Apple Orchard

So, it appears that I'm not the only one who'd like to hurl a computer out the window on occasion. Anyway, here's a recent batch that smells really really good. I wondered if combining green and red would result in a soap that looked like Christmas, but it looks believable as a red/green apple. (At least I like to think so!)

Last Chance Sale...at least for now

 Hello all! In preparation for our big move from our rental next month, I've put my entire Etsy shop on sale now through Friday. I'll re-open as soon as I'm able but I'm not sure exactly when that will be! So much is up in the air right now.  In the meantime, help me make my move a little lighter!! And for my local shoppers, I'm restocking several of my stores next week with my remaining inventory. Thanks to all of you for your business the past 12 years and I'll see you on the flip side!

However, it is hardening and doesn't zap.  So

I'm still working on the details but I'll likely be discontinuing a number of fragrances, so get them while you can. Thanks and stay tuned for more soaps and fragrances this summer!
