In the kitchen cupcake towels by Baby Deary

These are towels that can be used anywhere, especially in the kitchen! The crocheted butterfly pins give the cupcakes such a new beginning feeling! When I think of butterflies, I think of this quote: "Just when the caterpillar thought the world was over, he became a butterfly!" I have had many people buy the cupcakes as gifts for housewarming & engagement parties! Here's to new beginnings!
