Post Market Post
The Human Snail
Here is a picture of me working at my blog:
Well, it's not really, it's a snail, photographed by an amateur photographer in the 1930s. A recent addition to my collection of snaps. I have been working quite hard recently, in preparation for two markets over the weekend just gone. The fall-out of this is I have been slow to post to my blog!
One of the products I launched over the weekend is the gift pack. Not just any gift pack, but a party in a box:
Karena from Magic Jelly prepared the beautiful labels and patterns, of course, and each gift box is different, containing a variety of Shanghai Lil & The Scarlet Fez products. Some even have Magic Jelly buttons, coasters or mirrors! They were well received over the weekend and I plan to have more ready for the next round of markets before Christmas. I hope to be able to offer some via the online shop too, so more on that later.
I have had a couple of enquiries from people asking where I will be next. There are a couple of simple ways to find out:
1. sign up to my monthly newsletter - I will tell you about the markets for the following month, any special offers and any other news relating the Shanghai Lil & The Scarlet Fez;
2. follow me on Facebook.com/ScarletFez;
3. visit me at a market and ask me!

Rosehip and Pomegranate Face Serum
A New Product
The last couple of weeks have been very busy as Shanghai Lil & The Scarlet Fez prepared for a market and the release of a range of new skin-care products.
I have had an excellent cleansing face soap out for some time now - the unscented Pink Moon Face Soap. Then, the Rose and Cucumber Face Mist, a soothing and fresh toner for the face. Rosehip and Pomegranate Face Serum completes the range. This oil is made from organic rosehip oil and is blended with pomegranate oil, camellia oil, meadowfoam seed oil, olive squalene and vitamin E.
You only need 3 or 4 drops of Rosehip and Pomegranate Face Serum, gently massaged over your face and neck after toning. It is a relatively 'dry' oil, so will sink in quickly and is, therefore, suitable for use under make-up. It suits normal to dry skin. What I like about the serum is that it is made with only the ingredients I want to use on my skin, no padding, extending or emulsifying with water. Just simple oils with all of their nutrients and benefits in a small bottle. Good things come in small packages, right? (I sound like Mary Ann Singleton from Tales of the City!)
I have made up a small face-care kit with all three of the above products, which are available from my stall at any market I will be at. You can also buy each separately, of course! Sign up to my newsletter (the button is in the sidebar) for up-to-date news of where I will be, special offers and new products.

New Product Launch
Rose and Cucumber Face Mist
I have been working for the last few months on a couple of new products, the first of which I am proud to say is released today!
Rose and Cucumber Face Mist is an excellent toner and can also be used on the face just to refresh the skin. Made from gentle rose water and soothing cucumber water, this face mist is blended with hydrolised oats. One of my favourite ingredients, hydrolised oats instantly sooth the skin, making it look and feel soft.
You will note, of course, that this product is completely natural, vegan and is not tested on animals. The labels have been beautifully designed by Karena at Magic Jelly.
Rose and Cucumber Face Mist is the perfect accompaniment to Pink Moon conditioning face soap and will shortly be joined by another new product, a face serum. More on that later.
If you are interested in trying Shanghai Lil & The Scarlet Fez's Rose and Cucumber Face Mist, come and say hello this Saturday at That Dapper Market at Bowden.

The New Melancholy
Autumn, Aspire and Annuals
I know it is stating the obvious, but autumn is here. It seems to be a bit early, the leaves are well under way to their new colours, there are dahlias out, it smells smokey at night, it's cooler and now, daylight savings is over. As much as I really don't like (I'm being mild here) the very hot weather, it is sad to see the summer go. Sad in a melancholy way.
But I love the small rituals of a change of season. The decision to pack away the linen and pastel coloured argyle socks, switching from rose scented tea to chai, dusting off the Balmoral boots, raking leaves, ordering violets and looking through bulb catalogues, moving from citrus and herbal scents to woods and resins. They are small and personal things - I'm certainly not a 'no white shoes after labor day' type of person - but each one is a rediscovery of things forgotten (if only for 6 months), and an anticipation of cool days ahead, rugged up and cosy.
Here's a flower. A dahlia from our garden, no less, and I see we aren't the only ones keen to have a piece of this:
I was very proud during the week to have picked up a copy of Aspire Magazine, a free publication circulated at various venues around Adelaide, because I am in it! Well, it wasn't about me in my gracious living room (a la "Hello" magazine), but there was a small article about Shanghai Lil & The Scarlet Fez soaps! I was very happy about it and I'm chuffed to be in this new, very smart, magazine. Here's the article, but I recommend reading the whole magazine, of course!
And finally, I am at the Wattle Street market in Fullarton on 12 April 2014, and Pop up at Prospect (Prospect Road) on 26 April 2014. Come by and say hello and smell the soaps, bath salts, room sprays and perfumes I have on offer!

Marketing
Upcoming Event
I am happy to report that Shanghai Lil and The Scarlet Fez will be at the next That Dapper Market on Saturday, 29th March 2014. Here is the flyer for the event:
We had such a good time last time and met a lot of lovely people and got to help them make a selection from the 19 different varieties of soap we had for sale there!
This time around, there won't be so many varieties, but there will still be plenty to choose from. I think I will group them into "floral", "aromatic" and "gourmet" to make things easier for people.
Also, I hope to have bath salts and room sprays there too. And...fingers crossed...new perfumes!
So, there will plenty to see, smell and buy! Here is a shot of the stall from last year (this year, it will be bigger!):
I am lining up some other market gigs too, so I will keep you informed both here and on facebook.

That Dapper Market
Dear Diary, today is my first market...
Yes! Finally Shanghai Lil and The Scarlet Fez will be appearing at That Dapper Market today from 3pm to 9pm. No, there won't be singing and dancing but there will be plenty of soap - SIXTEEN varieties, no less, plus some beautiful bath salts and room sprays. Come down and have a look, it's a great little market with plenty of atmosphere and a good mix of vintage, hand-crafted, food (especially vegan!), music and fun!
