Do YOU have the WalMart mentality ? - comments about craftmanship.
January 2, 2009
Do YOU have the WalMart mentality ?
OR - do you appreciate having quality artisan work ?
There is a post about this at the-wal-mart-mentality
There is nothing wrong with saving money on most things, sometimes a cheap item is fine - for example buying cheap towels... for kids or hubbys who will ruin the good ones - LOL In a case like this, you are likely saving money by getting the cheap ones.
BUT for my food, gifts, soaps, perfumes... - I want the best and to me that means as unprocessed as possible, all natural, organic and handmade - often one-of-a-kind items.
I agree with the others who have posted about this issue.
I also point out (to these potential buyers) that there are differences.
I make one-of-a-kind and other handmade quality items using all natural herbs and flowers... that are organically grown AND you get to meet the designer/maker of those goods (me).
I can explain to you how I do things, why I use certain materials, and tell you what herbs and flowers... I grew in my own organic gardens and how I grew them.

More products listed and a little more info about my methods...
November 19, 2008
It seems the little glitch preventing me from list on monday has been resolved.

I have also added some more all natural goat milk soaps, and perfumes too.
I make my own infused oils to get the scent for my perfumes and soaps. I do use essential oils too when needed. I use my own flowers - I dry them and then infuse them into expellor pressed (NOT solvent extracted) safflower oil. This way, I get to have lilac scent products among other scents that are all natural. Lilac (as well as jasmine...) does not give up its essential oils in the conventional manner. and I will NOT use a fragrance oil/absolute/concrete... as these are either all fake - or - as in the case of absolutes and concretes - the scent is real, but the method of extraction is using hexane or some other chemical that I want to avoid. This is why I make all-natural products - so I can AVOID using most chemicals in my life.
It takes anywhere from 4 weeks to 4-5 months (if not more) to...

Diana's Handmade All Natural Luxury Bath Salt "Teas" are now ready
October 8, 2008
I just made up several of my All Natural Luxury Bath Salt "Teas" in my two newest scents.
I made one to match my ~ Frankincense & Pink Roses ~ line of an All Natural Luxury solid Perfume and my All Natural Luxury goat milk soap.
I also made one to match my ~ Jasmine & Myrrh ~ line of an All Natural Luxury solid Perfume and my All Natural Luxury goat milk soap.
Of course, you do not need to buy them to go together, you can mix and match whatever you want - but many folks wanted a matching line so I made some.
I will soon be adding a new line with ~ Sandalwood & Vanilla ~ a most extraordinary blend that evokes warmth, comfort and just might make you want to growl like Cat Woman.
To shop, or just to see what I have to offer, see my online store here :

Neck Pillows, Eye masks/Pillow and sachets just added to my shopping page !
March 19, 2008
I just added several of these that I made from a black and white soft fleece fabric.
These are all hand-sewn and have real lavender buds inside.
So far I have 36 of my products listed in my store and many more to come.
Don't forget, if you are local you can make arrangements to buy these items in person and save yourself some shipping money.
