Shut right up! An update?!

Yep it's been forever! Well, about 4 months...

I haven't post anything here for a few reasons: First, I've been spending a lot of time keeping up on Merry & Gloomy and it's accompanying Tumblr. Second, there is the usual everyday life, work, blah. However, that's not to say that I have been neglecting Caravan completely! In the last few months I have made my first two perfumes (one is up on Etsy already!), I finished formulating my Lavender Cuticle Balm, and Scented Bath Salts (to layer with the perfumes) and they should be on Etsy within the week. I also got some pumps for the Daily Cleanser bottles, which has been a definite improvement. Today, I'll be finishing up the facial lotions (which have been a bane!) and the Rose Body Butter. And those will hopefully be up on Etsy this week as well. Tomorrow is labeling day!

I have also consolidated Beauty Is You with Caravan (for now anyway). I got rid of the Big Cartel Shop/Email/Facebook/Twitter, as Caravan already has all that stuff! I have created some new shirts with "beauty is you" and incorporated the Caravan logo and style. Those should be on Etsy in the next few weeks. At some point, we may start Beauty is You up again as a separate entity, maybe as a section of a t-shirt company my mom is considering (with yours truly as the artist!).

Also, I am doing my first festival next month! I am sooo excited! It's the Kent Cornucopia Days (for those of you in the area). It's July 8,9 & 10. We're getting a banner made, business cards, brochers, renting a tent, tables, chairs. I've been to secondhand hand stores to get table cloths and display stuff. I've had to buy shopping bags and a cash box. And we're not even halfway done! I'm thrilled though! If you are on the area, please stop by and see me!

As I get more stuff on Etsy, I'll post updates. In the meantime, be sure to check out Merry & Gloomy for more regular nonsense!
