Adding tons of new scents over the next few weeks- check them out!
I have been so busy since I've moved into my new abode conceptualizing and creating new perfume oils... I am planning to release around 20 new scents by this time next month. Here are a few you will have to look forward to. Let me know your thoughts!
Creamy Hazelnut Coffee
A steaming hot cup of coffee swirled with frothy hazelnut cream. Comfort in a bottle!
Raspberries and Dark Chocolate
What more can we say about this one? Tart raspberries drizzed with dark chocolate. One dessert temptation you woun't have to feel guilty about!
Juliet
This perfume oil embodies youth and sweetness. A soft blend of peony, lily of the valley, and musk combine to make this beautiful scent.
Lemon Sweet TeaSweet
Southern iced tea with a big wedge of lemon, plain and simple. Refreshing!
Gaia
Named of the Greek goddess of the Earth, more commonly known as mother earth. Grass, trees, dirt, and fresh air mingle to create an invigorating perfume worthy of a goddess.
Coming Up Daisies
White daisies as far as the eye can see in a lush green meadow. One of my personal favorites!
Hemera
Named for the Greek goddess of daylight and sunshine. Frolic through a mountainside meadow with lush sweetgrass, verbena, and sunny yellow dandelion. Wonderfully stimulating!
Aphrodite
A tribute to the Greek goddess of love and beauty who is said to be born of the sea. Her perfume smells of ocean mist, sea salt, andwater lilies.
Siren Song
Named for the Sirens of Greek folklore. These seductresses lured wayward sailors to their death by their flawless beauty and song.This scent is a veritable love potion reminiscent of the power of the Sirens- wanton, womanly, and full of seduction. Jasmine and Lily of the Valley tantalize as they sweep over a veil of creamy cocounut.
Ireland
Green, green, and more green. This perfume oil inspired by the emerald isle was created by blending together the fresh scents of aloeand four leaf clovers (what else?!).
Athena
Named for the Greek goddess of wisdom. This blend of peppermint, lemon, and vanilla will get you going and even will aid inconcentration throughout the day. An absolute must have for any collection.
Artemis
Named for the Greek goddess of the hunt and the moon. This perfume oil evokes images of a moonlit forest on a clear night. Green apples add a tart twist and herbaceous basil rounds out this scintillating blend.
Dionysus
Named for the Greek god of wine, parties, and general debauchery. The scent of intoxicating red wine mingling with carnal desire is sure to bring out your inner hedon.
Naiad
In Greek mythology, the Naids were water nymphs that presided over fresh springs, streams, and brooks. This oil captures the naiadspirit in the combination of blood orange, water lilies, and a cool bubbling brook.
Hera
Named for the Greek goddess of marriage and childbirth. Hera was the wife of Zeus and though the institutions she represented are kindly, her jealousy and wrath were formidable. This oil captures that essence by combining soft rose and white florals with robust clove and sandalwood.
Poseidon
Named for the Greek goddess of the sea, this perfume oil conjures up the feeling of a deserted beach on a windy day with the the stinging ocean spray whipping through the salty air.
Ares
Named for the Greek god of war and bloodshed. This blend is a raging swirl of blood red rose, smoky patchouli, and deep musk. Who knew being so bad could smell so good?
Creamy Hazelnut Coffee
A steaming hot cup of coffee swirled with frothy hazelnut cream. Comfort in a bottle!
Raspberries and Dark Chocolate

Letting you guys choose the next perfume oil scent!
How long has it been since I have written! Goodness- I feel like it's been forever. I have been in the process of a move, which is infinitely more complicated when you move not only all your personal things, but try to move and organize all your business things as well. It's a much better situation though, I have gone from a 750 square foot apartment to a 3000 square foot house... and believe it or not I am saving around $600 in rent per month! The only issue is that we have a seriously mental squirrel living here- he actually comes and licks the glass on our front door. If I can ever get it on video it will definitely be posted here and on youtube.
Anyways back to the Lily Poppet stuff... I have just made a new perfume oil and I have been wearing it everyday for the last week and I love it! It is called Rose Queen and you can find it here. It is a blend of white rose, red rose, and baby pink rose. I know that the rose thing isn't for everyone but this is definitely not a grandma rose. I love how the red rose fragrance is actually kinda biting and edgy which balances out the white rose's creaminess.
In addition to Rose Queen, I am gearing up to make a TON more awesome perfume oils with my newly acquired space. In fact, I am going to let the people decide what my next perfume oil scent should be. I created a survey that you can take here to vote for the next Lily Poppet perfume oil. It's really easy, takes less than two minutes and you get to choose from combinations like this:
Lemon, Lime, Cilantro
Satsuma, Verbena, Bamboo
Daisies and Grass
Iced Tea and Lemon
Dark Chocolate and Raspberries
The winner will be our next perfume oil that you can find at Lily Poppet!

