Cupcakes Anyone?

It's always an honor to be asked to make favors for special occasions. Most recently I was asked to make pink soap cupcakes for a friend's wedding. They will be her favors this coming weekend!



It's very special to be a part of someone's special time.



The soaps turned out lovely and they really do look like edible cupcakes.

Spearmint Eucalyptus Goodness

d

I just love the fresh clean scent of the spearmint eucalyptus soap.



The smell is just enough to pick you up!



Mint is such a delightful cleaning fragrance! And, the activated charcoal inside is an added bonus!

Soap by the seashore

This Seaside Cotton soap is not only colorful and happy, but it smells so fresh, crisp, and clean! A nice blend of ocean and clean cotton!

Great for all of you beach lovers out there!



And a little bling on the top too!

Spring Bada Bing

We were so excited to be invited back again this year to the Spring Bada Bing at Hardywood Park Craft Brewery! It was a lovely event with lots of people supporting local and handmade!

Our neighbors were Awl Snap! Super friendly with lots of great leather goods! Their leather beer bottle koozies were a hit!



Here are some pics from some of the other vendors...

















Thank you to everyone who came out and supported the event and us! It was a great time! Thank you to my Dynamo who helped me prep, setup, take down, etc. etc. We make a great team!

Blueberry Lemon Verbena

This Blueberry Lemon Verbena is just amazing...



I just love the fragrance and the colors...



And, it's almost blueberry time!

Order up!

We work hard to make each and every request just right! Recently, we have had some lovely custom requests!



These pretty mini bars headed to a bridal shower! Scented with blueberry lemon verbena, these lovely bars were to packaged up with a tag saying "From Shelly's shower to yours!"



How clever!! I just love the bold navy blue! We try very hard to match colors (usually they are pretty close)!



Our friends at Warthan Farms Photography wanted soaps and lip balm for their workshop attendees! And, we were happy to provide! Jennifer loves pink and wanted to try the loofahs in addition to her custom cotton blossom soap. We also added some peppermint lip love to the package! Oh, I'm so excited!!



Hillary with Hillary O'Dell Photography wanted something special as a thank you gift when working with her new moms! So, we put together this pretty soothing lavender package! Lavender loofah soap, lavender oatmeal soap, and lavender mint lip love! What a special treat to show new moms how special they are to her!



Each and every custom order is tailored to fit the customer's needs and purpose! We enjoy helping you make your customers/clients/friends feel special! Thank you for trusting us to create something perfect just for you!

Minty Fresh

I'm so excited about this latest creation! Spearmint Eucalyptus Soap!



Years ago I had some pillow mist from Bath and Body and fell in love with that minty combo! Well, this bar is nothing short of amazing! It really is light and fresh.



Just the right amount of mint! A new favorite!



I wanted the colors to make you feel calm and cool when you looked at them! It turned out that each bar looks like a little landscape! What a good accident!



And to top it off I used my favorite add-ons...Activated charcoal and poppy seeds! This really is a delightfully light and cool bar! You'll love it!

We're baaaaackkkk with some "V" Soap!!!!

It's finally time for a soapy post friends!

We took a nice vacation to Florida (hope to post on that soon) and now we're back to soapmaking and getting ready for Christmas!



I recently ventured into a another brand new fragrance! I've been getting lots of requests for unisex fragrances, so this one was on the list!

This is called Vetyver Blend! To make it easy let's call it "V Soap"! It rocks!



An amazing blend of Lemon & Rosemary, florals, Sandalwood, Patchouli and finally, the luscious blend finishes off with musk and vetyver. This is some good stuff!

You're going to love this! And, you can get some for yourself at my upcoming Craft Show on Saturday, December 14, at the Dogtown Dance Theatre in Richmond. We're there 11 a.m. until 5 p.m.! Be there or be square!

Farmers Market Fabulous Finds...

Last Saturday at the Petersburg Farmers Market was fun and filled with lots of good stuff!



If you weren't there you should consider coming this Saturday!



We're going to be there bright and early from 7 a.m. until noon!!



Charlie loves his visitors! Human and dog alike...







Thanks to everyone for coming out and supporting all of the vendors.



And, I must thank one of my customers for her dedication to reusing and recycling! I'm a big fan of "green" so when Meg showed up having saved her bag from last year I was so excited! Thank you, Meg, for being GREEN!!



Now, here are some pics of all of the goodies you will find at the Market!

Veggies (of course)...









Greens...





Trees as I call them...



Baked goods...



Herbs...





So, snap to it...



And get down to the Market this Saturday!



Because you just can't 'beet' the deals you'll get here for locally good stuff!



We 'squash' the competition by offering lots of variety you just can't find in the grocery stores!



So, come on out or you'll be cryin' cause you missed it!

Remember that we've moved to the other side of the tracks...



Still under the bridge next to the train station!
