Featuring LusciousLather!


FEATURING LUSCIOUSLATHER


Today's feature is on http://lusciouslather.etsy.com. Just click on the title of this post to be taken to her shop! She has AMAZING soaps, foaming bath whips, facial bars and fabulous jewelry too. I have some of her soaps and they smell, well, Luscious! The name definitely fits the product. Not only is she a talented soap maker, but she's a wonderfully sweet person too. We met on CAST (Christian Artists Street Team) and I'm proud to call her FRIEND.

Here's some of her profile on Etsy:

I have been making soaps and lotions for about 14 years now and just love it! It is such a creative passion for me. There is just something so appealing to me about stirring up a big bowl of soap and planning out the colors, fragrances and designs. I always have such fun!

I enjoy many other creative pursuits such as watercolors, pottery, writing, paper-making, cooking and baking. I also love reading, gardening and traveling.

Be sure to check out her shop at http://lusciouslather.etsy.com.

Soap Savers!



I recently started making soap savers, and within the first day of listing them, I sold 4! I have them in several colors, including the ones above. You put your soap inside and close the drawstring... then wash yourself with it! You can also take those slivers of soap and put them inside and use it, no more waste! Great for "going green". My friend http://lusciouslather.etsy.com has soaps that work wonderfully in them, check out her shop. Her soap is shown in the pics above as well. Check out my shop and my new soap savers! http://mattscraftywife.etsy.com.

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year! I hope you all have a great 2009!

I have started taking down children's items and have a few others on clearance. As of February 2009 I can't sell them anymore due to a new law that's really vague in it's allowances. It says all children's items must be tested for lead, but so far it hasn't excluded clothing or blankets, so until there is some clarification, I won't be carrying anything of that nature.

So, for 2009, I'm focusing my attention elsewhere. I have ideas and I have a few things made but not listed yet. Right now, Valentine's Day items are first thing I want to do. As of later today, I'll be listing some new items related to the Holiday of Love!
