So, it was one of those regular days in the funny little place at the edge of the desert. Where the cacti meet the trees, and heat looms but winter surely takes a decent peek. Not quite the Sahara, but not quite Washington State either...
A day, where the clock strikes three, reminding it is time for a magical kind of tea... The creatures were getting cozy, gathering around... Two had arrived early, when an odd thing occurred...(click on photos to enlarge)
You see, one could not clearly recall every detail... However, the distinct memory was that of a sound... A sound accompanied by song, and then a smell of sweetness all too tender...
It was the tiny song of the rare Cupcake Duncecap Goldy Winged Bird...
Yes, it was quite certain... He was sitting on a tree. He appeared every few hundred years... Luring creatures to a place so sweet, so divine, one taste, and you would never be the same... We followed him...
He chirped, telling it was something special for you and you and you and, all of you! A caged event. A splendid event. A curious party perhaps?
Could it truly be a fact? Not an urban legend? That when you see the Cupcake Duncecap Goldy Winged Bird, a sweet caged curious tea party awaits? One that with one taste of the caged splendor, brings waves of neverending creativity and imagination?
I am here to prove it to be a true tale... For what awaited us, as we peeked inside....
Were the very treats themselves...
The door slowly opened...
Which one would you choose? Which one would you eat??? They all called out... Beckoning...
We soon found, those were not peppermints, but strawberry creamsicle swirls of delight...
I can here you exclaim? Did you choose the one??? With sprinkles and shiny red flair?
Or was it the one with enticing swirls?
Wasn't it impossible to choose?
No you say? You say you knew right away???
I should have known better. You closed right in... The one that tickled your fancy... And how did it taste??
Mr. Lovee had several, his eyes closed in bliss. He slowly chewed, he muffled, mmmm, mmmm, mmmm... So moist, so perfect. The best ever... Hooray!!!
A morsel to take all those sorrows away... (if you have any at all, which we hope you don't)
We shall set one aside for our trusty gnome... Who guards us and cares for us, whenever we are alone...
So, here I am, just a delivery girl... Bringing you an endless sweet curious cupcake feast, while I am away. Oh, don't worry, it is just for a few days. I must see the Lioness Queen Mombie and her hilarious storytelling funny mother (my granny). For that very special Sunday, that is right around the corner...
So make yourselves at home and eat up all those wonderful treats...
Oh and, since you offered ;) I am leaving you in charge of the place while I am gone... You have to be careful with all the little characters... They like to get out and cause mischief...
Beware of the sweet sheepish faces...
You remember what happened with the rabbit and the porcupine and the costume chest while I was away last time? Oh, and I presume you are going to tell me that my three wheel bike got dented on its own?? Hee heee......
Okay, here are the rules...
Have a marvelous weekend!!!! Eat your treats and hang from the chandeliers! Make sure not to brush your hair, or to wear matching socks to the grocery store!! Oh, and please, make sure you play in bubbles and make a mess!!
Don't forget your free Mother's day cardlettes in the post right below this one... Oh and, I popped a new little treat in my shop... Sweet Day - at the fair...
See you really really sooooon!!! xoxo, V
