Today I opened my Etsy shop with 3 of my soaps, PearBerry, Delicate Rose and Egyptian Beauty. I am so excited about it! I find myself constantly checking and re-checking the page stats, spelling, wording and everything else. I think that I am obsessing way too much over this!
I also found a new shop today, don't you just love that! ;)
I have been searching for a supplier closer to me than the ones that I use. There are times that I need something a little faster and just can't wait a week or pay double in shipping to get it sooner. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE and ADORE my favorite suppliers, but there are times that the sooner the better (like a big order or a highly time sensitive one).
If you find yourself wanting to check out a new supplier, I would recommend ES Premium Products . I placed an order this morning and within 2 hours I had a shipping confirmation in my e-mail. They seem to be fast and reliable. I will post further when the package arrives. OH! They offer free shipping on a lot of items, like melt and pour bases and molds :)
I also got a confirmation from Courtney at Bramble Berry about the Fall S.O.A.P testing! My fragrances are out on the Fed/Ex truck and heading my way from Bellingham, WA! They should be here in a week and then the fun begins! The smelling, the testing, the surveys and finally learning which ones made the cut! September is going to be great!
I hope that you all will com along on my journey with me!
Blessings and Good Night,
Amanda
As the lazy Creek flows, so does the time here. Life is uncomplicated, easy. If you have a roof over your head, food on your table and friends and family to share it with, then you are truly Blessed!
Congrats on 2 things...your new Etsy shop...and getting on the SOAP panel! I'm on it too. We're going to have a blast. Good luck with sales ;-)
ReplyDeleteThanks T.A. and Congrats to you too! We are gonna have to exchange e-mail addresses so that we can talk and exchange notes for the Fall SOAP Panel! AND with you being in Mobile, I am only 2 hours away near Panama City. I have family in Mobile :)I love your blog too, very neat and it really catches the eye and draws you in. I plan on soaps, of course, and some bath fizzies and scrubs... I can't wait!
