Hi friends! 

We had a great time at the Renegade craft show, and the days since the show went by so fast.. 

We have a few new products we will introduce in the next few months. We are now experimenting with new materials in the lab, new soaps, new ideas and a lot of new inspiration! 

When we try new things we get a lot of samples left overs, and who better to benefit from that then you guys?! 

Today i whipped a lot of sugar and salt scrubs, and i want to give it away to you!

Since we only have 10 jars, we are going to make a drawing for the winners! 

Here are the details:

What is the prize?

Beautiful, soft, airy, fluffy and moisturizing foaming whip! Some with sugar scrub, some with salt, and in different fragrances. 

We have:

Oatmeal milk and honey brown sugar whip scrub, Smooth guava berry and goji berry whipped creamy soap, Sandelwood vanilla whipped sugar scrub, and Chai tea whipped salt scrub, let me just say: YUM!

They are all limited editions!!! We still don't know if this product would make it to our line, but we are hoping that you could help us decide ..

Besides that, we would send some soaps to the winners as well..

The Stock Yards - Historic area in the beautiful Forth worth.. We had a chance to walk around this lovely area after the first day of Funky finds craft show. 

The story of the stockyards, from the official website:

For the drovers heading longhorn cattle up the Chisholm Trail to the rail heads, Fort Worth was the last major stop for rest and supplies. Beyond Fort Worth they would have to deal with crossing the Red River into Indian Territory. 

Photo taken by Erez Peled

Between 1866 and 1890 more than four million head of cattle were trailed through Fort Worth which was soon known as “Cowtown” and had its own disreputable entertainment district several blocks south of the Courthouse area that was known all over the West as “Hell’s Half Acre”.

Photo taken by Erez Peled

When the railroad finally arrived in 1876, Fort Worth became a major shipping point for livestock. This prompted plans in 1887 for the construction of the Union Stockyards about two and one half miles north of the Tarrant County Courthouse. It went into full operation about 1889. Read more

So, this is a great place to go and get a feel of "where the west begins".. you can watch a rodeo show, shop for anything cowboy or cowgirl, catch a live music show while having dinner, and get a feel of forth worth. 

Photo taken by Erez Peled

We set on the top floor of a restaurant and looked at the street, horses crossing and cowboy hats everywhere.. we could imagine what this street looked like when the stock yards were there just for business.. 

Today its mainly for fun, but well worth it! 

Hi everyone!

Here are some pictures of our booth at the lovely Funky finds show, from Nov 10-11 at Forth worth, Texas. 

We met a lot of nice friendly artists and shoppers, it was a lot of fun! 

On the first day, we took a little eavening off and visited forth worth's stock yard- which was beautiful! I will post pictures of that soon..
