New "Limited Edition" Soaps!

Just for fun I've created two new "limited edition" soaps. Okay, actually I was making one of my regular batches of soaps and screwed up by forgetting to add the white coloring to the raw soap base. Once I realized my mistake it was too late and I had 16lbs of cooked soap I needed to quickly figure out what to do with. With some quick scent blending and creative coloring these two delicious soaps are the results.

Introducing;

Tickled Pink
A blend of sugared raspberries and bubbly champagne. Fun and berry bubbly!

And

Orange You Happy?

With notes of juicy orange, golden honey, candied fruits, lemon peel and patchouli, this sunny, orange fragrance is the perfect remedy for the chilly, wet and dreary days of spring we are currently experiencing here in the Northwest. And a special note to you patchouli haters, and I know you are out there. I only used a smidgen of patchouli ( I swear.) So don't let the name patchouli sway you from trying this yummy blend.

And as a special treat for our online customers, during the month of April, these soaps which are regularly priced $6.95 will be available at $5.00 each!

Woodland Tulip Festival

I hope we didn't disappoint anyone with our no show at yesterday's (Sat. April 3rd) Woodland Tulip Festival. Vehicle troubles (couldn't get the van to start) kept us grounded for the day. Curt was able to get her up and running for today's outing at the festival. And hopefully the weather was better in Woodland, Washingtion than it was this afternoon here in Molalla, Oregon. Probably not, but it looks like next weekend is shaping up to be a little better weather than this weekend was. We'll see.

Removing Candle Melts from Packaging

I want my blog to be a place where you can get the nitty-gritty information on our products, so with that in mind let me show you how I remove our candle melts from the clamshells packaging.

Some of our candle melts are easily removed by gently pressing on the bottom of the packaging as shown in the two pictures below.

**************************************************************************************

However, some of our fragrances make the wax a little stickier, but using my method, pictured below, even those are easily to removed from the clam shell.

First I open the lid.

Next I bend the package back along the crevices of the clamshell like pictured below.

Bend 1

Bend 2

Bend 3

Now the candle melt has cracks in the wax that look like this


And now, by pressing gently on the back of the package, I easily remove the wax 1 square at a time.
