The Artisan Shoppe and Spotted Cow Soaps

I was recently invited to join a new blog/selling site called The Artisan Shoppe. They are home to up to 30 artists, ranging from food (me!), jewelry, cards, soap, and beyond! Check them out for your Christmas Shopping!

Today I would like to feature Spotted Cow Soaps. She is one of the Soap Artists on The Artisan Shop, and also has a shop on Etsy.



As you can see, she specializes in all kinds of soaps. Don't they look beautiful? That gift basket of Bath Fizzies above would make a great gift - or multiple gifts!

HannahsTutus

I recently discovered, and instantly fell in love with, HannasTutus. Feast your eyes on these works of art.






Go visit HannahsTutus etsy shop to see more of her artwork. She is having a holiday sale of 10% off! Just enter HOLIDAY in the Notes to Seller on checkout!

Spot me on TasteSpotting!

My wonderful Team EEAT has been submitting photos of our products to tastespotting.com. Each picture has to be approved by the editors. They have to be exceptional photos, a great looking food, and lead to an interesting blog.

One of my items made it in! Go see my Election apple! Here it is for you to view; a Caramel Apple made in honor of the upcoming Presidential Elections.



A big thank-you to Mark for the wonderful photography of my work!

Thanks to DelectableDelights for entering my photo!

Vacation

I wanted to announce that I will be on "business vacation" from November 1-8. I have decided that I need a break to de-stress and catch up on all the other aspects of my life! I will be getting my house in order, spending some quality time with the kids, just not even thinking about my business! It will be sooooo nice!

I'm leaving my etsy shop open for Holiday Pre-orders. I will be responding to convoes and emails. I will probably still be in the forums and chat rooms during my regular job - what else is there to do? But no selling and no stress! Yeah!

Thanks to all my customers who have made my Etsy experience so wonderful! Miss me!

Ooohhh... I'm in heaven...

As you know, I started a Food team on Etsy. Etsy teams are based on either location or interest. Etsy's Edible Arts Team is obviously based on interest!

The best part of the team is the trading we do with each other! Yeah for goodies! I traded recently with TheFetchingHound

She specializes in "Bitty Bites", little bites of cake mixed with frosting and dipped in chocolate. Now, I'm normally not a huge cake fan...but I am now! Just look at what I got!


Strawberry Cheesecake Swirl/ Itty Bitty Bites




These are truly little bites of heaven.
Not only am I not a cake fan...strawberry cake is not high on the list. But cheesecake? Yes! So I jumped and chose these. They are HEAVEN!! NIRVANA!! Absolutely WONDERFUL! So moist, they just melt in your mouth.



The other Bitty Bites I received were the Coconut Dream/Itty Bitty Bites




If you know me, you know I adore Coconut. Now, I WORSHIP coconut! These bites are perfection. Moist, coconutty - they taste like an exalted form of Almond Joy Candy bars.

Last night we ate our last bitty bite...moment of silence please...




You know what the best part of this whole experience was though? Working with the master chef herself! Christina is so nice and has an amazing sense of humor. I am so glad I have gotten to know her!

So, thanks to you, Christina, for making my mouth very, very happy!
