I used to hate yellow. But I’ve been appreciating its vibrance more and more the past few months.
An email from Sarah at LuShae Jewelry at the start of November offered me jewellery for a review (good, bad or ugly, I wouldn’t have it any other way). Who I am to say no to free jewels!
My first pick was sold out. Sad face. So I went with my second, the Canary Princess.
Shipping was super quick taking only a couple of days to get to me. Unfortunately the rings don’t come in half sizes, I’m about a 6.5, but the 7 still fits nicely. The sparkle is worth any slipping around my finger.
At the moment LuShae has free shipping anywhere in the world and a lot of their jewellery is discounted.
Get on it!

We’ve been busy in the Cupcake Factory this month, adding a lot of new things to the store in an effort to give you something to look at for more than one minute! We’re going to continue adding new stock and designs until we reach at least 100 products so there is plenty more to come.
These are new products added over the last couple of weeks. Each picture will take you to the Etsy page for more photos and information. (And everything is less than $18 :D)
Cupcakes and Mace

It’s often the case, when a hobby turns into a job, that you love it a little bit less. That your friends are no longer gifted your experiments. And that you only allow yourself to keep the work that doesn’t turn out perfect.
I find myself wearing all the jewellery that doesn’t cut properly and has scratches.
Sometimes we’ve got to remind ourselves that it’s no fun to work like that! There is a reason you count yourself lucky to be your own boss. It’s because you love what you do, and you love it so much you probably started off doing it for free.
On that note I started making myself a charm bracelet. Not just from the left overs that didn’t fit anywhere else, but from the charms I actually liked. The ones that mean something to me, or look pretty, or make me laugh.
The Jack in the Box is my favourite. My Mum gave it to me, it really closes up and then pops out on a spring when you unhook the lid!

Observant followers of Cupcakes and Mace may have noticed some Etsy advertising that popped up on the sidebar in the last couple of weeks.
Well, it is my very own work! The jewellery pieces I have been promising for a while now have been getting created and listed, it’s all still in the early stages but I’m very excited about it.
Now our laser cutter is working I can offer nameplate necklaces for USD $25 + shipping, cute laser cut pendants, and my usual array of crocheted and knitted wire bracelets, beaded necklaces and earrings and any other whimsy I imagine.
Any questions or requests can be emailed to me or you can leave a comment.
I have a competition for all of you! The main prize will be your very own Cupcakes and Mace ring and pendant set in your choice of colour. Depending on the number of entries I receive there may be a couple of runners up prizes too.
How to enter:
- For one entry – Go to the Cupcakes and Mace Etsy shop http://cupcakesandmace.etsy.com and take a look. Let me know what you like, or what else you would like to see in a comment.
- For an extra two entries – Write about the Cupcakes and Mace blog or Etsy shop on your own blog and come back to let me know. You could tell me what you like in your next Things I Love Thursday post and then leave me the link in a comment and get all three entries!
It’s time for all you lurkers to come out of hiding (and I know there’s quite a number of you), and win something for yourself or the one you love. :D
The winner will be drawn randomly on the 21st of March.
Can’t wait? Email me at kim at cupcakesandmace dot com or send me a convo in Etsy and I’ll set up a reserved order just for you at 20% off. Woo-woop.

Isn’t that amazing? My best friend has now arrived home from her trip and she treated me to some cupcakes and pretty things for my birthday and cooked me dinner! All the cupcake photos are taken with her huge digital SLR (jealous!).
This means my birthday wishlist has almost been fulfilled! I got cupcakes, a road trip, pink pretty stuff, I finally got my hair cut and I ordered a new computer on Monday! Yay. I’m so excited about my new computer! It’s going to be flamingo pink :D
Along with the beautiful cupcakes she got me some earrings; 2 cupcake pairs, a lollipop pair and a pink pair. And to match my bag perfectly she got me some bright pink socks with skulls on them and some bright pink undies (hehe) with skulls on them, she said when she saw them she new they’d be perfect. That was even before I got the bag!

I came across Etsy shop A N Original Jewelry which sells handmade artisan jewelery which is super cute and clean. Just the way I like it.
I’m so impressed that there is an Etsy shop that actually has LOTS of stuff I want, that I had to share. Also, the Silver Spooky Arch Back Cat Necklace is a sterling silver version of a stick figure cat I used to draw!
