Craft Fair

Yesterday I went to my very first craft fair for Two Toots.  It was interesting.  Lots of good vendors, very crafty people!  Some of the vendors included things like Mary Kay, Pampered Chef, Thirty One, Tupperware, but there were a lot that just did their own thing.  One of the ladies made aprons.  I have a thing for aprons.  And owls.  Not sure why, but, there you have it.  Anyway...the aprons are just the ones that tie at the waist and I usually like a full apron, but support the local artists, ya know?  And they are really nice and took a lot of skilled works so...Another lady made her own dish cloths and hot pads and knitted scarves and hats and neck warmers.  Tons of work!!  Lovely items.  I wish I would have gotten something from her but I wanted to walk away with money IN my pocket!  Maybe I'll catch up with her again and I can get some things from her.  Surprisingly there was no one there with those fleece tie blankets.  I want one of those too, so it's probably a good thing no one had them. 

There wasn't a lot of traffic at the fair.  It was in a very, very small town, the Husker game was on, there were lots of other benefits going on yesterday, etc, etc.  I did manage to sell a few of my goodies though and people took my cards with my Etsy shop listed.  It's a promising start!  I think I'll keep at it for a bit longer and see how it goes through Christmas.

Bath Bombs

Ok, my first attempt at bath bomb....iffy at best.  My first attempt at tarts....about the same.  I suppose I'll keep trying. *sigh*

Thursday, October 20, 2011

New Item?

I'm thinking of adding bath bombs to Two Toots line of products. Thoughts? Opinions? Let me know what you think!

Tartsy...Fartsy??

I tried making tarts the other night for my tart warmer. They turned out ok but I think I might have added a little too much fragrance. And I need something to put them in other than buying clam shells because I'm NOT going to buy them. Yet. Once I start dabbling and getting it perfected I might, but for right now...I'm not going to spend money on clam shells. I'll probably use my soap molds for them for now and just bag them up individually. Hmmm, I do have a craft fair set up for weekend of the 29th. I might have to get a jump on that. I made Jack Frost for my personal one, think I might have to crank up the Candy Cane, Winter Garden and Peppermint! I'll also throw in a few Monkey Farts!

Finally got my sample containers...

and I'm ready to roll!  I will be making my samples and sending them to Sampler Village for the October sample boxes.  I'm waiting on my new tins and once I get those done I'll be taking some to Donna's Front Porch.  There's another place in Minden that has agreed to consign Two Toots but I'm not sure if the place has a name yet.  They will open next week so I suppose I should find that out, right?  :) 

Anyway, off to my "lab" to make yummy lip balm samples.  Let's hope this is the beginning of a lucrative adventure!

I've got new containers coming for samples and for product and I've got more flavors ordered.  Coming soon to Two Toots:

Iced Pineapple & Tangarine
Mango
Pumpkin Cheesecake (gotta love fall!)

Dropping the F bomb

The FABULOUS lip BALM, that is.  I have new sample containers coming and I'm hoping to connect with a wonderful blog/website/marketeer(?) to get the word out about Two Toots.  Last week there was an article in The Kearney Hub about Two Toots so we'll keep our fingers crossed that that will bring in some business for both me and Marci.  I love doing this and I'd really like to get it off the ground so that I can continue to do it.  Help me spread the word?  Thanks!

Coming Soon!

This weekend I will be working on HOLIDAY scents and shapes for Two Toots soap.  Jack Frost, Candy Cane, Peppermint and Winter Garden fragrances will be making a debut at Good Nuf for Granny soon!  Snowflake, Christmas tree and snowmen shapes will be available. 
I'll also be working on Whippet soap!  Any particular fragrance you'd like to have for this soap? 

Thanks,
Alicia

Sea Salt Scrub

Tomorrow I'm making sea salt scrub.  I have many, many fragrances to choose from but I think right now my favorite is Brown Sugar & Fig.  I have holiday fragrances just waiting too!  Tomorrow I'll post pictures of the work in progress and the finished products :)

Wish Me Luck

So yesterday in my "lab" I created Magic Potion Body Spray.  It looks like a gel in the bottle but it's just a regular spray.  I made Drivin' Me Bananas, Daisy, Coconut Lime Verbana, Black Raspberry & Vanilla and Brown Sugar & Fig. 

Today I will drop them off at the consignment store and check out how well, if at all, any of my other items have sold.  Also thinking of creating an etsy shop.  Maybe I need a few more followers and a giveaway first?  What do you think?

I wanna know!
Email me, text me, "comment" me, send me a message by carrier pigeon, just tell me! :)

Soap, Soap, Soap!

I smell new frangrances coming on!  Currently my new favorite is Brown Sugar Fig.  Any suggestions?

Tuesday, July 12, 2011

And so it begins...

I deliver my first batch of goodies tomorrow to the place that is consigning them.  I'm pretty excited about it.  I hope they are priced right and sell well.  Our town is small but I'm hopeful that there will be interest.  Holidays are approaching.  Okay, okay, it's only July, I know.  BUT you can never shop too early, right? 

The scents I am featuring right now (only because it's what I had on hand and what I ordered is mostly "summerish") is Country Apple, Brown Sugar & Fig (love it!), Cucumber Melon, First Kiss, Butterfly Hugs, Daffodil, Gardenia & Hyacinth, Magnolia and Orange Blossom and Driving Me Bananas.  Driving Me Bananas is actually a scent called Monkey Farts but since I'm unsure of clientele at this point I figured I should probably change that.  I have one more scent that I did not use today but will for the next batch.  It's called Clementine.  Yummmmy!  And of course when the seasons change I'll use more "winter based" fragrances.  Or maybe I'll just call them seasonal scents.  I have Pepperment, Candy Cane and Winter Garden.  I'm not sure if I'll be a fan of Winter Garden but I guess we'll find out.

I made whipped body frosting, lotion, soap and sugar scrub for the debut.  I'll be adding body mist as well, after I return from Arizona.  I'll also be checking out body butter recipes that are more lotion-y, thicker, smoother creams as opposed to the whipped body frosting.  Can't wait to explore this new venture.  I'm just hoping it sells enough to keep going.  Wish me luck!

Officially official!

I am now consigning my goodies!  Marci at Good 'Nuf for Granny has so kindly agreed to take on my little treats and sell them in her shop.  I am in the process of getting them packaged and dropped off next week just to start.  I've placed an order for extra goodies and will be dropping those off to her at the beginning of next month.  I'll be making soaps, lotions and body mist.  Can't wait to get this going!  Woooohoooo and Yeeehawwww!

Wish me luck!

Off to see about consignment.  Wish me luck!

Under Construction!

In more ways than one, this site and Two Toots Soap Shop is under construction. I started making soap a few years ago and once we moved to the midwest I stopped. Now I'm at it again and I'm really enjoying it. Mixing colors and scents trying different cuts and molds. Love, love, love it! Just one more way to be creative, I suppose.

Anyway, I started making them again because someone is interested in consigning them in her shop. I'm hopeful. I'm whipping up batches of soap and lotion to sample. Wish me luck! I'll be posting pictures and updates soon :)
