I always check out those cheapie bins at Michaels when I pay a visit to my local store, and this week those $1.50 goodies are on sale for $1, so I bought a few for my stash, including these Mary Engelbreit notecards and a notepad.
The design on these pieces is perfect for sending to tea friends, and it seems like I am forever sending notes in the mail, so these are great to have on hand.
I also got the matching cupcake baking cups. There are also journals and pens in this design at my store, and somewhere (another tea blog?) I saw nail files, although my store didn't have those.
What they did have, however, were some new designs of cupcake baking cups I think are absolutely gorgeous! Do you use two at a time when you bake cupcakes? I've started doing that, because with one the batter bleeds through and the design doesn't show, but with two at a time, the outer one is all nice and pretty. Someday, I'd love to have a huge stash of pretty cupcake papers so that every batch of cupcakes I make can look nice. And I will get there, a dollar or two at a time!
Oh, I hope my Michael's doesn't sell out before I can get there next week! Cute, cute, cute.
ReplyDeleteAngela, I sent you an email this morning. I went back and looked under the post about being the winner and I had left you my address.
Thank you again, Ruthie
I too hope that I can get to Michael's before they are all gone.
ReplyDeleteThanks for keeping us informed, Angela.
I bought one of the journals to add to a giveaway I'm going to have soon but paid the $1.50 price. It will include a book you might like. :-)
ReplyDeleteI use the plain old white liners to bake my cupcakes then put the pretty ones on afterwards.

Oh my , I am without a car today LOL! I actually received one of these note cards from a friend. M.E. is one of my favorite illustrators and I often frame her cards. Thank you for such a lovely post, Dee
ReplyDeleteI love Mary Engelbreit! Michael's had the same note cards and journals a few years ago and I bought some then. I may need to go back and get a new supply.
ReplyDeleteI did find some of those notecards the last time I was at Michael's. Wish I'd seen the cupcake papers. Maybe I can sneak by there again soon (it's almost 2 hours away) and maybe they'll still have some. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteThank you! On my way to Michael's...found the Polly spoon rests at Tuesday Morning. So many treasures!!!
ReplyDeleteThese are so fun! I saw the M.E . Constant Friend items last time I was in, and picked up a couple to give to my best friend.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the heads up! I wish we had a Michael's in town, but hopefully I can get to one after our snow storm finishes up.
ReplyDeleteI love M.E. art.
ReplyDeleteI saw a very pretty spring garland made with white doilies & cupcake wrappers I plant to copy. The flower papers would be perfect.
My store had the little note books . I bought 2 .
ReplyDeleteGreat idea to put 2 cupcake papers together. I suppose we could use a plain one on the inside and a print one on the outside, too. Thanks for the idea.
ReplyDeleteOK I check these bins too, but I think you find more than I do. Oh I have a weakness for pretty cupcake papers. I must go soon, those rose ones are really beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThey are so adorable, thanks for sharing :)
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of using two cupcake wrappers! Every time I buy cute ones I always make sure I make a white cake, which is definitely not my preference.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the great tip :)
Great deals, Angela - you have such a great 'eye' for treasures! There's something so uplifting about Mary Engelbreit's artwork, I love it. Joanie
ReplyDeleteThose floral liners are so pretty and that's a great idea about using two when making cupcakes.
