New style of soaps!

I'm calling this new style (drum roll please) SOAP SLICES! Okay, not the most creative name, but I think it fits since the soap looks sort of like a slice of bread (sort of, or like the state of oregon), thus the name.
These goat milk soaps have a similar rustic, marbled look as our Classic round soaps, wonderful lather and are incredably gentle on the skin, but are different in shape, with fun names stamped right on the soap, bright colors (with the fragrances that allow me to color them brightly,) and bright, fun fragrances to match! A few fragrances will be ones you are already familiar with from our Classic round line that we decided to bring over to this new line. However we have many new fragrances we will be introducing over the coming weeks. These soaps are also slightly smaller (by weight) and a little more economical. Something we all could use in these difficult, economic times.

Here's what we have so far....

Peachy Keen: Sweet, juicy, Georgia peach, with a hint of zesty, white grapefruit. Summer year round!

Cedar & Saffron: A woodsy, earthy, cedar coupled with the spicy, grassy, sweet scent of Saffron. This is same popular fragrance used in our cream, lotion and body spray!


Oatmeal Milk & Honey: New look, but same great fragrance! Creamy oatmeal and milk sweetened with golden honey makes this fragrance absolutely edible. This soap also contains whole ground oats, local Clover Honey, and of coarse Creamy, White Goat milk.


Vanilla Bean: New look but the same great, classic, vanilla bean fragrance.


Star Man: New look and and formerly known as Star Anise & Lemon The sweetness of Star Anise and the Zing of bright Lemon. Truly Enticing!


Hunter's Moon: New Look but same great fragrance as found in our classic round Hunter's Moon. This is a rich masculine blend of musk, woods and oak moss, with a touch of lime and whisper of rose and cyclamen.

More coming soon!..................................................

Working on New Soaps!

As I mentioned in a prior post many weeks ago, I've been busy working on a new style of soap I'll soon be introducing. I've been having fun, fun, fun developing these soaps where there is no such thing as too little color;) Here are pictures of some I made yesterday.

Testing Day

I've been working (ever so slowly) on a new line of soaps that are going to be fun in color, fragrance, and name, and a little more economical than our round classic soaps. So today I spent the day testing new fragrance oil blends and color blends. Here are some of my test soap samples. Each are labeled with the scent or color blend I used.


Now if I could only remember what I scented this white, unlabeled sample with.

More New Candle Melt Scents!

We've added some new candle melt scents! As well as being great as they are, several are great blenders, meaning you can mix them with other fragrances of candle melts we carry for a different or unique blend of your own.

White Vanilla: Strong yet light vanilla with subtle notes of white orchid and white musk. No bakery notes so that even those of you that are not into food type scents would probably enjoy this one. Great on it’s own or try blending it with any of our floral or fruit scents.

Cinnamon Strudel: Flaky pastry made with real butter and sprinkled with cinnamon sugar warm from the oven. This is great on it’s own or mix with any of our fruit scents for a delicious fruit pie scent.

Peppermint and Eucalyptus: A clean, brisk, energizing blend of two favorites.

Baked Apple Cinnamon: This is a yummy baked apple sprinkled with cinnamon, sugar and butter. And if you aren’t counting carbs blend this with our Cinnamon Strudel for a wonderful Cinnamon Apple Strudel scent.

Testing new pumpkin and spice scents!

I've spent the last couple days testing pumpkin and spice scents for our candle melts and during this time I've learned that 99% of these type of fragrances are predominately cinnamon blends. Now I like cinnamon, but what's happened to clove, allspice, or nutmeg(one of my favorites)? They probably don't sell as well (big sigh.) Oh well, I do have a couple pumpkin scents that smelled yummy when pouring my testers. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that they will throw well in our melts.... To be continued!

New candle melts scents added!

New candle melts scents added to our web store, and all other scents (except Lily of the Valley) are back in stock. New scents include the following: Bartlette Pear, Clean Cotton, Twilight Woods, Ripe Cantaloupe, Lemongrass & Sage, Black Raspberry Cream, Sliced Pineapple, and Apple Harvest. For descriptions see web store;)

If you notice, many of the scents we carry are single notes fragrances which make for easy blending. For example if you like apples and oranges, blend our new Apple Harvest with our California Orange. Like Lavender blends ? Try blending our Soft Lavender with our new Clean Cotton, or classic White Gardenia or.........you get the idea. The blending combinations are endless.
