random stuff for Wednesday

So I'm really getting into this screen printing thing. Yesterday I came up with this really cute idea for tea towels but I am a terrible artist so I told Mike what I wanted and he is designing it. If it goes well I might put them up for sale in the shop! Speaking of the shop, I was hoping to get some new stuff posted this week but it doesn't look like it's going to happen. We are still dealing with odds and ends from our move and I can't seem to find any spare time to sit down with Kopah stuff. Hopefully I can find some free time this weekend because my supply orders just came in so I am anxious to make some new things!

Lots of Random Things

I just received some yummy tea from Serendipitea. It's so good! I'm afraid to bring it home though because Mike keeps getting mad at me for not drinking all the tea we have at home so I guess this will stay at work! I also just ordered some tea from Saks Fifth Avenue mainly because I wanted the tin! I had seen an article in Blueprint about using tea tins for makeup brushes and cotton balls, etc. and the picture they showed had all these beautiful colored tins from Le Palais Des Thes and I looked them up and the tea is French and really expensive so for Christmas I got a gift certificate from Saks so I decided to splurge and buy the tin. Hopefully the tea will be good too!

Today I ordered a ton of supplies for Kopah. I am so excited for all the new things I plan to add to the shop over the next few months!!

I also wanted to share this cool new blog I found over the weekend. Big City, Little Kitchen is about a girl living in Manhattan and the challenges she faces in cooking in a tiny apartment. She also blogs about fun places to eat in the city and lots of other cooking type things! Very fun read!

New Year, New Ideas, New Look

I am so excited, I just placed a huge order with my supplier and I have a lot of new products in the works including an organic body wash, and lots of fun Valentines Day stuff...I can't wait to get started on everything!

I am also considering new packaging for my soaps. I love my packaging but I am finding that it doesn't hold up well in the mail and I don't think it would ever be suitable for sale in stores and one of my goals this year is to establish more wholesale accounts. I have a couple of ideas that I am playing around with, I just need to consult with my "creative director" a.k.a Mike to see what he thinks :)

I'm also sitting here twiddling my thumbs waiting for all the cool stuff I ordered online last week to get here....why is the mail so slow!!
