spread throughout your eating experience.

Enjoy. You're welcome.

Back to Beth's stuff:

I love this top with the teardrop shapes:

If you must have something Beth made, you can always check out her etsy shop.

She had a great looking booth.  I particularly liked the clothesline action:

Cute magnets:

And cute shoes (not for sale):

Mimi, me, and Beth:

I love meeting such talented and wonderful women.

More soon, gotta get ready for work.

I can't agree more with LeeAnn. You have changed the way I will eat cupcakes forever :)

What yummy shirts, both the one Beth was wearing and the tear drop one. I have plans on visiting the Boston Handmade Marketplace sometime before it ends in October. Maybe I will see you there :)

I love your headband by the way. And you looked fabulous in it! Don't get to down on yourself ;) I am totally looking forward to your free spirit fabric line in August. Happy Sewing!

Beth's shirt is amazing, and I'm feeling very sad that I never knew about that cupcake-technique back when I could still eat cupcakes. :-)

Happy Birthday. It looks like you had a great time. My grandpa ate all his cake and cupcakes that way.:-) Thank you for the lovely memories. Take care and God bless, Cory
