Post-Christmas Trading Chronicle : missballantyne

I just love trading with some fellow Etsy sellers. It is such a fun way to discover new shops and get great stuff! And the Holidays have been the perfect backdrop to get in touch with new talented Etsians! I've discovered some amazing artists that have since been featured in my "Trading Chronicles" series. That is how I came accross missballantyne's shop. She crafts beautiful body products that have a unique vintage and glamourous feel to them.

In this fabulous trade, I got this great Handyman's Cream Wax. I gave it to my father as a Christmas present and he loved it! It has a great texture and doesn't have a too strong smell.


Here are some other great items from missballantyne's shop.

Organic Mango Butter Body Lotion

Organic Rose Cream 60mL for Sensitive, Red, Mature or Dry Skin

When I traded with her back in December, I got this retro-inspired apron. I wrestled with the idea of keeping it for myself, but I finally gave it to a friend as a hostess gift. And she looooooved it!
