New for Winter

I was up in New Paltz this week for work and I got the opportunity to visit The Awareness Shop; Its a great place. I got two items that I had been looking to use in my winter products; pine resin and vanilla bean.

They smell amazing. Both will into my Yule oil and incense mixtures but I definitely want a vanilla only scented product and possibly a pine one as well. I already have other products with cinnamon and peppermint in mind as well. I hope you all are looking forward to the scents of the winter season.

New Ingredients for New Projects

I bought raw cocoa butter, raw shea butter to practice and use making body butters and bath melts.

I also got some amber jars, both 1 oz. and .5 oz., for oils like the Ostara and Spring oils I've made up that are currently mixing and infusing in darkness.

I also finally got some sewing needles with big enough eyes to run ribbon through for some Japanese stab binding. Its a new binding style I'm trying out for the albums and books I make. I haven't shown those here or on my Etsy site yet because I want to get good pictures of them before I start selling them.

Soon, internet, soon.
