Greetings,
Even though the weather hasn’t changed down here in Miami, I’m SO excited for Fall. It’s absolutely my favorite season, not only to be in, but to make things for. I was quite quiet during August. We had a death the family; thank you to everyone that offered their support to us, it means a lot. I also set about to drastically change the way that I do my production and inventory… lots of spreadsheets, so many spreadsheets.
Part of my new system is that everything is pre-made and ready to ship, so that I can commandeer help packing orders more quickly. Thus, this restock is mostly for Salt Bars and Scrubs. There are two cold-process bars and the General Catalog Wax is totally restocked. I have restocked the full-size and the travel-size shamps as well. Fall Wax and Cold-Process soap will be towards the end of September.
I am super proud to be included in the Sihaya & Co Halloween Box, BLEAKTHORN HALL! Here is my contribution…
An Enchanted Athenaeum: The atmospheric scent of a dark, manor library with ancient paper pages, decrepit parchment scrolls, iron-locked grimoires bound in leather, weathered oak bookshelves, a lamplit gothic desk with dip pens, oak gall ink, and, strangely, a plate with a fresh yet half-eaten plum.
The box is available for pre-order at: https://sihayaandcompany.com/products/the-halloween-box-bleakthorn-hall
And, finally, I had a little write-up on the Canvas Rebel website. You can find out a little more about me and my little biz over here: https://canvasrebel.com/meet-kimberly-capron-gonzalez/

> My current TAT is about 14 business days.
> The USPS has raised their rates by about 7% starting in January of 2023. I’m really getting killed on the postage, so I’m going to have to raise the shipping rates soon. Probably this Fall. Sorry. I really hate doing that because I, as well, really hate paying for shipping. I’ll keep you posted.
