We are OPEN!

After 16 years of making soap, and dreaming of some day owning a soap store, we have finally done it. Except that the product we are selling is not our handmade soap, and we do not have a store front. Instead, we have an online store and we are selling everything necessary for making soap!

February was our opening, and we've been on a learning curve ever since with getting a handle on everything from ordering stock and importing goods to shipping and website maintenance. We are enjoying it, and have met many lovely people from all walks of life, each handcrafting their own unique and beautiful soap and body products. We have been pleasantly surprized to find there are many more crafters out there than we had initially thought, and no matter where we go we can find chemical free, natural products.

The website has extensive soap making instructions as well as recipes for a variety of body products so if you want to try making your own natural products at home be sure to check it out!
