Is this the cutest ornament ever or what?  The snowie is doing something I am sure everyone who has ever experienced snow has tried... to catch a snowflake on their tongue!  I saw them and had to make them.  Each ornament is sculpted out of air dry clay, painted, sealed, glittered with snow to within an inch of its existence and then an eye screw and ornament hanger installed.  These are designed by Nichola Battilana, a wonderful clay artist.  The ornament are shipped in a 4x4x4 inch box!  This would make such a wonderful gift for someone who collects ornaments, for anyone who loves snow and snowy items or anyone who likes to smile.

The ornament is $8.00 each.   If you wish to purchase more than 1 ornament, please send me an email so I can let you know what the new postage and total will be!   Thanks!

The weight of the ornament is 0.5 ounces and the shipping will be determined for the total weight for shipping.

I originally made a swirled soap loaf that I loved everything about it except that one of the swirl colors was way too dark and thick and I was not liking it so much.  So, I decided to remake the soap using ground up pieces of this loaf added to another batch of soap base and I am so much happier with the way this soap loaf turned out. 

The scent I used for this is Frosted Fir which is, you might think, very wintery and fresh like walking through a fir tree forest, and you would be correct!  The soap base is white with small pieces of three colors of green throughout.  After using this soap, your hands smell so good!  

The soap is made of rebatched soap (as described above), coconut oil, olive oil, shea butter, sodium hydroxide, distilled water, Frosted Fir fragrance oil, titanium dioxide, Micas for color agents (green, light green and dark green) and of course, lots of love!.

Estimated weight of the soap bar is 4.5 ounces.

I expect to see Christmas ads in the next few weeks and that has me excited - excited to be making great quality handmade soap just for you!  

These bars are made of top quality ingredients with a 3-color swirl throughout the soap bar, and the swirl can be seen on the top of the bar as well as holographic biodegradable mini stars.  I also used one of my favorite winter scents, Elderberry and Evergreen.  This soap loaf was made of my regular recipe soap base and it is great - lots of lather!

The ingredients used were olive oil, coconut oil, shea butter, sodium hydroxide, distilled water. The mica colorants are True Red, Gold Sparkle, and Woodland Green.  I also added holographic biodegradable stars, Elderberry and Evergreen fragrance oil and of course, LOTS OF LOVE!

Average weight of each soap bar is 4.5 ounces.

Shipping charges are for per soap bar.

Christmas is approaching!  I love this time of the year!  This is the second soap bar I have designed for this wonderful season.  

This is a pretty elaborate soap to make with three colors of swirls (red, white and green} throughout as well as a "swirly top", snowflake sparkle mica and dried cranberry seeds. Each soap bar is scented with a new fragrance I discovered, called Juniper Berry and Cedar and it is wonderful!  

The ingredients used were olive oil, coconut oil, shea butter, sodium hydroxide, distilled water and titanium dioxide.  The soap is scented with Juniper Berry and Cedar fragrance oil. The mica colorants are True Red, Woodland Green and white.  I also used a snowflake sparkle mica for the top along with dried cranberry seeds.  The last item is added to all of the soap bars that I make - LOTS OF LOVE!

Average weight to each soap bar is 4.5 ounces.

Shipping charges are per soap bar.

This is my first attempt at doing an ocean/beach soap and I love how it turned out!  I can almost hear the roar of the waves and the pounding sound when a wave cuts and runs up the beach!  As a child my family spent 2 weeks mid summer at the Jersey Shore and those were 2 weeks of pure bliss! 

It was very important for me to show the layers of a wave with three colors - white, blue violet and an aqua turquoise.  I am just as excited by the sand layer which was made with a gold mica mixed with vanilla bean powder which I think definitely defined the grains of sand.  The top of each bar is equally spectacular with the blue colors and white defining the swirl of the sea.  

The ingredient used were olive oil, coconut oil, shea butter, distilled water, sodium hydroxide, titanium dioxide, there were 4 micas used - blue, green, white and gold sparkle as well as vanilla bean powder to help add color and dimension for the sand.  The scent I chose for this soap was very well-named - Sea Salt fragrance oil.  The best ingredient is always included in each bar of soap I create - LOTS OF LOVE!

