melt my heart.....

I have to say I am having some trouble keeping up with this year (and my emails, and my mobile messages, and my blog!!!!!!), but I have managed to squeeze out a new version of my very popular fragrant soy melts.

I have been making little individual melts for markets and will continue to make these as people can mix and match to their hearts content, but I feel these guys will make it easier for any retail outlets to sell and display.

I have also scored some yummy new fragrances (it's like an addiction I tell you!!), that I can't wait to try out at the markets and get some feedback.

Lavender Vanilla: an earthy, musky blend of herbal Lavender flowers teamed with the soft overtones of Vanilla. A soft, subtle fragrance, that reminds me of an old fashioned linen cupboard with crisp, starched linen and the aroma of yesterdays.
Mulberry Tree: a fruity, berry blend with cherries, apples, peaches, strawberries and tangerines, and a hint of vanilla. You can almost see the purple mulberry stains on your fingers!

Lime Spritzer: this tropical citrus and fruit blend begins with notes of tart lime, refreshing orange and crisp apple. The fruity floral heart is a rose and black currant fading to a sweet vanilla plum.

I've made up some of the new melts with these fragrances but haven't had a chance to do too much else.

I am back at the Civic Homespun Markets this Saturday (13th) from 10am till 3pm and am looking forward to catching up with the other stall holders and chatting to the people coming through.

See you there!!

Quick entry.....more later!

Apologies for not writing any entries for some time - been crazy busy (and a pinched nerve in there somewhere too!).

Just wanted to get a quick write up about a new product I have going into Ruby Pear as of tomorrow.
I have been wanting to do these up for some time, but have never gotten to them until now - don't know why really, as they are simple and fun to create.
These are Soy Wax Melts (apologies for the lousy picture!! I hope Rachael of Ruby Pear can take some nicer ones for me!) - you use them in essential oil burners (the ones that use tea lights to heat) in place of the water and essential oils. The great thing is that they don't dry out and you can just keep using them until the fragrance fades. I've guestimated that these little ones should last for something like 10 hours per melt! Even though they are so small, they are not in direct contact with flame (like a candle) and so last longer fragrance wise.
I had fun making them up with lovely pale colours to match the different fragrances I used - Vanilla (white), Lemon Verbena (pale yellow), Vintage Rose (pale pink), Blackberry & Sage (pale green)and Amber & Lavender (pale blue).
Hope they sell well!
