Back in the Saddle Again....

I hope that you had a wonderful Christmas filled with family and friends, laughter and joy, and plenty of good food and rest!

I want to thank all those that ordered and purchased my soap and hope that it was a huge hit for your friends and family.  I find such great joy in making soap and hope that joy is passed on to those that receive it!


Well, it's time to get busy again restocking favorite Signature Soaps and adding some new Seasonal Soaps as well!  I ordered and received a huge stock of what we like to call "smellies" which are the fragrance and essential oils.

The "Smellies" are in the House. 
Lots of new fragrance and essential oils have arrived!
 

We will be adding a new soap called White Tea & Ginger.  That soap is made and curing as we speak!


White Tea & Ginger! 
A champagne colored soap with a swirl of creamy white,
topped off with a sweet smell of White Tea & Ginger fragrance!


Today I am making a multi-colored Honeysuckle scented soap.  It will have hues of green, white and rose with a soft, sweet smell of Honeysuckle. 
When we first moved to the farm in 2004, there was an old fashioned honeysuckle vine.  We no longer have that beautiful, sweet-scented vine and miss it's fragrant blossoms in the spring!
I just know that this soap will bring back fond memories of it's sweet springtime scent.

There will be more Spring Seasonal Soaps coming up that will include Lilac in Bloom, Rose Geranium, and Lily of the Valley.

The soap journey is indeed a fun and fascinating one - full of sweet scents and creative endeavors!

I hope you will stop by my booth at the DeKalb Indoor Farmer's Market.  Just check out my Events Page for location and times.  Looking forward to spring deliveries and friendly visits.

Wishing you a wonderful New Year ahead full of God's abundant blessings!

Thanks for stopping by ~

The Christmas Season Is Upon Us

It has been a wildly busy time and I am so thankful to God for His blessing upon this soap-making adventure!
I just finished my first Indoor Farmer's Market in DeKalb, Illinois.  It was AWESOME! 


One of our nutcrackers accompanied me for some Christmas cheer!

Little cups of free samples and lots of bars of soap!

And even more bars of soap!

My little Farmhouse Soaps booth!

What a great assortment of vendors, busy flow of customers, live music all day long, great food to be had, and an atmosphere of Christmas joy. 
It was so wonderful to see some long-time dear friends, have my booth next to my good friend Bridget who sells amazing up-cycled bags made from vintage clothing, curtains, tea towels and more.  Please do check out her website at Clothes The Bag.  Her creations are amazing and you will love the assortment of bags she carries.
I have also been making deliveries near and far and I think that is my favorite part of the soaping business.  Dropping off soaps, visiting and chatting, and being grateful for their friendships.
I still have some soap available if you would like to find a unique gift for a teacher or neighbor, babysitter or favorite store clerk.  Just click on the tab to buy soap and send me an email.

The only soaps I am sold out of at this time is the Pure Castile and Lavender Garden.  More will be available about the 1st of February.  Be sure to check out the tab Order Here for what soaps are available.  I am happy to ship and accept cash, checks and PayPal.

Until then, I hope you are enjoying this wonderful Christmas season with family and friends.


Until next time,
