Charity Baskets

Just sent out some baskets to charity for their silent auctions. Hope the events go well and the baskets help.

Soaps

Just finished wrapping some kitchen-ade!

New Kitchen coming along!

Hi Guys,
As promised photos on the progress of the kitchen.

New kitchen

My husband Gary has been building me a new soap kitchen. It's getting close to completion and I'm getting excited about moving in. It's a bigger space and will have an area to package and ship too.
I'll post pictures soon.

Growing Calendula Flowers

Calendula time, yeah!

 One of my favorite times of year, when the calendula is ready to harvest. These plants are little work horses. I will be able to pick flowers approximately every other day for the next few months. If I protect them through the hottest of the summer months I should get another season of blooms after that. You often hear people say that Calendula is the same as marigolds but that isn't true.  Calendula has so many healing properties and I love to add it to many of my soaps and creams.

getting closer to being online

Well, although I have been making soap for a long time and selling it to my massage and facial clients, I am now creating a web site. For someone who is not particularly computer savvy it's been a bit of a challenge.
There is a lot to think about and make sure you have right, before publishing.
For example, with it being an internet based company I have to think about shipping boxes and packaging, which I've never had to deal with before.
I'll be glad when it's all up and running and I can get back to what I love, creating and making soaps and creams. I find it so therapeutic and calming to be in the midst of all the beautiful organic and all natural oils, dried flowers and essential oils.
Oh well, back to the technical stuff for now.
Wish me luck!
