{ bakery bliss }

My very first job was working in a delightful, little family-owned bakery.  Ever since then, I've had a love affair with the idea of some day owning a charming little bakery of my own.  I definitely realize that the reality of running such a business is far from the little fantasy that I have in my head. But there sure are some amazing patisseries out there to provide lots of inspiration for my daydreams. ;)

Here are a few places I'd LOVE to visit....

Bobbette & Belle in Toronto

Miette in San Fran is exceptionally lovely.

They even sell these gorgeous cookies that match their wallpaper.


Back in the Day Bakery in Savannah

Heaven in New York.  What a fantastic name for a bakery!

Laduree in Paris

And a few that I've had the pleasure of visiting in the past.

Magnolia Bakery in Chicago.  I remember those aqua Tolix chairs. SWOON.


Georgetown Cupcake in D.C. - home of the best cupcake I've ever eaten.


Hummingbird Bakery in London

Bake-a-Boo in London

Oh!  What about a mini bakery right in your home?  Check out this crazy-adorable play bakery any kiddo (or mama) would go bonkers for!

Do you have a favorite bakery or maybe even dreams of owning your own?  Oh, and I'm curious.  Where have you sampled an AMAZING cupcake?

{ pop up perfection }

Kate Spade's first UK shop came in the form of this stunning "pop up shop". This charming Covent Garden boutique was only open for a month, and is now closed :( Good thing I still have these happy photos to oooooh and ahhhh over.
