Where’s your happy place? I’m in one of mine t

Where’s your happy place? I’m in one of mine this afternoon and evening, taking a little break from all the work I’ve been putting in to getting ready to open at A Crimson Holiday this Saturday. It feels really good to have a break.

I got my ring a little more refined this afternoon and am starting a wax piece now.

How was your day?

What is stress? Stress is our body’s response to pressure. This can be caused by any number of things. We all have it in our lives. The key is to take opportunities to reduce and/or alleviate it on a regular basis.

I had an opportunity to obtain some supplies yesterday based on a friend alerting me about them. I decided to take Luna and go for a walk on the beach. We found an entrance we hadn’t used before. It didn’t take a long time and we’d already had a walk, but man it felt good. I love listening to the waves.

I’m continuing to get ready for our opening this Saturday. It is stressful, but I’m trying to fit breaks in when I can. How do you relieve stress in your life?

How does one come up with a name? I ask myself that every time I come up with a new product.

The Channel Islands off the coast of Santa Barbara are rich in history. The man who built the house I lived in a few years ago discovered the remains of pygmy mammoth there. He also discovered the oldest human remains in North America and they became known as The Arlington Man. I’ve visited the islands a few times and their beauty never ceases to amaze me. I never would have imagined that such colorful beings lived under the water in and near the kelp forests.

Anyway, I’ve decided to name this new soap Channel Islands. For some reason, that’s what came to my mind.

What name do you think would describe it?

Having a good Saturday? Whether you’re being pro

Having a good Saturday? Whether you’re being productive or just kicking back, I hope it’s one that brings some joy and beauty with it.

I had a few minutes to work on this ring today. It still needs a more love, but getting close! I believe this is the first rectangular stone I’ve set. Good experience for sure!

I’d love to hear what you’re up to on this last day of September. It feels like fall here with the wind blowing leaves 🍁 off the trees!

Are any of you taking inventory to make sure you d

Are any of you taking inventory to make sure you don’t run out of product and supplies? I’ve made orders today for more purple padded envelopes, more solid perfume tins, rolls of bubble wrap, and a few things from #riogrande all necessary for the upcoming holiday season. Never a dull moment!

I’m really glad I didn’t have to go out today, since I heard the freeway has a hole and was down to one lane. What a mess. I wish you all a Happy Friday with safe and smooth travels if you’re on the road.

So, how many days till Christmas? I’m really not

So, how many days till Christmas? I’m really not sure, but today we started setting up at A Crimson Holiday for the holiday season. I got a lot of watercolor giclees hung and put out most of my cards. Still lots to do, but I’m glad I got a jump on it!!

Are any of you doing something similar? I’d love to know we’re not the only ones. 😂

Ever feel like a juggler with your work/projects?

Ever feel like a juggler with your work/projects? This ring is something I started at the beginning of the month. Isn’t that a cool stone?

I hadn’t had a chance to get back to this until a couple days ago. But sometimes there’s one pesky thing that keeps going wrong. For some reason, one side of the ring shank kept coming up. I actually almost melted the whole thing! But this afternoon, I finally got the upper hand. Whew! I could tell I’d been away from my soldering station for too long!

Have you had similar experiences?

Do you keep lists of things to do in your head or do you write things down? I mostly have things in my head. I’ve ticked off a couple more things today and yesterday. I got my drafting board cover installed after it relaxed for a couple days. I also got another batch of soap made yesterday. It’s another men’s soap. Last time I called it Lizard’s Mouth after a rock structure up on the mountain here. I’m thinking about changing the name. 🤔 Maybe after one of the beaches instead.

I’m feeling very relaxed today. Some longtime friends treated me to a massage for my birthday. Is that sweet or what?!

Are you familiar with this specimen? We’ve been seeing them for the first time this year. It’s a red cage fungus and it smells like trash. Flies even love them and actually spread their spores! Also seen in the garden is a new little frog, a damaged (and probably dying) plant that a gopher has been gnawing on (grrrrr!!!), Luna running around and the afternoon light coming through the oaks. I couldn’t stand being inside any longer and needed to get out here and take a break. Hope you’re having a good weekend!

