Flower Friday

It's Friday and doesn't that make you wanna do this?



Because life is just that good...



Even though it looks like it will be a rainy weekend we plan to still be at the market tomorrow with soaps and flowers!



And you know you can't wait to come to see this smiling face...



Be there or be square!

Japanese Cherry Blossom Soap

I'm really excited about all the new fragrances for this spring, but most excited about this lovely Japanese Cherry Blossom!



It is identical to my favorite fragrance from Bath and Body from years ago! It's so light that it's just right!



As always I added some activated charcoal and sparkles to the top! Gotta have sparkles!!



And, did I mention that I love pink? Well, this pink mixed with the cranberry color is a bold combo, but turned out well!



I'm so excited to get all of our new stuff out this spring! Be on the lookout! We're getting ready for two shows coming up in April in the Richmond area!



Think spring!
