Artisan of the Week - The Cakery Fakery

The Cakery Fakery is an Etsy shop that makes beautiful 'fake' cupcakes - or what they call 'cupfakes'! I love their tag line: "All fun, no fat!"

Made from a variety of materials including polymer clay, spackle, charms and real cupcake liners, these delicious creations can be used as photo props, paperweights or home decor.

Some of my favorites are shown below:

Inspiration

I get inspiration from browsing through bookstores, thrift stores, antique shops and traveling. Here are some pictures from my latest 'inspiration treks'

These were in the garden of a historical home that I toured.


On the wooden garage doors at the former Phoenix home of Cindy & John McCain (yes, the John McCain who ran for president against Obama.)


The paint had long faded on these doors at the crumbling remains of a hotel in the 'ghost town' of Jerome, Arizona.

Colorful vintage women's handkerchiefs in a Phoenix antique mall


Vintage metal cigarette set - holder, ashtray and lighter


Vintage fabrics, linens and aprons


Details on the neckline of a beaded dress I bought at a local thrift store