Know what this is? Any old school graphic designer

Know what this is? Any old school graphic designers will know. It’s a Mayline rule on my drafting table. The vinyl board cover was totally shot from years of use, cutting things like labels, signs, cards, even perfecting mat board. I had actually cut into the table, so a new vinyl was definitely needed. Especially with a new season upon us. Out with the old and in with the new.

The vinyl is supposed to ‘relax’ for at least 24 hours since it’s rolled so tightly for shipping. Kinda like flying these days and getting jammed into a tight space. And yes, it’s so important to take the time to relax. We can all learn from that.

So I’ll have to wait on cutting the spaces for the Mayline for a few more hours. A lot of things just take time and require patience. The up side is that it gives you time to rest. 😁♥️

Wanna guess what cuts my soap? I thought I’d sha

Wanna guess what cuts my soap? I thought I’d share how I do it.

First of all, when you sell soap, there are certain requirements… like listing the weight of the soap, the ingredients, who made it and where it was made. So instead of using a knife, I use some tools that my honey made me that make the cuts to insure they’re the same size and weight. The size is important because I create labels, and they need to fit the same for each bar. The first tool is the simplest. And actually used last. It bevels the edges with a blade. I lay the soap on the wood to the side, which creates a 45 degree angle. The second tool shown cuts the large flat molded soap into three lengths. The third tool cuts the soap into bars. Both of the last two tools use a guitar string to cut the soap! He’s a guitar player and has plenty of strings. And soap isn’t difficult to cut before it cures and hardens. So nothing ever needs to be sharpened.

I feel very fortunate to have these beautiful handmade tools to cut my handmade soaps. 🥰♥️

So did you guess the answer?

These will be for sale at A Crimson Holiday beginning October 7th through the end of the year. I’ll try and get them listed on my website as well. lovefromsantabarbara.com

It is all so fabulous. I haven’t found a thing that I didn’t think was the best I have ever seen. Donna, you have an incredible talent. The scents and textures are absolutely divine!!!! I encourage everyone to buy, but then there would be none for me. What a dilemma! ❤️♥️❤️♥️❤️♥️

I haven’t found a thing that I didn’t think was the best I have ever seen. - Santa Barbara, CA

I gave this soap to a friend as a hostess gift and she said, “How beautiful! Can I open it?” She thought it was a jewel box!

Soap or jewelry box? - Florida

Donna makes such wonderful products! Love, love, love everything she makes.

Love, love love! - Huntington Beach, CA

Thanks for making birthday giving so beautiful and easy! Can’t wait to actually touch the soaps. They look amazing on Facebook! And it occurs to me that I have a lot of people who could use a little Love from Santa Barbara.

Birthday giving – so beautiful and easy! - Santa Barbara, CA

I too bought this lip balm and love it. It is very soft and luxurious feeling. I kind of go nuts with lip balms as my lips are always dry and I am not a big lipstick person, so this is a wonderful find.

Soft and luxurious… a wonderful find! - California

I’ve never found a product that makes my skin actually glow. Since I started massaging your whipped body butter into my face like you suggested, then the hot wash cloth afterward, I have no more skin problems. I don’t need to go back to the dermatologist. My skin is GLOWING with health! Thank you!

My skin is glowing!

I’ve been using your whipped body butter on my dry, cracked heels, and they are no longer cracked but instead, so soft and smooth!

I love this stuff!

Just crazy about the colorful vibrant jewelry, especially the Funk Zone Necklaces and Donna’s new gorgeous lightweight earrings! I get so many compliments when I wear LOVE from SB items out and about – I also buy them for my friends and family as special gifts. The only drawback is, I selfishly want to keep them all!

Crazy about this jewelry!

Thanks for stopping by!
