The Goodbye Girl, but with waffles
I am so sorry to be so scarce this week!
Things will be back to normal next week, I promise. And I've got to get to the Halloween fun, too! It'll just pass me by if I let it. I brought you a giant-acorn-shaped waffle to make up for my delinquent blogging:
A nice sliver of butter and some syrup and I think that'll do just fine. (I'm so crazy for that big acorn cookie cutter! It's kind of too big for cookies, but it cuts up sandwiches or waffles like a champ).
We are headed out of town again tomorrow to a weekend wedding (it will be the first best-friend wedding I've attended in my young life, so I'm really excited!). My lovely, lovely friend Liz is getting married to her long-time sweetie, and I get to be a bridesmaid. In black, no less.
And my own black dress, at that! She is so thoughtful to abolish usual matchy/nightmarish bridesmaid dresses.
It will be so fun, and I am excited to show you guys the present I made for then when I get back (I know Elizabeth peeps over here every so often, so I don't want to spoil it).
I will, of course, miss this little dapper chap:
He really took a shine to the pretty blue scarf that Jenny made. I had trouble getting it back.
Okay, that's a lie.
But still. He did fancy it.
Enjoy the rest of your weeks, lovely Applets. I'll return on Monday!
Darling kitty you have, and your waffles are making me hungry!!

Oh, how fun! Weddings are lovely.
Speaking of lovely, my Famous Blue Waistcoat arrived today. He is sitting on top of my mantle, looking quite dapper and handsome. Thank you so very much; having an original is really quite amazing.

P.S. Miette looks adorable.
Am so jealous: my boyfriend got to hang out with a two-week old kitten and its mama today.

Oh Miss Emily,
You have been missed, but life sometimes can be grand, and you must enjoy every tender morsel it has to offer. You friend Liz must be an amazing little lady, letting a bridesmaid actaully wear a wonderful black, wearer chosen dress. That is wonderful, pure loveliness indeed!! Have fun! Hi Miette, behave in your charming scarf!! xxoxo

Mr Miette looks very, very dashing in that blue scarf.
Just the right shade of blue for such a distinguished young gentleman.
Weddings are so much fun!
I wish me and my Mr could do it again, I just want to make all the favours and wedding invitations again!
Right, the seamstress must return to her attic...

I'm loving the acorn pancake! Food tastes MUCH better when it's pretty :)
I've been addicted to Etsy this weekend- you're getting a ton of business! I kept seeing your "recently bought" prints in the "Time Machine II." Way to go you! Hurray!

yum... I haven't had waffles in *ages*... And the idea of using a cookie-cutter (an acorn no less!!!!) is brilliant! Where, if you don't mind my asking, did you find such a cutely shaped cutter?
Have fun at the wedding!! :)

It's good to see you again! When should I be there for the next batch of waffles? Hehehe!

I got my little box from you yesterday and I just love it! I posted a photo of it on my blog...hope that's okay.
Have a fun trip and congratulations to your friend!

Have fun at the wedding Emily! And thank you so much for sending my beautiful prints so quickly. I love them! Once I get a place of my own I'll have them framed and up on the wall so everyone else can enjoy them. Thanks again!

Ahh. You may think that it is just an acorn waffle. But it looks like you made a waffle Pac Man about to eat a waffle acorn.

You know, when I have a baby girl...and I'm willing that to be soon...I'm buying up all of your artwork...all of it...for the nursery. I am obsessed...you are very talented.

oh my gosh, I was oggling that very same cookie cutter at Sur La Table last weekend. I got a fleur-de-lys one instead on the grounds of "but what would one DO with such a giant cookie cutter?" And here you are, answering that question. It's brilliant!
and how cute is Miette in that scarf?

I love the waffle! Too simple, yet creative and brilliant.
