This has probably been all over the design blogs I no longer have time to read, but still. A cupcake stand. A CUPCAKE STAND! Can life get any better?

“ There are actually very few foods about which I am overly fussy. Coffee, salad, bread and chocolate is pretty much it when it comes to making a list of things I am almost absurdly pernickety about. Where I am normally happy to tuck into pretty much anything if I am hungry enough, these are the things that I will avoid unless they are absolutely as I like them to be. It is not that I am set in y ways, more that I would rather not drink a cup of coffee, say, unless it is perfect, and the same with bread. In matters as simple as these, I just don’t see the point of putting up with second best.

“ I wanted to sit down in the middle of the road and stay there for the rest of my life. Whenever someone came by and said, Hey, Cecilia, what’re you doing in the road, I’d tell them, missing people was a full-time job, being sorry about what was gone was going to take every waking minute, so much time and energy that I had no choice but to stay right on that spot until they all decided to come back. I meant it as a joke at first, but then I looked down at the gravel and I really thought about it. I couldn’t wait for them. They weren’t coming back. I’d been trying all my life to figure out what was going on,…But now I wanted to forget. Right then I decided, as much as I’d wanted to know before, from here on out I didn’t want to know at all.
