Cupcakes and Cashmere

Five Things

December 16th, 2011

{In celebration of National Cupcake Day yesterday}

This week I was greeted with some insanely exciting news from several readers that my book is now available for pre-order (here). Though it’s not completely finished (I’ll be shooting the cover sometime in the next few weeks), it’s a pretty surreal feeling to see it available online. For those that found out about it earlier this week via Twitter or Facebook, I can’t express how much I appreciate your support. Have a great weekend!

    More book news! It must be so surreal and all happening so quickly for you. I can’t wait to see the cover.
    How did I miss National Cupcake Day? Craziness. But, red velvet was definitely a good choice.

    Hi Emily! I’ve been wondering where you bought those candles to put in your fireplace. I’ve been looking for simple candles like that, and I’m having some trouble finding them. Thanks!

      Hi Kate,

      I got the candles from Pottery Barn, but you can get basic pillar candles at most home decor stores. Hope this helps!
