My Feature Etsy Seller : Foto Fiction
Hey everyone. Today I decided to feature a fellow Canadian Etsy seller, fairly new to the world of Etsy called foto fiction. Not only are her photos simply beautiful, 10% of all proceeds will go to SickKids Hospital in Toronto to honour the memory of a niece named Trinidy Rayne.
In her own words she says:
"Photography to me is a way of conveying moments of emotion, beauty and thought without the need to find the appropriate words and sometimes courage to say them. The captured mood may be solemn, sorrowful, silly or serene but the actual act of creation is always pure joy. "
"With each click I aim to continue celebrating life as she did, with each day being an opportunity for new adventure, laughter and beauty."
You Must check her out, they are reasonably priced beautiful works of art....

Mardis Gras Soap
Today I designed my MardisGras soap. I do like it but not enough to remake it in the same colors. I will keep it all purple and add the whipped top with the gold mica. There is green in it and I think that is what I am not liking. It smells wonderful I have to say. Very citrusy with ylang ylang as a base note. I think it will be a best seller.

Still working on it....
Well, Still working on my cards...not feeling it yet,still tweaking I was thinking maybe to add the picture thats shown, on to the cards. It looks yummy I think. I am really fussy and want to make things perfect so i dont know how long this will take. I hope the designer is patient with me.
Well, I added a few scents to my line that will surely be a hit. Mardi gras is one, Red Hat is another and for the man in your life, Twisted Steel & Sex Appeal. What do you think of that man soap name??? I named it based on my brother-in-law Bruce , who might I add, came up with that name.

Brain Storming
Well, I missed writing in my blog yesterday. My daughter Sara had the stomach flu but she's all better now! My mind is working overtime. Brainstorming is all I do now. I got my proof for my buisness cards ...tell me what you think? I am not sure yet....Also, I am thinking about how my 10 x 10 space at the craft show is going to present itself. Displays are just as important as the product . I need something that is quick and easy to set up but at the same time it has to be eyecatching. My creations will all be displayed on cake plates. I am rolling with the idea of "PANTRY". bakery,bistro, ect...I thought of making brochure type menus .
I also have to figure how much inventory to make and bring. The crowd of people should reach over 8000 at the spring one ,it doubles for christmas. Worst case senerio , I could sell 1% of the attendence. There is a million things to think of! I just ordered 1000 business cards, I am getting some sinage done. If anyone has any comments to leave about advice on displays, craft shows or otherwise, dont hesitate. I love looking on the web about displays at craft shows,setups ect...There isnt enough info on that I think
.
I have ordered new scents for the spring and summer season. A few examples is cotton candy and watermelon. I have Fresh Pear that I am working on now.
