Just one of the amazing creations of Have It Sweet Confections

 

I will confess, I honestly thought Mother’s Day was the 20th this year. Why I thought it would be on a Wednesday is a mystery. I’m chalking this up to my sugar-free diet and not my slipping grasp on reality. Ahem. Swimsuit season is the devil—it makes you forget things and utter profanities, like “diet” and “sugar-free” and “No, no dessert for me!” 

Anyhow, Mother’s Day is this weekend and all you last minute people. . .  yeah, it’s probably too late to buy online. Unless, of course, you don’t mind perpetuating your reputation of always being late. I suggest flowers and a nice card and making sure you comb your hair for the occasion. I also suggest leaving yourself a couple hundred post-it notes for next year. If the road to hell is paved with good intention, then surely, the road to heaven is paved with post-it note reminders. 

In the meantime, my little brain leak means I won’t be posting a “last minute” gift guide today. Oops. Never fear, though—I’ve got the goods, all inspired by my raging sweet tooth. Why did I go on a diet again? Oh yea, swimsuit season.

 

The Best of Etsy — 6 May 2009 — The “I’ll Take Mine Sweet” List

 

Sweet tooth? I won’t tell if you hide these in your private stash and refuse to share. They’re THAT good! 

I know you say you don’t like pink. Unless, you’re Liza Lee. But face it–there’s this secret girly side you hide oh so well. And it craves this. 

Ok, so you said no to dessert tonight and every night for the past week. You deserve a reward. One you won’t eat, but just as sweet! 

I know you’re hungry. . . but I’m pretty sure you shouldn’t eat this. No matter how delicious it smells.

Ooh, ooh. Yet another fabulous find from Sweet Tooth Vintage! 

Rachel Ballard’s photography is like walking through a candy shop.  

And finally, a bit of whimsy. A bit of sugar you won’t be tempted to eat! 

 

That’s this week’s list. I’ll be back on Twitter next week with lots amazing new finds. Until, I hope you find something ever so sweet!
