EBay what the H??? of the week.

So after finding that gold mine(toe cleavage)last week, I had to go back for more. I decided to start by looking under the various categories in womens clothing. I was disturbed to find that Ebay has a specific category for skorts! Are you serious? No wonder there are so many fashion mis-haps out there when ebay has an entire category set aside for all things skort!

Seller "Thanks2jesus" feels like she has hit this one out of the park! HOT RED PLAID MINI SKORT SKIRT DOG LEASH BELT WOMEN 7. So not only is this a two for the price of one skirt/short combo but it is also a dog leash...wtf????

Family and Friends Opening

Last Saturday evening we gathered our family members and friends who have helped within the store. It was a quick open house to thank everyone for their help with Cupcake Couture. The store will officially be open for business this Friday, October 3rd at 10am.
The evening went well and everyone seemed to enjoy seeing the store. We had cupcakes, cheese and crackers, and beverages for the guests. Sam and I gave a quick speech and then sent every one on their way. Here are a few of the pictures of the finished store and the party.
Minnie, our shopdog, recieved a new custom cupcake carrier and a cupcake toy... thanks again La Bella Casa, you have done so much!

We LOVE little blue boxes!

We have been cleaning the store non-stop over the past couple of days. We have recruited our Mothers (everyone knows that moms do the best cleaning). Sam's sister Hannah helped out by steaming clothes, and Luke (husband to Sam, brother to Sara) was all around MVP when it came to the handy work we needed done! Check out our new outdoor sign! (see picture below)

In the middle of cleaning, these little blue boxes appeared. Sam and I love little blue boxes and knew exactly what they were! Inside were cupcake charms... compliments of our wonderful Moms. We couldn't do this without the love and support of our families, thank you so much... we love you.

EBay "What The H?" of the week...

So, we have all shopped on Ebay at one time or another. This evening, Sam and I were randomly rummaging through the site for some Halloween costumes when we stumbled upon this gem...

Seller "wholelottagotta" writes: "Vintage 80s Turquoise TOE CLEAVAGE Womens Shoes 9 9.5."
Seriously?! Is toe cleavage a strong selling point these days? I don't get it. AND.... the size is 9 9.5.... do you get more toe cleavage if your a size 9.5?! WTF.

Construction is over... prepare to SHOP!

We have said "good-bye" to our contractors, painters, etc. They've done their job, so now it's time to prepare the store for some serious shoppers. We plan to be open for business beginning October 3rd, but our Grand Opening Celebration weekend will be October 10th - 12th! This is the same weekend that La Bella Casa will be holding their Anniversary Sale, so what a great time for a shopping extravaganza on 3rd street in McMinnville!

Quote of the Day...

Our jeans may not be the best things in the world, but they are right next to it!

Gypsy '05... Hot Dress, Not a Hot Mess!

We just got our shipment of Gypsy '05 Maxi Dresses. OMG, they are amazing! Sam and I already own one in every color we ordered. They are flattering and made of organic cotton, so are extremely comfortable. OH... did I mention that they have been featured in almost EVERY magazine on the rack this summer and probably fall??? Check them out in the new People mag on stands this week. You can also see them on every celeb from Lauren Conrad to Hayden Panetierre.

Construction is under way...

Wow, what a transformation the store is taking. The new doors are fabulous and the cash wrap and dressing rooms are framed. We are very appreciative of the work Connor Manfrin Construction has done on the interior of our store. The team has paid careful attention to detail and is doing a wonderful job. Thanks guys!
Check out the pink paint and the straight lines... we know it looks professional, but nope... Sam and I actually did that ourselves. We are proud.

We have purchased the majority of our store fixtures. Shipments seem to be arriving on a daily basis now. Today we got our entire line of Cake products. Check them out online at www.cakebeauty.com, this line is fabulous.

Before and After store photos coming soon!
