It truly feels like Christmas in July, August at Bittersweet. In between soap making, which by the way is in stable condition! What I mean by that is while summer is a slower time for most retail stores, Bittersweet is busier than ever working on our new season lines, and collating our collections until we get them just the way we want them. It's a hard job, but a fun one at the same time. Every new season that rolls around also grants me the opportunity to get creative and style new prototypes that will line our shop shelves. So the changing of the seasons is an exciting time for that reason and more!
It's funny that I never know before hand what direction I'll be going in when it comes to making new lines. It always seems to just appear, and then once those ideas begin to flow everything falls into place.
Every fall, winter I always say the same thing. This is the best collection that we've offered, and each time that I've said that it's been genuinely sincere, however I do believe this season will top them all!
With all of the everchanging world in which we live in...
I strongly felt that we needed a line reserved to self care. Not just any self care, cut a carefully curated bounty of make me feel better essentials. When it came to ponder a name for this new collection, there was no loss for words.
Sunday Morning...
Perfect, I thought as I gazed upon the hand picked collection of fuzzy pajamas, herbal tinctures and soap, sheep lined slippers, and all of the other pampering essentials that help refresh you.
Bittersweet will offer two new lines for fall into winter. The other one is equally as amazing as the first. Then believe it or not, I'll start working on holiday packaging.
These next few month will blend and mingle with one another as they do every year, and I'm happy to extend some good cheer along the way.
One of the new items we will be offering is an amazing assemblage of Artisan Sari Gift Pouches. Every now and then I happen upon a hand crafted item that blows me away. This is the case or in this instance the bag! Love them to pieces! The recipient of this beautiful bundle of artisan joy will be excited to receive such a treasured gift. After the aromatic soap is gone, the stunning bag will live on and on forever. This is a style of gift that I love...
The colors are rosy mauve and the mood is relaxing...
The scent that was chosen for our Sunday Morning Collection smells amazing! I can't wait for the soap to be completely cured, wrapped and displayed.
Heads will turn and people will talk...
This we know.
We are also beginning to unveil our fall clothing medley. Once again, we're super excited to introduce lines that are crafted with fabrics that feel good and breathe while you're wearing them.
Not it's time for me to start clearing tables and shelves to make room for the fall batches of goodness.
