For those who have not yet visited Cranberry Cottage, it is located in a darling little yellow house at 490 South Knik Goose Bay Rd. And while they have MANY lovely items, their call to fame is the outstanding Vera Bradley selection. All the colors and patterns grouped together make a truly breath-taking display. I love it all! Also be sure to check out their Webkinz and Magnabilities Necklaces, both of which are extremely popular!

And, as if that isn’t good enough… my dear friend Liz Muth, formerly of Home Sweet Home and Raven’s Roost will also join us at Cranberry Cottage.

Iced Coffee and Lotion

Last week I discovered a really good iced coffee recipe which was perfect for keeping me charged up for all the fresh lotions I had to make. <smile>

This is a delicious iced coffee recipe. Straining the cold brew coffee took patience and time but it was soooo worth it. I also did what one commenter suggested and re-used the coffee grounds a second time. It worked perfectly. And go ahead and play with your ratios of coffee and the sweet cream, as you can see I like more cream than coffee!  And speaking of yummy-ness...our newest lotion scent is Juicy Pink. To me it smells like a blend of puckering grapefruit and tropical papaya ... my mouth watered just making it! All of  the testers here at home LOVED it! I hope to make this scent in sugar scrubs also... yum!

I showed you the iced coffee I drank while making lotions, a picture of the lotions, so I thought I would also share a view of what I look at while making the lotions... rough, isn't it? <smile>
