Pine Tar Soaps and New Oatmeal Face Soap are REALLY SPECIAL

As more and more customers have tried my vegan pine tar handcrafted soap scented with pure lavender and vanilla essential oils, they have really started to fly off the shelves. Many of my customers say it has been a God sent and buy multiple bars at a time to make sure they don't run out. :o)

Due to the high demand of the pine tar soap, soon I will also have a new scent of this best seller. I have kept the great basic formula the same, but only modified the essential oil blend to create my new version with lavender and sage essential oils, instead of the original lavender vanilla essential oil blend. The lavender and smokey pine tar scent are still the top notes, but now the sage creates a lovely herbal note. Just like before, it is a great unisex scent that is sure to be a winner! The first batch will be ready around mid-March.

My latest NEW handcrafted soap, Oatmeal Face Soap, has had a great reception. I had originally designed the soap by request for a friend, who like many of her family members, suffered from chronic acne issues for as long as they could remember. Having tried pretty much every over the counter and several prescription products, she still battled the breakouts on a regular basis. She and many others are super happy with how this new bar has come out. I just heard from a customer yesterday that she accidentally got some lather in her eyes while washing her face and she was shocked that it didn't sting at all. This was news to me, but I'm glad I know now. :o) She loved this soap before, but REALLY loves it now. This is quickly becoming a new best seller. Want to try some for yourself?

Crazy Busy!! It sure is the gift giving season!







Kilns have been cranking 'round the clock, camera working overtime, and fingers a little sore from wire working, but LOVING IT! Those recycled wine bottle items I have been making lately are going like hot cakes. I can barely make them fast enough to keep up with demand. Friends are having a hard time keeping up with my empty bottle demand. LOL!! Might have to find some recruits to help out emptying some bottles. :o)

There is still some time to get your before Christmas, but don't wait long or the one you had your eye one WILL be gone.

Don't forget to check out my wonderful new line of bath and body products...

I have some great lip balms to keep your lips soft and kissable during those rough winter months.

Handcrafted soaps that keep your skin clean and soft, not to mention smell good enough to eat, but please don't. :o)

Solid perfume sticks that moisturize your skin and make you smell delicious at the same time. These are great for travel! No need to separate it with your liquids for air travel and no worries about surprise leaks and smelling like a perfume factory when you reach your destination. I have both men's and women's fragrances!

Last, but certainly not least, check out my wide line of wonderful goat milk and honey lotions. The scents are intoxicating and the lotion will smooth the roughest toughest skin. I used to use only Aveeno, because I have sensitive skin, but even with all the scents, this creamy lotion does not bother me a bit. Give it a try. I'm sure you'll be a fan, too. Can't decide on a scent?? Pick one of my prepackaged gift baskets that include 2 - 2.2 oz. lotions, plus one lip balm. They are already put together in great gift combinations making the selection easy.