Spotlight on Etsy items that cost $16... just because it's my lucky number!
I LOVE the number 16. It's just so pretty, so divisible, so loopy. I was born on March 16, which has a lot to do with it. One time when I played Mega Millions and picked 16 as the Mega Ball, I won $8. So technically I won the lottery :-p Anyways, this is my special blog spotlight on my love affair with handmade items and the loveliest number in the world- 16!
This item caught my eyes first off. The colors in it are absolutely amazing! I love peacock accessories!
You astrological-minded readers know that since I was born on March 16 that I am a Pisces- well what Pisces could resist this scarf? It's beautiful and reminds me of calm waters. Plus it's a steal at $16- it was hand painted! Plus I am a bit biased because I just released a perfume oil called Lagoon....
Now if there is one thing that I love besides making soap and perfumes, it is makeup! I am an avid collector- especially of MAC MSFs! I also love Urban Decay and the up and coming Illamasqua brands. This bag is pretty big and looks very sturdy- judging by the size I could fit my whole MAC lipstick collection in there- and let me assure you, I have more than 16!
Couldn't you just see Marilyn Monroe wearing these? These earrings are beautiful and right up my alley. I love the color pink and I love to be noticed- these would definitely give their wearer a ton of attention. I love that they are mounted on gold as well- it just adds to that old Hollywood glam feel.
How posh is this? I adore the pattern and love it even more since it really is eco-friendly. Not like those stinky plasticky eye masks you can get out of the bargain bin at Wally World- this is the real deal! This would be perfect for a jetsetter or a partier- I'm not judging! :)
Okay so what if I am 25 years old and I was home on a Friday night watching Twilight? I can't get enough! This set sounds amazing and just makes me even more anxious for New Moon to come out so we can see the whole Bella's birthday scene!
6. Moon Cream
I hearted this seller and this item long ago so I think it's only fate that made it come up in my lucky 16 search! I am so intrigued by this cream. I actually know quite a lot about skin care and I can say that judging by the ingredients, this cream will pack a great moisturizing punch. My skin drinks up ylang ylang so I am sure this would be love at first application for me!
These cards are absolutely haunting, so yes, they are right up my alley! I think it's so cool that the seller took these photographs and was able to make them look so stunning as cards- a definite visual treat!
Panties!!!!! I mean come on, everyone needs underwear (in my opinion) so why not wear super cute ones! I love the little doggy pink ones. These would also make a great gift for your girlfriends!
If you have an Etsy shop, it's gotta look good to be successful. I love Camille's work, especially this piece which is ironically on sale for- you guessed it- $16!
I love this. I have been on a bird kick lately and the girl in the painting even looks like me, well except I have a lower half. I think that everyone could find something in this artist's shop that appeals to him. I know I have found many!
So that wraps up my tribute to my favorite number, 16! I had a busy day today, but I was able to list my Blue Raspberry Soap on Etsy.
Don't forget to check out my pal Sherryl's blog for her shop Skylar's Candy Clips, she will be featuring my shop on her blog tomorrow and I am doing a HUGE giveaway for it!
Until next time,
Angela

My brain's all right.
So good news... my brain didn't show abnormalities on the MRI today. I guess the bad news is that I still don't know what is causing chronic pain and migraines on only the right side of my head :-s However, in honor of my healthy brain tonight I want to show some cool Brain-themed items from Etsy... I guess it could fit into Halloween too!
I love the deconstructed look of this pendant... and who doesn't love the concept of phrenology? Did you know that back in the day before we knew that the shape of your head didn't determine your personality there were phrenology parties for the upper class. Put that in your pocket :)
I'm sure at first glance these would look like little hearts, but if you take a closer look and are able to appreciate the detail you will see that these are little brains! A really unique idea for cufflinks!
This is a really cool idea- lunch bags with illustrations. My three teenage brothers... and probably my four year old nephew would love these!
Still on the zombie train, these plates are like nothing I have seen before. Added bonus: there are matching cups!
Gotta give my fellow soapers some love! This not only looks super realistic, the smell of cotton candy makes it even more irresistible. Plus, goat's milk makes such a dreamy, creamy lather :)
The craftsmanship on this sculpture is awesome... I love that she included the brain stem as well. Be sure to read the story behind this stunning work too!
This shop has some really interesting hats, including this one. In the winter it looks like it will keep your brain anything but exposed to the elements!
This seller had it right when she called the brain "everyone's favorite internal organ." How cute is this necklace!?!
This shirt is great, but I have to admit that looking at it gives me test anxiety. Remember filling in all those blanks in Anatomy class?
This bracelet doesn't look like brains, it's even cuter. Plus a whopping 100 percent of the proceeds go to help children with brain tumors... I can't think of a better cause!
That's all for the celebration of healthy brains right now! I was able to list a new perfume oil tonight though, it is called Southern blooms and was crafted from the all the best southern blooms- light honeysuckle, heady jasmine, creamy gardenia, sweet magnolia, and delicate rose. You can find it at my shop here.
Until next time,
XOXOXO
