Yesterday afternoon I spent a good part of the day addressing and stamping the seven-hundred Autumn Market invitations. I did however welcome a break and worked on some new soap packaging and made another pinnie. My plan was to have the pinnie's on Vintage Two, and have several to offer during the Market event, but I have been selling them in the Saturday Studio, and have not been able to keep up with supply and demand.
I absolutely love this style and pattern of apron! I'm planning on offering the pattern on Vintage Two, but it may be awhile before I get around to that. The pattern is a 1960's pattern my friend Sharon shared with me from her vintage apron pattern stash. Sharon, thanks for the wonderful care and share apron pattern.
I used some vintage style feed sack fabric to make this pinnie, and then trimmed it in ivory eyelet. It will only be hanging around in the studio for a short time, as I know someone will fancy Miss Pink Daisy and take her home.
I have began wrapping the third holiday soap, Velvet Spice. The wrapping is simple, but yet different than most soap wraps. I like the look! It's festive wrappings will bring cheer and aromatic pleasure to the recipients.
I also designed some new wrappings for the lavender mint soap. Most soap companies stick to the same packaging. I enjoy scrap booking the soap. I am constantly on the look out for different looks, designs, textures, materials to package soap.
French Wrap...
I'll be mixing up some fresh batches of Foo Foo Daisy Par-fum Spray. Do you like that name? That's a name that was chosen by the winner of Bittersweet's Name this Soap contest. I used to have the contests at the boutique. It became quite a contest! People were scrambling in to smell the soap, and write the name that they thought fit the fragrance. An 11 year old thought up the name Foo Foo Daisy. As soon as I heard it, I knew that was the name for the new soap. Since that time, my manufacturer has discontinued the fragrance. Wouldn't you just know that would happen! I have just enough fragrance stashed to make body sprays, but not enough to make soap.
I had made body sprays for Saturday Studio, but sold out last Saturday. Get them while they last, as they will be gone forever!
Lastly, a stack of vintage style cards. I am reproducing the cards and selling them on Vintage Two. Again, not sure when, but soon. The stack of cards contains a variety of vintage style 1940's/50's note cards.
Don't forget the Pretty In Pink Bittersweet Giveaway through the month of Happy October.
Enjoy caring and sharing days.
Happily,
