some gift cards that my great aunt painted over 50 years ago....all done when her vision was very poor. She had made her living painting such cards...mainly from memory of Australian Wildflowers


For Susan .........a red colour that u might like to use one day

It is all gone

the soap called *sensual man* is gone except for a few bars i am keeping for the house. I rarely do that with any fragrance, but this one has been soo beautiful i just cant let it all go. the vanilla chips in it were a masterstroke addition.
people have really liked it, which is good of course .....but i cant repeat this batch as it had real West Australian sandlewood essential oil in it that i had hoarded for some years ........and it is all used up.
It had aged and mellowed beautifully that oil
I am not buying more. i will however make another blend using a fragrace oil.
