Big Things Are Happening Here...

This week has been wonderful!  Business is steadily picking up (a huge thank you to all my wonderful customers!), so Rustic Silk Soaps is moving into its very own studio!!  This is a big accomplishment for me and I cannot wait for the move to be complete.  I'll be holding a celebratory sale when I'm finally into the new building so stay tuned!

With business booming, I've decided to open up shops in other market places as well as Etsy.  This week, I've opened a shop on aftcra, and am in the process of opening a shop on 11 Main.  This is to branch out and give my customers more power because there are people who don't want to shop on some websites.

Also, this week, I've been soaping up a storm to create all new soaps!  I've made Secret Wonderland dupe (that I have yet to think up a new name for), Honeysuckle, Fresh Strawberries, and Watermelon Lemonade (a problem child).  I also have plans to make at least one batch of soap called Morning Brew today.
 The surprise inside Secret Wonderland dupe.  My jaw literally
dropped when I cut into this loaf.

Secret Wonderland dupe and Honeysuckle waiting to be
unmolded.  Secret Wonderland* is a coconut milk soap while
Honeysuckle is made with carrot juice, raw honey, and
calendula petals.  Both are absolutely fantabulously bubbly!
My latest problem child, Watermelon Lemonade.  As stated,
it accelerated trace really quickly, but I was not prepared
for it to start weeping.  I hope to cut it today.
I've had a busy week this week, as my Etsy sales are now at 187!!  Just 13 more sales before I'm going to hold a huge 50% off sale as a thank you to all of the amazing people who helped Rustic Silk Soaps get to where it is today.  I'm so thankful for each and every customer that shops with me.  You're support has been so amazing over the past year and a half.  I cannot believe just how far my little business has come in such a short time.

Psst!  Don't forget to come visit Rustic Silk Soaps at the Big Fish Bounty event in Canton, MS!  Its at the Canton multipurpose complex on June 27th from 8-6.  See you there!
