stress and sprinkles

current tune: "I'm impressed" by: They Might Be Giants

Prior to spring break, which I'm currently on, I took the appearance of the white rabbit and was running around like the red queen was going to chop off my head.

I felt even more like I was in "Alice in Wonderland" when I volunteered to help my friend Kate with baking cupcakes for her "Grimm's Fairytales" play this week. Despite a schedule of projects, sketches, quizzes, and work I managed to make 8 dozen pink frosted rainbow sprinkled cupcakes.

Here is some progress of cupcake magic in my dormroom. My little army of sugary soliders for hungry bellies.

On a different note, I recently purchased some cute deals at Target a couple weeks ago that I just had to show!

This little hello! rug just brightened up my day. I especially love the big Hello!


Some photos of inspiration! (and sunshine!)

I'm going to be trying to take better, more attentive care of my blog, but it's become harder since my camera is no longer in action.

I'm hoping for a more organized life after spring break and to get as much creativity, inspiration, and paintings that I can get out of myself as possible! Hope for more pictures and inspiration....and maybe the need to nudge nudge me to keep to it!

first time bubble tea

current tune: "Como Te Extrano" by: Cafe Tacuba

Wednesday, Matthew and I decided to go and try bubble tea! My lovely friend Gracie-lou enjoys it, along with some of our other friends, so we decided to go out and try it. With a name so cute and uppity we thought it would be a splendid idea!

We found the most adorable little tea room on Lark Street in Albany, called The Good Leaf Tea Company. It's small, cozy, intimate, and the tea and little tea-made desserts are both as cute as they are yummy!

there are cute little quirks everywhere!

they even had truffles and chocolates in the shape of buddha!

it was cozy and comfortable!

there were teapots, and loose tea and other accessories as well.

Matt had a bubble tea with milk and tapioca cubes at the bottom and I had a light raspberry bubble tea with coconut cubes! We also split a delish green tea cupcake, which was equally yummy!

the tearoom was altogether quaint, and decorated with a calm pretty atmosphere.

We enjoyed this little tearoom thoroughly and were very happy to have visited this place for our first adventure with bubble tea! I, of course, will be frequenting this place as often as I can when I come to visit Albany with Matt again.

I have friends that would adore this place, and I will hopefully be bringing them in them the summer when they come to visit. We were beginning to think the only tearooms we'd ever find would be in England.

check it out!
