Deep in Thought Etsy Treasury

I'm a member of Etsy where you can find and purchase hand made goods and vintage finds. As an Etsy members, we are urged to make our favorite list which we call treasury. I have made a few treasury lists and love it. Recently my pillar soycandle is featured in Deep in Thought Etsy treasury which is curated by Luckyshots (thank you..Luckyshots for including my White Tea & Ginger pillar soycandle in the treasury.) The treasury presents very warm grey color tone and suits with this fall season color. Shall we see her treasury list..

My Weekend Craft Fairs

My weekend had gone by very quickly but it was very productive. I did 2 local craft fairs here in great Sacramento, one at Midtown Bazaar and one at Honey Festival in Granite Bay.

I always like to be at Midtown Bazaar, meet and greet to all new and not so new customers. All visitors seemed to be happy and really enjoy checking us, crafters, out. Well, and the rain did not get to us until Sunday which I was at Honey Fest craft fair. The rain seemed to be on and off until noon. The rain was not too bad and gave me a signal that I should get ready to prepare for a rainy season.

Getting Ready for Holiday Season!

Holiday season had not been anything beyond another year was coming to an end and new year would take place. Well, that was how I felt when I was in Thailand. I'm a quick learner and now I get excited when holiday season is coming. I admit that I love holiday season during winter. I love to visit snow country and play in snow sports.

Now we are in mid September, every stores that I stepped in are now showing all fall decorations. Well, it seems I have to change my scented soybean candles to match with this fall season. I begin to post my new scents on my Etsy shop, Pomegranate Cider, Cinnamon Vanilla and my Black Rasp. Vanilla seems to match with this season as well.

Holiday season is also season of giving! Yes, I have gift sets available for you too. Check this out, this is a new one. You can also customize letter to match your recipient name as well.

My Monday!

My Monday is begun with reorganizing my soycandle inventory, gathering website orders and responding to all emails. Then it is a planning time for upcoming shows (craft fairs) and orders. All of these have not been easy for me lately, I still do not have a great formular to help me to accomplish all things that I have to do within my available time. As you know I have my 5 years old son who attends 3 hours at school each day, I still look and search for a better way to manage my time so that I will not have much stress which seems to increase lately.

Well, all and all, I must be greatful that I have orders and requests from my customers to keep me busy all seven working day. I'm absolutely delightful for what I have right now. Thank you so much and please keep orders coming : )

Napa Valley Wine, Art and Craft Fair Sept.11, 2010

I was at Napa Valley Wine, Art & Craft Fair yesterday, there was a new street lay-out and a lot of people who were looking and buying. Thank you everyone who came by at my soycandles booth. It was fun to meet and chat with all customers who loved to smell and tested my natural scented soycandles. Look forward to seeing all of you again next year!
