iCraft.ca

Recently, Southamptoncreations made me aware of a new site where independent artists can display their work for sale. It's called iCraft.ca, and right now you can sign up for a "showcase" free for one year before April 30th.
Yes, if you sign up before April 30th and list at least one item they will waive the $25.00 annual fee for the first year as well as all fees involved in selling!

iCraft.ca is an outlet that those who sell their hand-crafted items may want to check into. The site is designed to allow crafters to sell their work. There are also a message board, an events calendar, and a number of great content-related articles.

Though this is a relatively new site, from what I can see there are quite a few people over there already.

I have set up a showcase there and added just a few items right now, but the process can be made fairly simple by opening a window for your Etsy shop and one for your iCraft.ca showcase and using "copy / paste" to add your items.

You can check out my iCraft.ca showcase here - http://www.icraft.ca/crazytimescandles

Jewelrybytiti has a more full showcase here as an example - http://www.icraft.ca/jewelry_by_titi

If you sell, at least go check iCraft.ca out! Hey, it's free...

Enriched with a large amount of organic unrefined shea butter, this cream moisturizes, softens, and protects.

New Soaps

This was a crazy busy weekend, but that is a good thing!

We hope everyone had a great Easter weekend. Ours involved being home as all of our parents were a bit sick this weekend. The kids still had a blast though.

We managed to get five batches of soaps made and onto the curing racks this weekend, plus get all of the weekend orders out.

In addition, we had a great time with several custom orders this weekend. One was for 72 votive candles in teal (scented Forget-Me-Not). I didn't get a picture of those before they were sent out this morning though. Slipped my mind. :(

However I did get a few pictures of a custom colored Chunk Pillar Trio set that we made this weekend.

This was so much fun to make and the colors were to match some window coverings!

The latest soaps put on the curing rack this weekend include:

A restock batch of Coconut Lime (stronger scent than the previous on this one)
A restock batch of Sweet Orange essential oil - Goat Milk Soap (this turned out better than we were expecting)!

A batch scented in a Victoria's Secret Love Spell dupe.

Our latest addition to the Salt Spa Bar line (Green Tea and Ylang Ylang) Made with iced Green Tea as the liquid and ylang ylang essential oil.

Finally, an attempt at a beer soap made with Corona. We had a few bottles sitting here that a friend left behind. ;)
Thanks again for taking the time to check us out.

Have a creative day,
