Hannahmade Modern Goods: October 2013

So if you follow me on Pinterest, you would know that I have been on bakery & coffee shop pin overload! Well in case you were wondering why...it has been a dream of mine for a little while now to open my own bakery/cupcake/coffee shop. I never thought I would use my business degree, but now I'm thinking it may be a possibility. I love baking, love coffee, and I've always thought it would be fun to work at or own a coffee shop. So why not do it all at once...most of the time when you drink coffee or eat a cupcake you want the other with it right? I've been to several cute coffee shops and passed some bakeries here in Australia that have inspired me. I have also been baking for the canteen at youth on Friday nights and they have been encouraging me to bake more and sell it. For now I still just bake for church, but one day I would love to open a real bakery! Here are just a few pins that have given me some ideas of what I would like mine to look like one day.

As you can see I really like the vintage, rustic look with a bit of a shabby chic twinge. I mean how can a bakery with cupcakes not look a little chic? I like the chalkboard walls, distressed furniture, worn brick, vintage items on a shelf, old barn-wood, mismatched chairs, plants, and almost like organized chaos.

So September has been a pretty full-on, but fun month! It started out with our anniversary in the 10th followed by my birthday on the 19th (we really celebrated that whole week). We've stayed very busy with everything going on at work, school, & church. We did manage to make enough time for a much needed beach trip. I've got a few pictures that I wanted to share from this month.
