Today I received a belated birthday present from one of my oldest friends.  She is creative and amazingly talented when it comes to making things.  Plus she knows me really well, well enough to know I would love a handmade cupcake bracelet! I just had to share this with everyone!

I have fallen in love with this necklace from Lucius. 

This Sterling Silver necklace is handmade by a Chicago artist. 

This is a cupcake necklace you could get away with wearing to work.

Lucius offers this pendant with a 16″ or 18″ double rolo chain and toggle clasp. It measures approximately 1″W x 1.3″H and costs $85.  (With free shipping to US and Canada!)

I love birthdays which is probably why I like cupcakes so much, since the two go hand-in-hand.   I also love when it turns July, which is my birthday month, and the snail mail begins to arrive.  Today I came home to find a little padded envelope from Anthropologie, one of my favorite stores.  Inside was a flat cardstock card that read as follows

“Happy Birthday! Make a wish…And treat yourself to something special! Use this card for 15% off your total store purchase any day in July.  Your candle necklace is for you to keep.”

Attached to the card was a little candle necklace atop a perforated cupcake! Anthropologie really knows how to make a cupcake lovers birthday!