Average weight of each soap bar is 4 ounces.

Shipping charges are per soap bar.

Yes, I know this is not a Christmas ornament and is a pin but I thought it was close enough! I guess you could even hang it on a Christmas tree?  They are really cute, are made of wood with pin back and are hand painted by me. 

These would be great for the cat lover you know, for teacher's gifts, Halloween and so much more.

The pin measures 2" x 2" and would be shipped either in an envelope (padded hopefully) protecting the pin.  I will take just the same amount of care shipping my ornaments as I would any of the products I sell.

Thank you for shopping with us and hope you come back and see us anytime you have the time!

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

I am starting to see Christmas ads and that has me exited - excited to be creating wonderful Christmas ornaments just for you!

These ornaments are so sweet - lovely bumble bees decorated with a wonderful Christmas wreath and sparkled with "fairy dust"!  

They are made by me from air dry clay and hand painted, glittered with fairy dust and sealed with an glossy acrylic paint medium.  Each ornament has a black and white Baker's twine ornament hanger, so they are ready for your tree!  Really, they are so cute and would be perfect for that special friend who is an avid gardener!

They are 2 1/2 inches tall and 2 1/2 inches wide.

The bee will be packed in a small box to keep it safe for travel with room for more than one bumble bee, should you choose.  Of course, the shipping will may be more than the shipping for only one and you will be charged accordingly.

Christmas is coming!  I love this time of the year, don't you?

This ornament is a combination of a fir bough, cranberry colored shaped dots and a lot of glitter!  The base of the ornament is air dry clay which I prepped, outlined into the clay, hand painted and then let a "glitter" bomb land on the front and back of each ornament.  I pictured it hanging on the tree and the tree lights bouncing off the glitter and I was hooked and I made it happen!  

The ornament measures a little more than 3 inches top to bottom and almost 3 inches wide.  I have included a red and white hanger of baker's twine.  

Great care will be taken to ensure that the ornament arrives at its destination all in one piece!

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

Christmas is coming! I love this time of the year, don't you?

I designed, shaped and hand painted each teeny gingerbread man and then sealed each with a glossy varnish and attached baker's twine to each ornament. These two pieces are sold as a set.  Wouldn't this be a sweet gift for a teacher or daycare worker or just so many other suggestions.  

Each ornament is almost 2 inches tall and 1 1/2 inches wide.

Great care will be taken to ensure that the ornament arrives at its destination in one piece!

After all the years I have made and sold ornaments, I have not gotten tired of making snowmen ornaments!  There are so many different ways to make them and each one is adorable (at least to me).  

I designed these snowmen to be pretty plain but "jazzed" them up with a flashy scarf and 3 red heart buttons and I cannot forget the fairy dust - front and back!  They are made with air dry clay, hand painted after the clay is dry, sprinkled with fairy dust and then adorned with a shiny silver scarf.  Also, did you notice the carrot nose?  

Each snowie measures  3 1/2" x 3".

Great care will be taken to ensure that the ornament arrives at its destination all in one piece!

I designed, shaped, and hand painted each sweater and then sealed each with a glossy varnish and attached baker's twine to each ornament.  Christmas sweaters seem to go hand in glove with the season!  Wouldn't this be a sweet gift for a teacher, daycare person or just so many other suggestions.  

The ornament measures 4 inches wide and 2 3/4 inches long.

Great care will be taken to ensure that the ornament arrives at its destination in one piece!

I live in the charming town of Mahtomedi which is a suburb of St. Paul, in Minnesota.

This is the Mahtomedi "Badge" which I have used to honor my town and for the sake of "school spirit"!

I painted these badges on an ornament-shaped piece of wood.  I have not done this kind of thing before, but school spirit is a pretty wonderful thing and is good all-year round!

These pieces are hand painted and varnished with a glossy finish and I attached baker's twine to each ornament.
