Sweet Notes: Little Love Letters to Chicago, from CakeSpy
Tuesday, September 14, 2010 
So, if you read this site, like, ever, you probably know that the guiding principle of CakeSpy is that I am seeking sweetness in everyday life, and hopefully leaving the world a sweeter place with my work. I know, so cheesy you could die, right?
Well, don't die yet. First, check out these sweet little love-notes I left around Chicago, with hopes that they would sweeten the day(s) of those who found them:
First, Floriole. I was thrilled to hear that these dudes had opened up a retail spot, because I had been delighted by a canelé I picked up at their Farmer's Market booth 2 years ago.
Alas, Floriole was ferme on Lundi! Sacre bleu! Well, I left them a little something to find when they were ouvert again, to let them know I cared. A note, nestled between their outdoor tables, to be discovered by an employee in the morning! (picture of note is at the top of the post)

Second, while browsing some delightful secondhand clothes at The Buffalo Exchange, I thought I might add to the "treasure hunt" aspect of thrifting by hiding a treasure in a handbag for sale.
Of course, anyone who buys an Andy Warhol handbag has good taste, and they should be rewarded, right?

Third, I was struck by the beauty of this gorgeously appointed...storage space? So I left a little note nestled in by the toes of this Egyptian dude. Call it a footnote!

Well, after all of this walking around, some caffeination was in order, and what better spot for a Seattleite to hit up for strong coffee than Intelligentsia? And to say thank you for the totally sweet latte, a totally sweet little note was left on the counter.
Thanks for the totally sweet times, Chicago! Love ya, miss ya! 2 good + 2 be = 4 gotten! (Note: A full bakery roundup to come)

You're awesome...that's so cool. Whoever finds these cute little notes should treasure them...I wonder if they'll post that they found one? That would be pretty sweet!
Now i have to look if they are still there :D

That's awesome Jessie! I wish I'd seen the one at the storage space-I live not far down the street from it!

This is such a cute idea! We travelled across the country back in May and I wanted to do something similar. I was going to leave little cards that said, "Serious Cakes was here" and a link to my youtube videos but hubby said it was silly :P lol-such a brat, now I wish I had! :D
this is so awesome! i wish there were more people like you in the world! I'm planning a trip to Chicago for next summer and can't wait for your round-up of all the places I should go!
