The weekly planner is beginning to fill, and the fall, winter soap manufacturing has begun! It's hard to imagine holiday thoughts in July, but Bittersweet wraps ourselves in cinnamon, pear, clove, and vanilla this time of year in preparation for the upcoming holidays. For a soap manufacture and a shop that makes a lot of their inventory, you can never be too far ahead in time. In the winter we work on spring, and in the summer we work on winter. That's how it's been for twenty-four years! You get a feel for it after awhile, and I've learned to appreciate the prelude.
What's your favorite color? Chances are you have several pieces in your closet that reflect your favorite color. I'm a winter, so I look good in black and browns, rust and greens. However, it can get tricky with the tones. Even though certain colors compliment your skin tone, some can be just a shade off and not be. What color are you? I made these cards a few years ago thinking it would be fun to explore the color charts at Bittersweet.
The Herbal Bug Spray smells amazing! It smells so good that I'm using it in the store as a room spray. I love any scent that's herbal.
Our cotton and linen collections are breezy and cool. Pair a linen top with denim cut-offs or cuffed jeans to complete a carefree summer look. We love carefree!
Ever since the shutdowns and time spent more at home I've come to realize just how much comfort appeals to me! Those thoughts are definitely reflected in my buying for the shop. You know that you can still look amazing, and be comfy at the same time! That's my new motto! Our new fall line mirrors those thoughts. We're in love with our fall collection and can't wait to begin sharing in a month or so!
My living room and dining room are stuffed full of hydrangea! I have over one-hundred candy colored stems that I'm drying. I'm going to use the dried flowers to create Bo-ho bouquets. We offer the artisan bouquets at Bittersweet. I can't wait to drop hydrangea into the picks! We will even create autumn bouquets of bunny tales, and plume grass.
I have always loved bath accessories! Nowadays, there are so many to choose from. I like to think of a bath accessory as a little assistant. The brushes, cloths, and mitts enhance the experience of bathing. I'm always on the look-out for new things to try. When I try something for the first time I'm typically skeptical, but have been pleasantly surprised and have marveled over the modern accessory lines that are available today. A micro-fiber face cloth was one of those items that after using I actually said out loud, Wow! Who knew? I didn't, but was impressed with how they removed my makeup with ease.
We created some amazing new body fragrances yesterday. If you dropped by the shop you more than likely witnessed us having a really good time while we were sniffing and blending at the Scent Your Own.
The soap is wrapped and the shop is well stocked with your favorite apothecary.
It's peachy!
