MADLEY openning party Los Angeles

On December 2nd my great friend Caren celebrated the opeining of her botique MADLEY.
Caren and partner Coryn Madley opened their doors on Abott Kinney in Venice. They sell original designs, vintage and friend's fashions. A great place for one of a kind pieces and whimsical hand crafted jewlery.
I baked some yummy treats for guests to eat while shopping.
Mini molasses cookies, chocolate chip cookies and shortbread.
Along with some mini devil's food cupcakes with fresh goat cheese icing and garnish.
