Yes, I do!

Gift basket for my friend's wedding

Here you can see their names on the products

An improvised basket that turned out pretty nice!

Since I started selling at Etsy, and by that I mean really selling, and not just having my shop name registered, I've been asked by a lot of people if I make gift baskets. YES, I DO!!!

I love making those. I can custom make them, and print names on the packaging as well, which makes it feel even more special.

The picture you see above is the first basket I put together for my friend's wedding (see pictures of the wedding bellow!). I was in Brazil and because of that I didn't have all the resources I have here. I bought the heart shaped tray/basket at a local market and just finished it with some of my mom's supplies. The lotion's packaging had to be improvised because I couldn't print on fabric there since I didn't bring what I needed with me (you can see the final lotion's packaging at Etsy). But overall, this is one idea for a basket. I'll be working on some new ones for a couple of orders that I already have (from friends) and I'll post new pictures as soon as I have them.

I just started school yesterday and I'll be overwhelmed with the projects I already have and The Studio, but I'll make sure to share it all with you.

4th of July treats

So last week was pretty intense at work(bar) and that lead me to "no energy and time" for much soap and candle making.
I did come up with these little party give away, all natural Melt & Pour soaps, for the 4th of July celebration. They'll be on my etsy shop hopefully by the end of this week (that's the plan!).
Again, they can be done however you want it, in the shape that you want, for your perfect party.

Speaking of 4th of July parties, I was out for a few hours this past Saturday and I took a peak at Club Monaco's new summer collection, for those interested in fashion, and I have to say how much I love every piece. The all white outfits were extremely elegant and crisp, perfect for a summer party. If you think you can get away with it at a barbecue and not get messy, go for it! Otherwise save it for a nice cocktail party (or use one of their spring looks still available online).
