I thought I would share some of my new lip balms with all of you. Above is a group picture of Orange Sorbet, Lavender Mint, Vanilla Bean, Banana Coconut, and Marshmallow Fluff.
Banana Coconut
Vanilla Bean
Marshmallow Fluff....my favorite!
A few new items in my shop! Above are my Soap Sticks..portable soap! Made out of Goat's Milk, my soap sticks are easy and fun to use. Just push up the soap, and rub on your skin. They are also great for kids to use!
Also new are some new lip balms. Above is my Kumquat lip balm. Kumquats are very similar to oranges in taste.
And last, but not least, my new solid lotion bars! Easy to use and great for "on the spot" moisturizing for your heels, elbows, or anywhere else that needs some extra care. I love to rub in on my legs after I shave!
My sister wanted some English Rose Body Butter, so I ordered some fragrance oils from Bramble Berry. The scent was so heavenly that I decided to make some soap with it! I wish I did not have to wait 4 weeks before I use it. I'm pleased with how they all came out. I crushed Rose Petals all over the top. I know some people do not like dried flowers in their soap, and these will wash off after one or two uses.
I was having problems finding Lye a few months ago. It's not sold in many stores due to the Meth labs that keep popping up here in Missouri. My husband was out running errands and I asked him to stop at a hardware store that I had not checked out yet. I told him I needed lye to make my soap. Well, he tried and I'm now a proud owner of LYE SOAP! LOL! It's a large bar and already has DOS (dreaded orange spots)....yuck!I have my first show this weekend! I'm so excited! It's a 3 day show at the Cool Art/Jazz Festival at Queeny Park. I'm leaving in a little bit to help set up. ShowMeEtsy is a group of Etsy sellers from the St. Louis area. We have a Street Team on Etsy and you can visit our group on our Blog.
