Busy Bee!

Been busy last few months.  Getting ready for the Chappell Hill Lavender Festival next weekend, the 13th.  I'll have bath bombs, reed diffuser oils, perfumes, body spray mist, lotion, massage oil for sale!  Should be hot but busy!  Stop by if you get a chance.  Only about an hour from Houston out 290!

We have a new look.  Colors are now black and white.  I finally have an Etsy banner - here it is.  What do you think?  Kinda blurry here for some reason.

I have a new wholesale customer for my sugar scrubs.  Very excited.  Working on that order now.  Everyone who tries my scrubs (so far as I know) loves them. 

I have joined the Etsy Treasury Team.  Lots of fun - treasuries are fun to create.  Get more exposure that way.  Members of the team must create treasuries using other members' items.  I think I have had more traffic on my site since then.  Also a member of the Etsy Out Of The Box Sampler Team.  I sent out samples of various products in May.

Hope everyone is having a great summer!  It's hotter than heck, but it may soon be over, for this year.  Come on, cold fronts!

Lavender Festival at Chappell Hill Lavender Farm

This year the annual Lavender and Wine Festival is August 13, 2011 at the Chappell Hill Lavender Farm!  Lots to see and do - lots of vendors selling unique handmade items.  Also check out the farm's gift shop - plenty of items there, too! Tucker Hill will have a booth there offering all kinds of bath, body and home fragrance goodies.  The lavender farm is in Brenham just off Route 1155.  Check out the farm's website at chappellhilllavender.com.  The farm is about an hour drive from Houston - just go out 290 west - turn right on 1155 at the Chappell Hill stop light (you can't miss it - it's the first stop light on 290 from Houston and there is a Rustler's at the corner with a Burger King).  Stay on 1155 until it ends - turn right - drive about 2 miles and turn left on Dillard Road.  The farm is down a few hundred yards on the right.  There will be signs directing you - you won't get lost!  We would love to see you there!

More Sugar Scrub Cubes

Try our Lavender  Honey!  It's so delicious smelling!  It's like smelling every flower in the world, plus a little lavender zing.  And they are so pretty!  But we may be a little prejudiced!

Bath Bombs That Don't Hurt!

We have been busy and making bath bombs.  We are interested in providing moisture to normal or dry skin.  Our latest concoction is a foaming bath bomb in the scent, Coconut Milk.  Smells like tropical coconut - very smooth!  Drop it in the bath and watch it fizz and foam.  Won't leave a bathtub ring or make the tub slippery.  Let us know what you think!

Soap and More Soap!

Take a look at our latest creation!  Rudi's Dream Soaps Simply Herbal Parsley Soap!  So organic looking!  All of our soaps are all natural and detergent free.  Plus they smell heavenly, if we do say so ourselves.  Let us know what you think!

Soap - Got Skin?

So now we have moved on to soapmaking!  Quite an adventure, but we'll survive.  I hope!  We are making soaps under the name Rudi's Dream Soaps.  Here is one of our first efforts, Coffee and Cream.  Smells delish - and leaves your skin fresh and soft.  We have also created a yummy Lime & Cilantro soap! Our soaps are all natural and detergent free.  A treat for the skin! Visit our Etsy page at rudisdreamsoaps.etsy.com!

Etsy Out Of The Box Sampler Team

Trying to stay busy!  I joined the Out Of The Box Sampler Team on Etsy!  People can order sample boxes of products and creators like me can send out samples to the Sampler Team for distribution to people who order these sampler boxes!  Cool way to get my name out there, and hopefully people will like my products!  I have been busy creating a new look for my products.  Working on labels or, rather, they are working on me!  Always a challenge to get these to look right.  What do you think?
