The best part, besides the cheese plate and cupcakes and wine, had to be the door prizes! Every 30 minutes some lucky gal (or guy) got a fabulous gift. To my disbelief, I actually won something.
AmeliaBeth makes these gorgeous rings, pendants and cufflinks from Scrabble Pieces. You can browse her jewelry on her Etsy site linked to her name above.
Of course I could not leave without purchasing something from Diamonds and Guns by Action Jackson.
I loved every piece, and thanks to the wine that had loosened up my wallet, I picked this darling locket necklace.
Ok, let's move on to the fabulous cupcakes, wine and cheese plate. Words aren't needed here - just mouth-watering pictures.
You can stop drooling now and make sure you fan The Cupcake Bar on Facebook for the next event.

That cheese plate looks fantastic! I love that locket that you bought!! :)
Funny, I was going to write very nearly the exact same thing as Dana! Great minds think alike!
(Cheeeeeeeeeeese...)
Thanks ladies! I've been dreaming of that cheese plate too. Anytime either of you want to partake in devouring it, let me know!
