Named after one of the four elements this soap is a wonderful citrusy scent. It contains lemon and bergamot essential oils. The color is a shimmery pearly white. Soap is approximately 32 ounces.

The Lemon essential oil in this soap smells like a fresh sliced lemon without a cleaning product scent. Lemon is thought to help with concentration and to reduce cellulite. This highly astringent oil helps oily skin and hair.

The Bergamot essential oil is a fresh and fruity citrus oil has a sophisticated and uplifting scent. Bergomot has antiseptic properties and is sometimes used as a skin astringent.

It's that time of year...

Craft show season wheeeeeeeee!

I got invited to do a farmer's market a few weeks ago. Unfortunately I had to turn it down since it is outdoors and my soaps etc will melt in the sun.

Last night I got another invite to another craft fair. I'm going to go for this one. I can get an indoor spot for $35. But the money has to be there by 10/15. I emailed the lady back asking if I could pay that via paypal instead of check since I was worried the check wouldn't get there by then. It's in Hudson (around Crystal River/Dade City/San Antonio area). A 35 mile hike. It will be worth it. I just need to get my name out there more. So projects on my radar for the next few weeks are finishing up making peach lip balm, strawberry lip balm, and wild berry lip balm. Making more Amber Dreams soy candles. Pineapple candles and lotion bars. Strawberry jam candles and lotion bars (complete with red glitter for the holidays!).

I need to hit the lottery so I can afford to make a ton of stuff LOL

Right now running a special on the Etsy site. All candles $3 through 11/18. I've had the sale running for a few weeks but no takers yet. I'm thinking everyone is holding their money for closer to the holidays.

I also purchased a mailing list and had postcards mailed out to 100 people. Those were mailed out mid-September. No nibbles yet.

It will all happen when I least expect it. That much I know. Success isn't something that happens overnight. You have to bust your ass to get there.

One of the other things I've signed up for is a business card trading group on Etsy. This way when people there sell something they will include my card in the purchase. Helps us all get more exposure. I'm taking my huge biz card holder with me to the craft show to display my cards and the other cards people have sent me.

Another great compliment ...

I belong to an online group and once a month we get together to hang out. I always carry my business cards along with what I call my "snake charmer basket". It has one of each of everything I carry. (With my line expanding every day I'm going to need a bigger basket! LOL) I found this message waiting for me this morning on the boards:

"If you go to the gathering, can you please bring some more tea light candles? (Sorry, I know this isn't the venue for candle sales, lol, but they are really terrific!)"

Sometimes it's the little things that just make you feel good!

Some of the great items ...

from fellow Etsy-ians:

The greatest compliment...

is what I got yesterday from my son's daycare director who is candle crazy:

"I lit the candle and within 5 minutes my whole house smelled like it (strawberry jam). Can you make the big jar candles for me like they carry at Wal-mart?"

I found HUGE jars yesterday. 28 ounces. I'm going to now be selling soy jar candles it looks like. Pricing will be $30.

If you want to know what candles she was talking about:
Strawberry Jam Candles

I also have matching soap with red glitter:
Strawberry Jam Soap

Her other purchases from me were Sandalwood Vanilla, and Sea Breeze.

I have 2 friends who will be walking in our 3 Day Walk in October. They have asked me to donate, but unfortunately with money so tight for me I am unable to. However, I let them know that if I sell any of the following items I will give them ALL of the proceeds.
