What did you have for lunch? STAMPS

I had a lovely lunch break today, one hour full of stamping joy (yes, there is such a thing.) Mom and I crafted in the kitchen, after hurriedly scarfing salads and pursuing "competition" in the felt food industry online.

Check out some of the new tag ideas! All hand-made, some even hand cut!

Like riding a bike ...

Turns out, a year later, making tutus...exactly the same! A word to the wise, do NOT use wired ribbon for a waist band, which I was forced to do as after hours of searching my mother and I could not find our ribbon stock anywhere in the attic. My fingers are raw! Here's a picture of the first, 2010 season, finished tutu:

Fabulous Felt Food!

Mom and I had an impromptu felt food photo shoot this evening after family dinner. Here are some of my favorite shots.
Various individual pizzas

Breakfast!

Oreos and milk, THE perfect combination.

Cheeseburgers!

French macaroons boxed up and ready to go from the Patisserie!

Various cookies 'fresh from the oven.'

We're back!

We're back for another holiday season of fabulous craft fairs. We're also moving into the digital age. Please check out our new Facebook business page: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Burlington-VT/Petits-Cadeaux/132040496851055?v=app_2373072738#!/pages/Burlington-VT/Petits-Cadeaux/132040496851055?v=wall.

We also have an etsy shop of course, but nothing is posted as of now for sale, since we're focusing all inventory on the craft fair circuit in Vermont. Items will be available on the website after the new year.

We can make customized versions of anything we offer: body and face scrubs, soaps, toys, miniatures, tutus, fairy skirts, wands, headbands, felt food...Please feel free to contact us at petitscadeaux@gmail.com with your requests!

Petits Cadeaux in stores! Well, one store

**Check out the Grand Opening of Vermont Food & Gift on Main Street in Winooski, VT on Friday December 4th, where you will find Petits Cadeaux's "Whole Body Scrubs" and tutus/fairy skirts for sale!**

Here's a run down of the "Whole Body Scrub" Spa Line:

-They are made with all natural ingredients, many of which are also organic, and essential oils
-The scrubs are either salt or sugar based, with a few signature blends that include both
-The scrubs are rich, emollient, and leave light lingering scents and full moisture all day, yet are gentle enough for extremely sensitive skin and daily use with a blend of almond oil, grape seed oil, vitamin E, apricot kernel oil, plant-derived carrier oil, and vegetable glycerin.

The 10 signature scent blends:

Salt Based:

-Green Tea and Cucumber: invigorating with green tea and cucumber scent.
-Lilac & Jasmine: lilac and jasmine flower essential oil scent.
-Manicure/Pedicure: lemongrass, peppermint, and spearmint essential oils
-Sore Muscle Scrub: soothing and relieving blend of rosemary, eucalyptus, spearmint, and lemongrass.

Sugar Based:

-Sugar Mama: unscented.
-Orange & Ginger: orange and ginger essential oil scent.
-Tunisian Queen: rich and moisturizing with orange, lemon verbena, and lavender essential oils and organic coconut oil. With dried French lavender flowers and organic raw can sugar as an exfoliant.
-Date in Paris: true rose essential oil scent with crushed dried rose buds as an added exfoliant.

Other Blends:

-M.M.M. Coffee!: a sensational blend of salts, sugars, and finely ground coffee for exfoliation with sweet lingering scents of oatmeal, milk, and honey. The caffeine aids in cellulite reduction and skin firming and tightening. Also works wonders on underarm odor and ingrown hair bumps.
-Gorgeous: a light but exotic blend of plumeria, pekaki, and gardenia flower essential oils with a sugar and salt base.

PROCRASTINATION FASCINATION

Sorry to spread the gospel, but once you visit this site, you will not do anything productive for at least two hours. It's worth the risk though. It's where I am now going to do all future holiday and birthday shopping. It's insane. It's really hard to pick favorites, but here are some:

Graduation Gift Ideas (see left column on page)

I am usually very opposed to any type of "gift registry" but many people have asked, so here are some suggestions. I always love surprises though...and money...

Love, KP
