Look what Indy made!

This is one of our new items for the month of June.
A great way to show off your child's art work, school report, etc.

Wooden base with magnetic backing so it can be stuck on the fridge.
It comes in a range of colour tones, Pinks, Blues, Greens, Yellows, Purples, and can be created for either a girl or a boy. On this one I have used chipboard letters and shapes.

The last day of the month!

Wow isn't time just flying by at the moment. Today is the last day of May and the last day of Autumn. Winter will be upon us as of tomorrow.

The start of June brings us all closer to the end of the financial year here in Australia so its time for me to spend a few hours getting more sale items together as well as getting photos of more new handmade items that I have been creating.
These are some more soaps I have created over the last few weeks.

Cocoa Butter Bars.
They are a beautiful pink colour and can either come plain or with a victorian pattern on them.



















































Their fragrance is Love spell.

Goats Milk Soap

I Love these soaps. Goats Milk is amazing on your skin.

Kids Bath Jelly

I have been busy experimenting with a new product that I tested on our grandson and our godson :) I must say the boys loved their bath in this fantastic bath jelly.

Each tub contains 125grams of bath jelly and come with is a screw on lid.
I do suggest that if you are not using it all in one bath then place the bath jelly in he fridge for next time.
Just click on the picture above or CLICK HERE to go to the store to get yours today.

Winter is here

I know its only May and Winter isn't official until June but my goodness its cold already. Where did our beautiful sunshine go? I have a slight cold but hey thats no big deal. The big deal is that I have been making CP (Cold Processed) Soap and they are turning out a treat.

There are lots of babies being born this year in our ever growing family so I have decided that its time to get up and create some gift baskets that will have natural soap, baby cream, baby lotion and a few bits and bobs added aswell.

I just need some good lighting either inside or out so that I can take these photos. Unfortunately the last lot of photos I took the bath bombs ended up looking blue instead of Seafoam green :o(

Beautiful Palm Candles are here

Palm wax is an all-natural, renewable resource that is obtained from the oil palm in well managed and regulated estates. The oil palm produces fruit in bunches which are harvested and sent to palm oil mills to undergo extraction, sterilization, clarification and purification. The crude oil is then sent to palm oil refineries where it is processed further into products such as cooking oil, shortening, cocoa butter substitutes, non-dairy creamers, soaps, and of course everybody’s favourite – Palm Wax.

We are dedicated to offering the best products at the best prices, BUT NOT at the expense of any living creature or the environment. We have sourced and have insured that our supplier of palm wax is partnered with a member of the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil. This organization was founded by the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) and heads of government and industry involved in palm cultivation. The RSPO was founded to develop and define best practices for sustainable palm cultivation, and then help member organizations to implement and verify the procedures.

We are very proud to offer this product to our customers as a sustainable, non-genetically modified alternative to other waxes.

I really haven't been slack

Well maybe a little slack on blogging but as you can see below I think I can b e forgiven as I have been a busy girl creating our range of candles. It's still a small range but one that is growing and growing. With a bit of trial and error I have created a range of votives in Soy and Bees Wax and I must say I am very pleased with them :)

These are plain white votives and have a slight hint of Honey to them (because of the small amount of bees wax put into them to help them release from their moulds. And one of our newest fragrances is Fresh Coffee...if your a coffee addict like me you are sure to love them.
You can now find these in our store.
