alternate universes and other pleasures

So I'm running some errands and stop to grab birthday cupcakes from our local-ish bakery and look what I found. Felt like I stepped off the edge of the world and fell Allison Wonderlike into some alternate universe, probably closest to it's North Pole (assuming they had one). I don't really swoon for sweet, feminine digs but holy cow, who could fail to be a little bit charmed by this place. I'm also pretty Scroogy about holiday music and decorations this soon after Halloween but I have to admit to a moment of euphoria while listening to Johnny Mathis sing Silver Bells (or maybe it was Neil Diamond? I'm a lost cause) while I slurped chai tea and gobbled down an apple cupcake with whipped cream cheese icing. Definitely a place to bring your favorite kid (young or old). I don't know if it was all the sugar or the Pennsylvania Bakery's magic but I floated right out of town dazed and content, mooning all the way over the gorgeous old trees that are everywhere you look. (Yikes! Driving under the influence of trees...).

Wishing you a cozy day with a little sweetness and hopefully a nice cup of something warm and spicy. :)
