My time to make soap has slowed down over the years, but we still use it every single day so when I realized we had just over a month’s worth of soap left (3 bars!!), I shoved a bunch of other “required chores” aside for a couple of weekends and made it happen! It was good to get back to…
Soaping
It feels amazing to get back to making soap after so long, I’ve missed it. Today’s batches are the very first soaps made in our new home and omg, I love the room I’ve got to do it all. Today’s soapmaking included a peppermint soap, a vanilla soap with goat’s milk, and a delicious citrus fragranced soap with real silk…

Customers have been requesting more unscented and all natural soap options and I think I might be over delivering, but really – any excuse to make more soap is always welcome here! All soaps are finishing their cure and are in the process of being trimmed, boxed, and labeled, so they are ready when they go in stock on November…
On our FAQs page, I’ve details what is in our soaps, but in the interest of keeping that page short, I didn’t give a whole of information. I get frequent emails asking for more information about what is in our soaps, so I thought I’d bring all my answers together here. As stated in our FAQ page: “We use premium…
Following up on my post a few weeks ago, The Artisan Group just released the 2014 GBK MTV Movie Awards Gift Guide and I have to share it!
