Sweet Treats!
Karen and I like to dream big dreams. One of those dreams is that on some fine March 17th, we’ll actually muster enough courage and fortitude to climb out of our nice warm beds to attend a Kegs and Eggs St. Patrick’s Day celebration. We think that it would lend itself to molding and shaping us into more well-rounded individuals. There are, however, problems that surround this endeavor. Like the fact that I find the idea of green beer revolting. Like the fact that I have a serious aversion to the idea of drinking before 8:00 AM (I am the only lady who made it through five years of college at the University of Iowa without tailgating). Like the fact that, if everything went fine and dandy, and we actually DID make it to Kegs and Eggs, through time and history, we have proven again and again that in these types of social situations, we exhibit very little self-control and would probably not be able to swing open the doors of ephemera by 10 AM like the responsible shop girls that we typically are.
So, in the meantime, we dip one little toe in, wiggle it around, and see how it feels. We do this by eating (and serving) Guinness Stout Cupcakes at 10 AM. Yes, yes! It’s happening today! In honor of all things green and Irish-y, we invite you to stop by and start your St. Patrick’s Day preparations a little early.
We have just the thing for you.
Wow! You look really parched! We have just the thing to help quench your thirst!
Juice? Nope.
Fancy glasses? Negatory.
Old Fashioned Stripey Straws in four different colors?!? Yes sir-ee!
Heck yes!
Once upon a time, there was a lovely lady who had dreamt of spending time in a neighborhood where she could deliver little unexpected treats to the shop owners who inhabited it. Once upon a time, she happened across our little nook and we couldn’t be happier about it. Today, what should show up but a little yellow bowl with a little chocolate truffle nestled nice and cozy. For the new year ahead, ephemera sends a simple wish out into the world that everyone should be so lucky…
