What’s in stock now

As promised, here is the current stock list and spring sale prices.  Soaps are a minimum of 4 oz. when cut and individually packaged.    All Texas sales will include sales tax.  Online sales will be quoted shipping at order.  Gift sets and custom orders available upon request.  Looking for a specific scent?  Let me know!

Chocolate Soap $3.50/bar- 18 bars available

Vanilla Soap $3.50/bar- only 4 bars left

Homestead Soap (Unscented, no additives) $3.00/bar- only 5 bars left

Cedar Soap $3.50/bar- only 1 left

Olive Oil Castile Soap $3.50 bar- 9 bars left

My milling of the beer soap (see previous post) will push it into April before it will be ready.  The honeysuckle should be on this list before the end of spring too!  Those who put in preorders will be notified as soon as they are ready to ship.  For you guys, there are the Teakwood & Moroccan Mint on the way too.  Why am I excited about these guy scents?  Because of the poor men who would come to me and say they don’t want to smell sweet or like flowers!  They want something with a bit more manliness to it.   These are definitely more manly and the ladies have all responded with two thumbs up so far.  My personal favorites for the guys- beer (Texas Suds here since we do local beers in it) and teakwood- woohoo!

I am interested in your feedback, commenting here or emailing me privately, about loyalty programs.  I have pondered these programs many times and find some attractive to me as a customer while others were too involved.  I’ve seen the buy one get one free deals, the offer for a discount off your next order, frequent shopper discounts or freebies, collecting points to redeem, and the “members get advance notice” ideas, just to name a few.  I will take advantage of some of these as a customer while others just seem to be too much trouble.  What is better to your family?  Do you think the programs are worth it?  What are some of your favorites?  Or are they a way to help justify higher prices?

Due to schedule conflicts, I will not be able to attend Donna’s Spring Market this month.  I am adjusting my calendar while we handle the recent family death and will keep you posted where you will be able to find me.  I can still be found locally at my regular spots and always available online!  Now the sun is rising again and the soap molds are calling me.  I must submit to their siren song.  Hope your day is a beautiful as this one looks to be here!

Happy Washing!

January’s Racks

I’ve had a ton of fun lately in the kitchen playing with some new recipes and scents. Santa brought me some new smellies to play with so I’ve been more than happy to experiment 🙂 It has kept me busy and now almost everything is ready to come off the drying racks. If all comes out as well as it has tested so far, there will be plenty of new fun scents for the spring! I might even finally have gotten the hang of colors- hooray!  We’ve had great progress on a men’s scent and honeysuckle and we hope to have both of those out by spring so keep fingers crossed.

Well, that also means the regular racks are almost all cleared too and everything smells great!  I’m happy to report that some requested scents, like chocolate, are back.  I’m working on getting everything wrapped up but will continue to answer emails so just drop me a line.  If you were one of those hoping to get some of the chocolate soap, please contact me soon as there is only a limited supply.  This batch is so true smelling that the kids and neighbor came in looking for brownies again!  In all, we have these varieties available both as individual bars and gift sets:  plain, vanilla, olive oil, chocolate, cedar, and a few ginger peach tea.  Most bars are bath soap sized but there a few hand soaps available.

Promise to post pictures before week ends but now I have to run- it’s the princess’ birthday and I’ve got to get busy!!  Happy Birthday Princess!!

And Happy Washing to All!
