HOORAY!After months of eager waiting at all hours of the night, I finally saw an Affairaphernalia item in the recently listed stream. What a joyous occasion for a cupcake stand to have.

It's May!Spring has been a busy time for Affairaphernalia. The Mini Pink Cupcake Stands have been flying out of here - over 30 sold! Even if that seems like a small number, it means huge success in the world of cupcake stands. In addition to the pink stands, custom orders keep rolling in.The Alice in Wonderland and Sex and the City stands are a hit online. I have been experimenting with using

I hope you had a moment to check out Affairaphernalia in the ETSY Holiday Showcase today. If you missed it, don't worry! I will have another on February 10 ~ just in time to ship for Valentine's Day. The spot was such a great way to let people know about the store. I am please to say that I have one confirmed order for 6 mini cupcake stands and several other bids/conversations with other

Well... let's face it. Most of the orders so far have been custom dealies. That's sort of the point of Affairaphernalia. This here is the latest of several custom creations. I always like it when great minds come together to make something come to life.These cute 4-5" stands will adorn a "treats table" in the greater Baltimore area within the next 72 hours.Neat. O.

Valentine's Day will soon be here and where would we be without the onslaught of pink and red? And what kind of crafty lady would I be without making my own contribution? I'm not a huge fan of Valentine's Day. I like the sentiment. I like candy. I like any excuse to go out to dinner. However, I'm definitely of the "why do you need a day?" camp. Also, it makes me sad to think that kids may

My focus will continue to be on items beyond invitations and save-the-dates. I think of "affairaphernalia" when I

I do love a good use of the vellum. Today's use will be a bit of insight in how I like to work! A Bridal Shower: In the example here an image of the event location was reworked to mimic old brick. Our hostess was "in the know" about the bride's colors - chocolate brown & a mossy green. It was important the shower invitation reflect the bride's taste.We chose a textured, brown paper for the

It's wedding season!April is the new October which is the new June. I have so many great new ideas for wedding favors and I can't wait to use them! The example to the left is from a friend's wedding in early 2008.Smack-Talk Snack Mix was the perfect send-off for these newlyweds and their "house divided".Sports-themed "thank-yous" in UGA and Auburn colors flanked custom signage for the table.All

What's all the fuss about?I think it's safe to say anyone can figure out the logic behind invitations and thank you notes.Doesn't an event begin and end here? Of course it does...if you're lying to yourself! Let's not sugar coat our "need" for more, shall we, dear reader? My primary goal is to feed your need! I want you to have stellar items at your event. I want you to be the envy of your
