It's Beginning to look a lot like Christmas...

Good morning and Happy November!

How did we get here already? 

Since my last post back in August, the new limited edition soaps and scarves have been launched and selling well, I've been delivering to new stockists Maison Royale in Darlington - stocking  beautiful homewares and work from local makers and artists, and I've even squeezed in a little holiday in the Lake District before it all gets too frantic.

These last few months I have also been busy busy busy making up some wonderfully festive soapy bathtime treats for the cold and damp wintery days ahead. Some products have been discontinued to allow time and space to bring these to you, I hope you like them. 

These are available now over on the website and make the ideal gifts for friends, loved ones or even a little treat for yourself. 

NEW for Autumn, 

Top Left - Solid Perfume oils made with pure plant butters, 

nourishing oils, our own Northumbrian honey and beeswax

 and high grade essential oils.

Top Right - Mini Bath Salt Shots gift box. Use them 

individually or cocktail them together for fragrance, 

skin toning and muscle relaxation.

Bottom Left - Triple Whipped Body butters and Exfoliating Sugar Scrubs.

Rich and buttery and incredibly softening and moisturising, 

these are perfect for scrubbing up winter skin in time for party season.

Bottom Right - Luxurious Lip Butters.

Flavoured with essential oils blended with rich, plant butters, 

oils our own honey and beeswax to keep lips soft and kissable all winter.

My Christmas range is also available now on the website, and in my Etsy and Folksy shops too.

With the introduction of the 5p charge for shopping bags back in October in the UK, I've seen sales of my hand printed eco-shoppers soar, They are 100% cotton, and hand screen printed by a friend of mine who has her own design company 'Stitch in Tyne'. They are tough and durable and can hold all your Christmas shopping. Get yours today.

Keep your eyes peeled for a sprinkling of festive special offers being launched on the website and online shops very soon. Find out about them by signing up to my e-mail newsletter, or following me over on Facebook or Twitter - Thank you x

Anyhoo, I think that's about it for news, so I'm taking the opportunity for a few hours rest and relaxation before a very busy 3 days of Christmas fairs this weekend, and every weekend right up to the BIG DAY!! 

I guess I'd better start making my own Christmas lists too, can't forget about that!

Until next time, TTFN

Massage Candles and Luxury bath and Body Oils

          Hi Folks, Today was such a grotty day I decided to make some lovely NEW products.
I've been playing with formulas for 'massage candles' and luxury body oils that can also be used in the bath. I think I've cracked it now and have 4 co-ordinating new products...

         The 100% natural massage candles can be used in a number of ways,

 1 - as a normal candle, burning prettily and giving out it's beautiful fragrance. Very lovely on it's own but you'll be missing out on it's true purpose.

 2 - as a moisturising balm, simply scoop out a fingerful and warm the wonderfully rich butters between your palm and smooth into your arms and legs after a nice warm bath. Very nice and 'treaty' feeling but still not reaching it's full potential.

 3 - As a massage candle - Light the wick and leave to burn for a few minutes until a pool of melted butters develops and the essential oils fill the air. Blow out the flame and then allow the butters and oils to cool slightly. Once they are at a nice temperature, pour into a cupped hand and treat your loved one to a fragrant and relaxing shoulder and back rub, bliss!!

         The bath and body oils are also multi purpose in that you can add them to your bath for a fragrant and beautifully moisturising bath and / or stroke them directly onto your skin. They absorb best on warm damp skin, retaining the maximum amount of precious moisture and locking it in to the skin's deeper layers. I will be listing them onto my website very soon, I hope you are going to like them...I know I do.

TTFN....more new goodies coming soon xxx
