I began my shop nine years ago after finding Etsy and purchasing all of my Christmas presents from incredibly talented artists from all over the world!
Being a staunch entrepreneur catapulted me into Etsy; originally I just thought I would sell my sweets and pastries, but as the business grew, I grew as well... creatively. I was so inspired by other Etsy artists.

I began selling vintage things I repurpose...like my candy-colored cake pedestals. I also sell things I find at tag or yard sales.
Most of what I sell is all baking and pastry related, or at least things you can use to bake, cook or entertain...for others or yourself!

I create my baked treats from my 1000 square foot PINK retro-vintage bakery in Central New York. My bakery and treats were featured twice in "Where Women Cook" -August 2013, and " Summer with Matthew Mead".
The repurposed items I offer are created in my basement studio ( seen in my photos above-which was just published in " Where Women Create' magazine-Fall 2013).
My other business,( " Sincredible Pastries"-my brick and mortar bakery) , where I create wedding cakes and custom corporate pastry and cookie orders, teach baking classes and host events, has been featured in many magazines including 'Bride's magazine", " Bride's Receptions", "Catering magazine", "WellWed magazine" and "The Knot.com Lookbook", My wedding cake designs have won two awards for being one of the 50 most beautiful cakes in America by Bride's magazine.

I love to make things pretty. I especially love knowing that someone far away is opening something I made. I want them to feel special when they open it. I want them to feel like it's Christmas morning, or their birthday when they first unwrap my goodies.

I find that it's all a work-in-progress...my store is alway's changing!
My favorite things to create are my edible goodies: my customized seasonal treats, my hand-molded and painted marzipans, mini cakes made in actual vintage cake molds, petite fours and my classic decorated sugar cookies.
All of my recipes are from vintage cookbooks or recipes handed down to me from my mothers family, or church cookbooks from my hometown.

Depression glass, linens and serving-ware round out my store to offer Vintage and retro-lovers a fun place to "get it all "...soup to nuts!

I'm so proud to be a part of such an incredibly fun place to shop and create.
I'm even HAPPIER to support all of the artists in the world who have alway's wanted their own store, but couldn't pay $60.00+ per square foot to rent the space to have one...I am one of them!
I rarely shop in box stores anymore..why would I when I have thousands of more interesting, creative and beautifully made products to choose from on Etsy?... I Love to support other creative entrepreneurs, and Etsy is the place to do it.
My Mother's friend alway's tells me: " You Alway's find the most unique and interesting gifts!"...I tend to agree!
