Seems like forever...

WOW! Talk about neglecting my blog...and the rest of the social media sources I belong to. :-)  Especially when there are so many new followers.  So happy you found Simply Rustic.  Thank you for following and as I begin again, I hope you find something enjoyable and interesting to read.

Simply Rustic had an overwhelming holiday season and words can not express how thankful I am for all the wonderful customers, new and repeat.  I love that people chose to buy handcrafted items, some local and as a bonus a healthy skin care product either for themselves or as a gift for someone they care about. Feeling very blessed...

One of the most popular items...

I did not know what to expect going into the holiday shopping season, wanted to be prepared but not too prepared.  Products went out of stock last weekend, a week before I planned on.  I learned a lot and will hopefully be more organized and prepared for next year.
Comes in a decorated, recycled kraft box.



There are a few more giveaway events that will be shipped and then products will be back in stock after the first of the year.  A few new products will be available too.

There is still time to sign up for giveaways...
Sweet Greens is hosting 12 Days of Etsy which is handmade, eco-friendly items from Jennie's favorite Etsy shops.  The giveaways will be going on from December 5th-20th!  Plus, check out the Sweet Greens blog while you are there...it's wonderful!
Made in USA Challenge still has giveaways going on from Sarah's American Made Holiday Gift Buying Guide.  Made in USA Challenge is a great blog too!

A testimonial the Revive Body Butter received...made me feel good.
"After Burt's discontinued my fave carrot lotion, I've been searching for carrot lotion and coming up disappointed. Then I found Simply Rustic - yay!!! My seriously dry skin thanks you! I've used it just twice so far with super soft results. You've gained a repeat customer." Megs, Seattle

I have a project that I'm working on and will be during the next few weeks, hopefully after Christmas I can tell you a little more about it. :-)
Until then, wishing you a Wonderful Holiday Season and a Joyous New Year!
