Little Delights: Birthday Cupcakes

So my birthday is tomorrow (I'm a whopping 20 years old!), and as Birthday Queen, I demand enough cake so that I may have a bit of it every day for at least a full week. Otherwise it just isn't a proper celebration. Today someone at work made me some cupcakes that look like owls! The way to my heart: owls and pastries.

yummm...each of these recipes is all natural...c'est délicieux et parfait...

Making a List, Checking it Twice

Most Christmasses I go without compiling a wish list unless it's upon request. I'm always afraid of seeming over-eager or selfish. But now I'm a fashion blogger, so I have permission to wish my little heart out ^_^

I'm also really hoping for a sewing machine. I want to be able to make my own dresses. Wouldn't that just be swell? And of course I wouldn't be opposed to receiving something from ModCloth or Pinup Couture.

And I cannot wait to show you what I got for Josh this Christmas! But I can't spoil it for him. I promise I'll show you after the holiday. It's rather delightful.

What are you hoping for most this Christmas?

Elle Boit Du Lavabo

I am such a germophobe, yet somehow this habit of hers doesn't bother me. Sometimes she sits in the bath tub too. I thought cats were supposed to be irked by water?

Cats are amusing little creatures.

Also! Be sure to stop by Amber Blue Bird! The Quirky Poet is sponsoring her blog and there will be a giveaway soon! And who can say they don't like free stuff?

Two Leaves and a Bud

Isn't this dainty little tea cup the cutest? Recently I discovered the most delightful cup of herbal tea from Two Leaves and a Bud tea company. I have only so far tried their peppermint, but they have a plethora of flavors. All the ingredients are organic, and the leaves have a truly pure fragrance before and after steeping. I love it! I want to try them all.


What hot beverage do you enjoy in the autumn and winter?

La Petite Chatte

This is my darling 11 year old kitty Pea. If you’re thinking gosh, she looks maniacal, that’s because she is.  She’s a regular kitty dictator, and though she is the smallest of them all, she rules the other pets in the household with an iron paw. She hates most people, tolerates a select few, and only shows affection to me. 

She can be cuddly and sweet, when she chooses, like any other kitty; and shenanigans and all, Pea is my most favorite furry friend. Perhaps it is her shenanigans that endear her to me. 

Her hobbies include:

Stalking me

Playing chase/hide-and-go-seek

Singing opera at 3am

Commandeering any and all empty boxes - she will rule them all

Napping atop the warm cable box

Sneaking into open dresser drawers

Making the bed - or rather, keeping the bed from being made

Staring contests

Ain’t she cute? 

Do you have any pets? I’d love to hear about them! If you'd like, send photos and a bio of you and your pet, and I'd love to feature the two of you on my blog. You can send photos here: quirkypoet471@gmail.com. Some things are just too cute not to share ^_^
