I don't know how I get any work done with this girl hanging around wanting to play and be admired allllll day.

White Peach Redux

Friday, November 20, 2009


White Peach is high on the list of my personal favorites, it's juicy and crisp and just about everything one could ask for in a clean, fruity scent. It's loved by men and women, and in my latest restocking of this summery treat I spruced up the design just a touch. Look for the new design to be off the curing rack in about a week.

Of course, white peaches taste fantastic too. Here's a great way to enjoy them from AllRecipes.com:

Jewelry Craftiness

I've been on a jewelry kick lately, mostly making up earrings as I just receive a new spool of gorgeous copper wire and a collection of vintage findings and cabochons which are a blast to work with. I also restocked some White Peach soap last night, and gave it a slight redesign which I'll be showing off here tomorrow!
