Sandcastles and Aerial Availabel Now on Etsy!

I know that I've been scarce lately. I'm working on organizing my workshop, packing and processing room, and my product storage spaces. This is a bigger job then I thought!

I know lots of you love Sandcastles and were sorry to see Aerial leave the website and move over to the Custom Shop. So, I made up just a few and added them to my Etsy shop!

Sandcastles was my bestselling scent last year! It is just so incredible and unique. I get emails about it all the time. The same is true for Aerial as well. I worked on that scent for a few weeks, perfecting it. It is breath taking, feminine, and airy...a euphoric vision!

Aerial

Aerial literally means, “existing or living in the air”. This white musk and floral fragrance is so sheer, so airy and light it will whisk you away for a walk in the clouds. In fact, if clouds had a fragrance, this is what they would smell like. Top notes of fresh and sexy White Musk blend into the flawless beauty of delicate white petals and end with an ever so soft blend white tea leaves.

Sandcastles

An extremely unique fragrance that is reminiscent of a vacation beach house windswept with cool fall beach breezes. Not a typical water scent by any means, this scent is fresh, sweet, and dreamlike blend of Coconut, Ginger, and Citrus fruits.

New Valentine's Day Perfumes on Etsy Now!

I have six new Valentine's Day inspired scents and they are all available on Etsy right now! I will be adding them to my website later on in the week as well.

----Crush----

Airy wisps of sugar, hints of ripe blackberry bushes, the mingling of pink candy lollipops and pure vanilla, with just a touch of sheer musk bring visions of the sweet innocence of that first crush on a summer day.

----He Loves Me----

The air is perfumed of early summer wildflowers, lush green grass cooled by the morning dew, and a romantic and soft white musk. The warm sunlight on your face, the sweet floral aroma washing over you as you pluck the last petal...He Loves Me! Notes of: Dew laden Lilac, Orchid, Freesia, Wildflowers, and Musk.

----He Loves Me Not----

The summer day has turned dark, clouds filling the once bright sky. There is only the barest hint of the flower in your hand as you take shelter beneath the towering old trees. The last petal falls to the mossy forest floor...He Loves Me Not. Notes of: Vanilla, Jasmine, Orchid, Dry Wood, and Black Musk.

----Love Puff----

The early days of love may just be the only time you can get away with all of those silly pet names, like "Honeykins", "Love Lumps", "Snookie-ookims", or "Love Puff"! Then again, there is always Valentine's Day! Notes of: Strawberry Drenched White Cake, Marshmallows, Powdered Sugar.

----Pink Chiffon----

If you could smell the color pink, this would be it! Not overly floral but not too much fruit either, the scent is a perfect blend of summer Melons, sweet white floral, and Mimosa. A must try!

----Simple Love----

To honor my twin baby girls, I wanted to create a fragrance to reflect the amazing feeling of being the presence of uncomplicated, perfect, unconditional...Simple Love. A light, airy fragrance of euphoria, gentle and inviting. Like love, this has a delicate nature, yet invokes such powerful emotions. Let Simple Love surround you. Notes of: White Lily of the Valley, Dewy Moss, Pure Vanilla, Pink Jasmine, Mandarin Peel, Sweet Berry, and White Musk.

The Shop is Ready!

Ahhhh, ok everything is done. Well not everything. I still need to do a little this and that to tidy up the shop but all the important updates are finished.

Here's a little rundown on the happenings:

1. The Custom Shop is now open and stocked! Feel free to place your orders!

2. There are six new scents in the Custom Shop all inspired by Valentine's Day, the color pink, warm fuzzies, and love.

3. You can now prebuy soaps that have a scheduled release date! You will see a "Ready Date" for the soap in the soap title. Just note that your entire order will be held until your soap is ready. If you don't want to wait for your order, just come back to the site and order your soap separately.

4. All of the new soaps (well the ones available for PreBuy anyway) are now made with the beloved Pure Butter soap formula! That is right, now you can have your Pure Butter scented! In case you don't know what Pure Butter is...it was my most popular soap of 2008! It is a extra luxurious Spa Soap that I could never seem to keep in stock, despite being unscented!

5. The Custom Shop now has a BIG 8 ounce Body Butter Cream option.

6. Get 10% off your orders in January! Just use JAN10 in the coupon code field in the shopping cart. Offer expires January 31 2009!

Holiday Vacation and Product News

The holidays sure did come and go quickly this year. I guess they always do. We had a wonderful "first Christmas" here with the girls. Even though at 10 months old, they didn't understand the concept of the holidays or gifts, they sure did seem to have fun.



Look for a new Soap Sampler later this month!

I'm putting together a new type of Soap Sampler that I'll have up on the website later this month...sometime around the week of January 12th. It will consist of four "half bars" instead of the Mini Bars I offered in the past. The half bars will be easier to hold and use and will also lather better since there is more surface area to the soap. I'll be putting together these sets with predetermined scent selections. You will be able to choose the set that you would like.

Custom Shop News
I'm running just a little bit behind schedule here. The good news is almost all of the emails that I received during the closure are replied to and I have a good bit of work done on the website. I do need to list some more items in the Custom Shop. I have a few more things to add to the Custom Shop. There are 6 new scents added to the Custom Shop...all in a Valentine's Day theme!

Crush
Airy wisps of sugar, hints of ripe blackberry bushes, the mingling of pink candy lollipops and pure vanilla, with just a touch of sheer musk bring visions of the sweet innocence of that first crush on a summer day.

The summer day has turned dark, clouds filling the once bright sky. There is only the barest hint of the flower in your hand as you take shelter beneath the towering old trees. The last petal falls to the mossy forest floor...He Loves Me Not. Notes of: Vanilla, Jasmine, Orchid, Dry Wood, and Black Musk.

The early days of love may just be the only time you can get away with all of those silly pet names, like "Honeykins", "Love Lumps", "Snookie-ookims", or "Love Puff"! Then again, there is always Valentine's Day! Notes of: Strawberry Drenched White Cake, Marshmallows, Powdered Sugar.

More news to come when I get everything finished up!

Big Soap News and Restocking Sceduale

Wow, the end of the year sale certainly depleted my soap stock! I'm working hard to get it all restocked, but since the handmade soap must cure for at least four weeks, some of the restocks will be just a few more weeks.



Since the Pure Butter Unscented Spa Soap is so wildly popular but so many of you have requested it a scented variety, I've decided to do something a little different! I will be making a large number of the soaps from the Classic Line in the Pure Butter formula! That's right, now you can have your favorite Wylde Ivy scents made with your soap recipe! Look for the Pure Butter formula available in African Vanilla Bean, Creamy Coconut, Electric Berry, Little Shop in Oliva Bella, Salem, Spa Blend, and White Cashmere....and more on the way! I also have two Deli Soaps, Sweet Alpine and Teak that will be released shortly in the Pure Butter recipe.
