Christina Forbes Photography Special Order Soap

I received an email one day inquiring about a custom soap order from Christina for her photography business.

After the email we had a long talk over the phone about her style, colors, feel, etc. Christina really wanted to have a soap as part of her presentation package for clients. She felt that her time spent with Jennifer Warthan of Warthan Farms Photography was very special and she wanted her clients to have a piece of that in their packages. So, we re-created similar soaps to those Jennifer had ordered.

She decided on the mini soaps because they fit her presentation boxes best.



The bars are simple, rustic and neutral in color. We wanted to keep with her logo and the feel of her blog, website, and social media sites.



The soaps are a cotton scent.

Christina plans to add natural string/raffia as wrapping and maybe some tags. I'm looking forward to seeing her final finishing touches.



I really enjoyed working with Christina. I love working with fellow artists to create special bars for them. I appreciate the opportunity to work with Christina. Please go visit her website!

Soap for Yuppy Puppy!

We were so excited when we got the call from our new friend at Yuppy Puppy in Bethany Beach, Delaware, asking us to make some special doggie soap!!!



We got right to work creating this lovely combination of lavender and lemongrass for bug repellant properties with oats for moisturizing goodness! We added castor oil to make this bar super bubbly too!



This sure was a win win!! It smells and feels divine! Best part is that Charlie loves it!!



So, if you're looking for something fabulous for your fur-child here it is. It will make their coat super shiny!!



If you're in the area swing by and visit our friends at Yuppy Puppy!!!

Sponge Soaps

First, I apologize for not posting in so long. We've had a crazy couple of weeks, but now we're back on track!



I was so excited to run across a couple from Florida that harvests sea wool sponges from the Gulf of Mexico. They are the softest sponge you'll ever use!!



They harvest these naturally growing sponges, clean them, and then cut them to size for me to then use in our soaps!



It's like a soft scrub and soap all in one! You can use them all over, but they are super soft for your face!



We're getting ready to make some more soon since they were such a hit at the Market last week!!

Market Re-cap

Every Friday morning the flowers are cut super early while it's still cool! Then, they are brought inside to rest until we assemble them into bouquets!



These gorgeous bouquets are ready for you early Saturday morning at the Market!



We always recommend that you take them straight home, give them a fresh snip, and nice clean water! Make sure to give them fresh water every couple of days to keep them going strong!



It's been so lovely to be at the Market these past few weeks. New vendors, new shoppers, and happy faces!



Our new space at the market is down at the end by the railroad tracks! We're near the Brunswick stew couple and the honey man!



Last week was full of love and excitement for Charlie especially! He got to love on lots of new friends!



Like Elliott!

He got belly rubs...



And shared moochies...





And, he's made a new best friend with his bulldog buddy, Ace!



Ace is such a loving dog! He's only 10 months old and 90 lbs. He's a sweetie! Charlie sure does look forward to his friends visiting each week!



And, guess what? The Petersburg Animal Control/Shelter will be down at the market each week with adoptable animals! You might just find your next fur-child!!! They are always looking for donations in the form of food, blankets, etc. so please consider donating if you are able!



We hope to see your smiling faces at the market this Saturday from 7 till noon! Thanks for your continued support!!

Silly boy

Last week my parents got this new concrete driveway pad! For some reason I thought they put it in just for me to sun myself!



And, my mom just kept bugging me to look at that silly camera of hers! She even tried to get Dad to tempt me with flowers! Nope, still not looking!



I finally threw her a little bone (no pun intended) and gave a glance...
