Feedback

Having a really good day today.  I have been featured on the creation collaboration blog hop, and got some great feedback on the order I got through Folksy: "Quick delivery and the soap is very high quality, scents are natural and clean smelling."

It is lovely to know that someone other than me likes my soap.

Body Veil

Finally I have got some labels for my body butter. I have gone for frosted glass jars which I am very happy with. The labels are ever so slightly too big, and are not quite what I want, but will do for the time being!

Balm

I made my first balm this afternoon, an eye balm. I packed it with lots of lovely ingredients like shea and mango butters,olive squalane and orchid complex. It feels really nice on my eye area, and will be a good stating point for a foot balm although I think it needs less oil.

More New Things

I am in the process of adding my bath salts to the website. At the moment there are two options, but more will follow. I just need to find a better background for the photograph!

New Things

I went to Wales today to collect some lovely soap dishes.  They are stoneware, handmade and I think they look great.  I am offering them either on their own or with soap.

Guild Membership

I have just been accepted into the Guild of Craft Soap and Toiletry Makers. It is great to be in such illustrious company and makes me feel like a proper soap maker!

Coming soon to my website, are the bath salts, body butters and some beautiful soap dishes. Watch this space!

My First Order

It has been a lovely few days of sunshine, with hope of a real summer.  I think we deserve one after the winter we have had.

Mum has been foisting my products on poor unsuspecting guinea pigs. Yesterday, she gave a sample of my body butter to a friend, who has placed an order for a full size pot. Yippee, my first order. From tiny acorns, and all that.

I am trying to find suitable outlets for my products rather than just relying on the internet. It is a really time consuming excercise, but hopefully will bear fruit.

Gardens are starting to look lovely after their long sleep. I don't have a garden to speak of, so I have to make do with a few pots. My Camelia is just about to flower, and the Passion Flower never fails. It is a lovely bright purple spot in an otherwise dull spot.
