It's Almost Spring

Next week is the official first day of Spring.  This week in central Pennsylvania we had beautiful weather which is so rejuvenating after a long cold snowy winter.  This month's Etsyblogger's Blog Carnival is about Spring  and how we are celebrating the season with items in our shops. 

I am currently working of four new soaps.  The first one is by popular request.  I can't count how many times I have been asked if I have Lilac soap, so it is number one on the list.  Next is Pink Grapefruit and I am making this mostly because I like the scent but I think it should be popular too.  The third soap is Lemon Dill which might be a little offbeat but I am making it for The Herb Festival I will doing in April.  Every year there is an herb of the year and this year it is dill.  You don't see a lot of bath and body products with dill essential oil but I thought lemon and dill would be an interesting combo.  Lastly I want to make a lime salt bar because my By the Sea Salt Bar has been very popular. 

I also am planning on adding to my shop perfume oils.  I have been playing with scent combination's and I have come up with some pretty interesting things.  But I am not going to disclose any more on that for now. 
Enjoy the beauty of the season!
