Gen passed along this gem of a retailer from Etsy...cutecups. This Singapore-based retailer ships to the US for only $5, and has a wide selection that includes candy cups, glassine bags, colored ties and much more. Check out all of the variety right here.
It seems vintage cupcake toppers are the new thing. I raved about it first at this cowboy birthday party, then loved seeing it in Winter Wonderland form here, then spotted it yesterday at yet another cowboy birthday here! (Be sure to check out the cute napkin display idea at the cowboy birthday).
Many times kitsch is tacky, but sometimes kitsch can be fun! Particularly for parties. I pulled some of my favorite old school cupcake toppers from Etsy. Curious George, stork, record players, beer cans, boom boxes and bowling toppers from ThePeach; vintage Santa cupcake picks from GrowHome; ballerinas and strawberries from sweetpoppy; and white birds from theCandyShoppe.
