In the next couple of weeks, Cafe ASTA will be attending two exciting events, one in Toronto and one in Montreal! We have been busy preparing for them (as well as dealing with crazy life and school) which is why we haven't been posting much. We promise though, we will start posting more often and about more! (Steph has a million and one reviews on Wendy's salads she should post, and Angie has been making even more pirate bears. ARRR.)
Next weekend (July 30-31), we'll be at Atomic Lollipop! We're partnering up with our lovelies Yoli-chan and deathofrats sharing a table where we will sell charms, art prints, and maybe do some nail art. (Steph will be bringing her nail stamping kit. Ohohoho)
