Eeek!

It is taking literally forever to load products into the Etsy shop tonight. My computer is really lagging, and my listings are not updating for some reason, so I think it'll be a long night for me! I should have plenty of limited edition products, so no worries! Everything will still be around tomorrow. :D Thank you, everyone!

Also, my banner and shop announcement won't load either, so something is obviously happening with Etsy. :(

official Halloween preview!




Hi everyone!
The chilly, leaf- filled gusts of wind outside are telling me that it's time for me to get in the Halloween spirit! So here we go.

The shop will open sometime in the evening on the 30th. I'll figure out tomorrow what would be the best time for everyone, and post it here as well as in my shop. I do plan to stay open for as long as I can through October, but the official closing date really depends on how my son is doing, and how busy the shop is. I'll post that as soon as I know as well.

I'm not going to reveal everything tonight, because firstly, I want to leave a few things to the imagination, and secondly, I haven't finished writing descriptions for everything! Here are some quick descriptions of what I have planned:



lusts:
pumpkin cake~ spice cake smothered in pumpkin buttercream
candy corn~ sweet candy corn
caramel apple~ green and red apples dipped in warm caramel
lavender spice~ Bulgarian Lavender and Guatemalan Cardamom with a touch of honey

sugar polish:
wilding apple~ wild apples plucked from the edge of a dark wood, buttery caramel, dark rum, and dusky amber
golden pumpkin~ sweet pumpkin pulp, golden amber, warm spices, hot butterscotch, and a drip of honey
oubliette~ bitter cocoa, darkest amber, treacle-thick labdanum, vanilla, and a wisp of tobacco
autumn rite~ freshly carved jack o' lanterns, caramelized apricots simmered with autumn spices,
black vanilla and tonka absolute
more polishes to come...

facial masks:
pumpkin honey
Canadian glacial clay and green tea
cocoa lavender

skin glossing oil:
the old cidermill~ gooey caramel apples, sweetly spiced candy apples, sweet cream and soft hay
more glosses to come...

soap:
golden pumpkin
autumn rite

perfume:
oubliette~ bitter cocoa, darkest amber, treacle-thick labdanum, vanilla, and a wisp of tobacco
winchester~ worn brown leather, sweet tobacco leaf, incense, amber, labdanum and smoldering woods
more perfume to come...

I hope to see you all soon!

new opening date

Hi everyone!
Well, time is closing in on me. :D I'm going to have to change my Etsy shop opening to September 30, because I'm realizing that I need those few extra days to have everything made, labeled and ready to go. Orders will be shipped out as quickly as I can pack them! No long turnaround this time.

I plan to keep the shop open until at least the end of October. I'll post a closing date on my Etsy homepage as soon as I know when that will be.

I'm sorry that I never got around to posting sneak peek pictures like I had planned. I was completely surprised by how busy I was this summer, especially the past few weeks. Thank you to all of my loyal customers for keeping your favorite Haunt resellers busy with orders while the Etsy shop has been closed!
