Liz from Icing on The Cake (eat cupcakes at the farmers' market!) made these adorable treats with needle and thread on top for my opening at The Paperdoll last night. What's not to love about thematically appropriate deliciousness? Thank you to The Paperdoll and everyone who stopped by for your support. If you missed the cupcakes and conversation, you can still see the portraits until Sept 7.
