Hey everyone, I found this new thing today.....its called your target market!!!
So I am very excited to let you all know I am at Corbans Arts Estate Shed 2 on Sunday 15th of December, rather than at Kumeu Market.
I will have all my stock at Corbans if you want anything. Note: soap soap stocks are dissapeared FAST!
Oh my gosh, this is the busiest time of year! Gearing up for all the Christmas Markets, with 6kg of soaps made and another 6kg to still make. Herbs to dehydrate for our smoking mixes, Snoozie and Cruzi have been blended and partly packaged, still to make is Doozi, almost done just please grow Calendula!! Ciggis are $2.00 each rolled..... Oh, and remember to get your De-Stress© and Aura Clear© flower essence to see you through, I am certainly taking mine. https://www.alchemistsden.com/product-page/flower-essence-consultation
The wild and wooly tails are being shorn and I am being shepherded here and there to collect and aquire fleeces that have come off the sheeps backs . There is no waste here, as the green, sticky bits that are no good for rug making or spinning are great as mulch for the gardens and liners for big pots! Plus I just saw that washed waste wool can also be used as soft packaging!!!! Yipee what a bonus.
The looming classes at Wool Revolution are a great success, and it turns out that the wool rope I spin is becoming popular, and I am having trouble actually making any rugs as the hanks are selling before I have a chance to make rugs! Check out what is happening at the Wool Revolution Studio. Link below.
Our shop has more gorgeous items added, these are still to be added to the website.
Soap Box - We have, Kawakawa and Dandylion leaves infused and macerated into a lovely light green soap. Mugwort Herb Leaf infused soap that is an off white colour. Calendula petals infused soap that is a gorgeous buttermilk colour. Coffee grounds our specialty exfoliating soap. Rosemary infused leaf macerated into the oils includes Essential Oil, other wise known as The Hedge Maiden, Cypress Essential Oil other wise know as The Arborist (new stock coming) and Plain Bars. If you can't see it on the website, please drop me a message and I will let you know if the item is available. :-) Prices vary as I am such a random cutter.
Smoke Shop - We have fresh Cruzi, and Snoozi ciggis and tins of these smoke mixes, they look and smell gorgeous, perfect for a chuff in the sun on a summers eve.
Sheepish Stuff - As well at the spun wool yarn, I have a few in stock...atm, we now have 30cm peg loom starter baskets for sale, these have washed fleece, warp threads, headle strings, and the loom and written instructions to follow. Such a great Xmas present for crafty members of the family or even for self. 30cm is big enough to make sit pads, pet beds, and even peg loom squares to make rugs of any size stitched together.
See the shop all page on the website for more, or come along to one of the market days.
Here are some photos of out totally gorgeous rustic pure wool woven rugs for sale. There are two of them! The larger is 1.5m x 0.75m chocolate colours, Gotland, Arapawa, Romney and Boarder Leicester Cross, that is 3cm thick, double strand weaving. This rug will bring to your home the most luxurious look, feel and not just the asthetic...pure wool, deodorises, is fire retardent, can be shaken to release dirt, and adds a natural grounding feeling under ones bare feet!
If you are interested in any rugs I have, flick me a message through the website and I will send you some photos and descriptions. :-)
New Stocks Coming - of Peppermint and Rose Geranium magnesium spray, Arborist Soap (lovely cypress aromatics), Rose Geranium Soap, Comfrey and Lavender Essential Oil Balm are coming.
