Back to Business

Both Dick and I took a few days off this past week but we've been making up for lost time in the shop. Now that we're caught up with everything, we've been able to add a few new varieties to the lineup. We had a huge essential oil delivery arrive before we left, so there were plenty of scents to play with. Still working on the name thing, as usual.

First off we have a cocoa butter soap scented with a Lemongrass blend. There have been a lot of requests for lemongrass, and this one is very rich.

Another essential oil blend is a Lavender Spice. Lots of lavender and clove, plus a few rose notes from palmarosa and rosewood.

Still more lemongrass! This one is blended with coconut for a light, summery scent. I love anything that lets me pretend I'm on the beach.

Dick came up with a mix of vanilla, orange, cinnamon, and some cedar for depth (he's nothing if not deep). Kind of like a spicy creamsicle, but better.

Finally, I decided we needed a new blend for Heaven. This one is still light but more floral than our old soap. There have to be flowers in heaven, don't you agree?

All these soaps will make their debut at the Leesburg Flower and Garden show. And we're still soaping away, so any fragrance suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
