Here at Bittersweet, we believe that gift-giving is soulfully received as art. After all, your faithful friend or family member deserves to be the recipient of something as special and dear as they are to you! Our products and artisan collections are wrapped with these thoughts. The early stages of creating a new Bittersweet essential is always considerate of those feelings. We believe that a gift should be treasured and that the soulful fingerprints of a handmade item echo those merry thoughts!
Before Bittersweet ponders a new design those beliefs are always present from beginning to end and I'm proud to be able to say that's my favorite reason for creating.
That manifesto was born twenty-two years ago when Bittersweet was a baby. It's reassuring to know that while most everything changes, some things, the important ones, stay the same.
Every holiday season I discover something new that captures my attention. This season I'm in love with these porcelain houses. When filled with a tea light candle they spread an ambiance and glow that is simple and sweet.
Another favorite wintry favorite essential is preserved cedar. The fragrance cedar is not new to Bittersweet, but it shines brightly for many Christmas's to come as a favorite for holiday decorating. We offer bundles of the unique greenery at our store. I don't want to leave out my all-time favorite holiday decorating essential.
Pine cones! I love pine cone garland! Seriously, no-cost decorating and with a glorious result.
For years I've offered a Body Polish or Scrub in either Olive Oil or Coconut. They're both popular with Bittersweet customers and neither sell faster than the other. It's always interesting to find that inspiration forms from such simple ideas. It's also really cool! I've created a new polish that offers the best of both oil worlds! Introducing a new Bittersweet Polish that is formulated with both olive and coconut oil. The rich blend is one of my favorites to date.
We're getting ready for our Holiday Open House. I'm making sugar cookies and serving a Christmas Punch.
My posts will be short and sweet this time of year because I'm up to my ears in wrapping Holiday Soap!
Lots to share with you this time of year. My next post is all about Holiday Treats!
Keep the faith.
