Review: The Herbal Bath beauty

Image
Loving my all natural beauty products from @theherbalbath ๐ŸŒฟ the Sweet Pea and Orange Creamsicle goat milk soap use fresh goat milk from their local farm in TN. ๐ŸPerfect right now after a difficult week for me. I am in love with the vanilla scent from the sugar scrub! Time to treat myself to this book and handmade goodness ๐Ÿ’— . The set I was gifted filled my chest with orange blossom goodness. - a Sweet Pea sample of goat milk soap - orange creamsicle goat milk soap soap https://theherbalbath.com/herbal-bath-store/orangecreamsiclesoap/ -orange creamsicle whipped sugar scrub The vanilla sugar scrub sent me to Heaven. I couldn't stop inhaneling in. It worked up a smooth lather on my face, a gentle cleanser to follow up with a serum or moisturizer. Her products are gloriously good, the claim she has on her beautiful packaging. Sweet Pea is something I call people in my small town. This sample is rightly named, a bright sweet pea fragrance that leaves your s...

Autumn Fairy Bookmark Collection

Image
Aside from my poetry I also run an Etsy shop where I sell poetry necklaces, vintage books, and just recently these pretty bookmarks. For the last week of December I am running a 20% off sale everything in my book shop. On January 1st, I will have new listings for these magical Autumn Fairy bookmarks. The scarlet autumn leaves have serrated edges, speckled with carnialian crystal chips. The cicada wings were harvested in the summer, naturally, the creatures molt and leave their bodies behind with irredescent wings still attached. These winged key bookmarks go fast - I only have one bronze winged key left. Who will be the last keeper of the keys? One year has passed on Etsy and I am so excited to see how my shop blossoms. I have a lot of creativy energy that I want to funnel into my shop, I feel like I'm following my purpose as an artist after so much heartache.

Yarn Haul: Alpaca

Image
70% Alpaca, 30% Merino made in the U.S.A. 200 yards of rose grey and white. It's the first organic fiber I've pulled through my fingers, surprised at how lightweight and warm it is. This would be the perfect yarn for the Gwendolyn Cowl by Living Skies. Yet, I long to know what this would feel like around my skinny legs. I failed to measure the first time and my first leg warmer was too short, I wanted it up to my thigh. (You can look at the leg warmers I make at my Etsy Store.) Now I'm beginning to wonder if its too long! These would also be very costly for leg warmers. Each skein cost $16. But they are handmade, each moment measured in simple textures that shield you from the cold. They stay in place with an elastic. Lovely long lines, I'm just obsessed with the ribbed stitches. I have two designs: the faux diamond cable and the "circus doll "look.
