Oh Pink Sparkle Fun. How I've missed you. I've been waiting for inspiration to strike, of just the right sort. Things have been rather lackluster in the Land of Pink. Until now.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I found <a href="http://www.ishtarolivera.com/blog/" target="_blank">Ishtar Olivera's FABULOUS site</a>. I just can't rave enough. Look at these parcels! Look at the envelopes! Look at the attention to darling details! You can see more on her <a href="http://www.ishtarolivera.com/blog/2013/02/snail-mail-party-%E2%99%A5fiesta-de-cartas/" target="_blank">Snail Mail Party post</a>. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I will only send letters that look like this now. Can you imagine how receiving a letter so charmingly embellished would brighten someone's day? I want to mail a similar kind of letter to my daughter. She'd be so utterly delighted.</div>

Look at this! Saw these fabulous images first on <a href="http://blog.lobsterandswan.com/2013/03/oh-such-pretty-things/" target="_blank">Lobster & Swan</a> and then had to visit the blog that created this pink cake of pure pretty. The blog is called <a href="http://suchprettythings.typepad.com/my_weblog/" target="_blank">Such Pretty Things</a> and oh you just have to go see the <a href="http://suchprettythings.typepad.com/my_weblog/2013/03/the-cake-decorating-party-take-two.html" target="_blank">rest of the cake decorating pictures</a>! They will make your day happy happy happy! </div>

Sigh. What happens when I want to launch my food blog someday? This is a first world problem, isn't it....<br />
<br />
Anyway my new thing about Pink Sparkle Fun is that I'm not gonna stress about posting unless something really walks up to me and slaps me upside the head with inspiration.<br />
<br />
Well, I found something!<br />

FINGER FUN BITES. omg.<br />

The teeny little buns are made from Japanese sweet dough and are filled with raisins and frosted on top! But I'm thinking of sweetened coconut inside. Can you believe these little guys? I think I would eat about 100 of them because they are so little and cute! And frosted!</div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Lately, I have been riding a wave of rediscovered love for all things <a href="http://www.amazon.com/mn/search/?_encoding=UTF8&tag=julsboo06-20&linkCode=ur2&camp=1789&creative=390957&field-keywords=rachel%20ashwell%20books&url=search-alias%3Dstripbooks&sprefix=rachel%20ashwell%2Cstripbooks%2C147" target="_blank">Shabby Chic</a>. I used to love that whole aesthetic, but it fell to the wayside as I succumbed completely to all-things-<a href="http://www.dominomag.com/" target="_blank">Domino</a>. The <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1416575464/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=julsboo06-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=1416575464" target="_blank">Domino look</a> is still my favorite decorating style. (WHY is that magazine gone??)</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
But I digress. I'm feeling like I have a small opening in my heart for a bit of Shabby Chic to make its way back into my life...little bits here and there...everyone can use a teensy bit of pretty for pretty's sake, yes?</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
So I find it highly likely that I'll be checking out <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1908170808/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=julsboo06-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=1908170808" target="_blank">Rachel Ashwell's latest paperback book</a>, when it hits stores later this summer. And I'd also like to see her book, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1907563598/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=julsboo06-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=1907563598" target="_blank">'Shabby Chic Inspirations'</a>. I used to own <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0060392088/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=julsboo06-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=0060392088" target="_blank">this one</a> and I loved it. I wonder what happened to it?</div>
