New Website

Well, I am finally taking the plunge and having a website designed!  I have hired a creative web designer from Etsy and she is working with me on the design.  The website will be tuckerhilldesigns.com.  It'll be a lot of hard work from writing the script to taking pics, etc.  But I hope the end will be worth all the effort.  So check back soon, folks!  Tuckerhilldesigns.com coming to a computer near you!

Scarecrow Festival in Chappell Hill

I am going to have a booth at the Scarecrow  Festival in Chappell Hill, TX on October 8 and 9.  Should be fun.  Hopefully not so hot!  I'll be right on Main Street, just south of Providence.   Hope you can stop by!

Here's a pic of perfume I am making.

More Adventures in Soap!

Well, got through the Chappell Hill Lavender Festival - it went well.  Hotter than heck, but we lived!  Had a large attendance, people are such troopers in the heat!  Here is a pic of some sugar soap in coconut milk and a pic of soap in Lemon Verbena.  These soaps contain sugar which adds loads of lather and light exfoliation.  Super cool, if you ask me.  I've gotten good feedback on this soap and hope to actually sell some soon!  If you have a chance, stop by my store at tuckerhilltx.etsy.com.

New - Sugar Scrub Soap!

Been fooling around again in the kitchen.  Have you ever heard of Salt Bars?  They are soap with salt in them that are exfoliating.  Since I already do sugar scrubs, I thought I would do a Sugar Bar!  Mixed my all natural soap with sugar and voila!  A sugar bar!  Very gentle on the skin.  Sugar provides all kinds of benefits for the skin.  Take a look and tell me what you think!

Lavender Festival

It's finally here!  Tomorrow, Saturday, at 9:00 at the Chappell Hill Lavender Farm.  Too bad it's hotter than hades out there.  It's hot every August, but it is extreme this year.  Hope to have a good turnout, anyway.  Got everything set up and ready to go today and will be out there early tomorrow with my beautiful assistant, my niece Leigh.  Come visit my booth.  Would love to see you there!

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!
