Treasury weekend

I am so pleased and surprised that my soaps are included in not one, but two gorgeous treasuries this weekend!

Both include my candied rose petal madeleine cookie soaps and both have a definite French flair.  I am so happy to be included with such beautiful items. 

Un week-end a Paris by whyteboots

 

And La Patisserie by YouBadGirl

Please check out both treasuries and see all the goodies.  Thank you to both YouBadGirl and whyteboots for including me!

This is really a great boost for me because I have been a bit under the weather the past couple of weeks, both mentally and physically.   I worked on some valentine soaps for three weeks and they just never came out right and were an epic fail.  I wasted so much soap experiementing, but that is half the fun of making things. At this point, it's too late for the holiday anyway, but I was really trying to be better about doing holiday soaps this  year. It's funny because I always thought that not having a job would give me more time to make things.  The reality is I just don't have the budget for the supplies without the job, so I'm trying to figure out what I can buy now so that I can keep making things in the meantime!   It's a bit lame because I would love to be using this time to make soap and jewelry all day, but I can't quite do it yet.  I'll figure something out! 

I have also been having some allergy issues due to a very unseasonably warm week where it was almost 70 every day - of course, I can't complain about that!  I hope to get back on track with some non-valentine soaps in the next couple of weeks. 

 

Pink and caramel treasury

I have been very lucky lately and my soaps have been getting into a lot of Etsy treasuries!  I just discovered that my candied rose petal madeleine soaps have been included in a Valentine's inspired Pink and Caramel treasury by Octopurse. 

Please check out the treasury here and thank you Octopurse!

A fresh romance treasury

I just got notified that my pear quince soaps have been included in A Fresh Romance Treasury by EfiaFair!  Yay!

Please check out the treasury here.  Thank you EfiaFair!

 

Patisserie Jolie on SF Indie Fashion!

The other day, I was approached by Lorraine of SF Indie Fashion about featuring my soaps and of course I jumped at the chance!  I just found out that today was the big day.  Please check out the feature "Just Desserts" on SF Indie Fashion here.   A big thank you to SF Indie Fashion for the mention!!

In other news, I am working on some Valentine's Day soaps today that I should have finished soon!

Gingerbread dreams treasury

I was so happy to learn this morning that my gingerbread men soaps have been included in a Gingerbread Dreams treasury!  (They are the second row, third place.) 

Please visit the treasury here.  A big thank you to Indy & Cleo for including me!

Wonderland

A little while ago, I was approached by Irene Hernandez-Feiks about putting some of my jewelry in her new store, Wonderland San Francisco.   I have worked with Irene for several years as a vendor at her very popular Chillin' shows.  Needless to say, I was flattered and excited when she asked and gave her some necklaces and earrings to try on consignment.

Irene has always been very supportive of local designers and artists, so the space is half gallery, half retail shop and it's filled with local designers.  The shop is in an up-and-coming area of the Mission that has been filled with taquerias and panaderias and Latino markets.  It's gorgeous inside and she and her husband are very sweet people, so be sure to check out the store the next time you head down to Humphry Slocombe for some Guinness or Candied Ginger flavored ice cream!

It's a sale!

I've been neglecting my poor Etsy shop for far too long.  So, I've just marked a bunch of soaps on sale!  I am trying to make some room for all new soaps, plus the new packaging I have been working on.  Only $3 each on my Etsy shop or website. 

I also added my hot fudge brownie soap to the Etsy shop.  Yum!

In other news, last night I went to another meetup group get together at the Press Club.  I had thought it was a wine bar, but it was a wine tasting room with 8 different local wineries.  It was interesting because you couldn't get a glass of wine, only tastings.  It was pretty pricey, with tastings ranging from $3-$15 each.   But, it was a really nice place, had a low noise level and there were plenty of $3 tasting choices.  I had arranged to meet with two of the people I met at the last meetup at the Academy of Sciences outing, so I spent most of the time chatting with them and didn't meet too many new people, but it was a good time out. 

Today I have lots to catch up on thanks to avoiding the computer for two days, so back to work for me!

Lip balm tutorial

 

I just posted a tutorial for these fun lip balms on my CraftGossip blog!  Check out the tutorial here. 

I'm always on the lookout for tutorials, new products and everything that's related to bath and body products, so pass along any tips you may have!

Thanks Annie!

Lollishops shop!

I'm so excited!  I have just (finally) set up my Lollishops shop!  It was a lot smoother than I expected and didn't take nearly as long as I had thought it would.  Up for sale are 10 soaps, including holiday scented soaps like rum nut cake and hot cocoa, as well as delicious year round soaps like cherry almondine.

Please visit my shop here.
