something special

Last year I made a couple hundred mini cupcakes with my logo stamped in the top to give away at the Lucketts Antique Market. I knew I wanted to bring something special to give to customers who come to my booth again this year, but I also knew I didn’t want to be baking until […]

Say hello to “Shutter Gray”

I’m so excited to introduce the first color in Miss Mustard Seed’s Milk Paint line…”Shutter Gray.” So, maybe you’re wondering why I’m calling it Shutter Gray.
