No more soap sales + being copied

I have discontinued soap sales, at least temporarily. I have had a lot of fun over 18 years making soap and meeting so many other interesting people. Thank you everyone .
Maybe I will get back to it again later, but meanwhile I will be making only for personal use and gifting..

SOAPS FOR VINNIES





I WILL DONATE THE FULL PROCEEDS OF SALES OF ANY OF MY RETAIL SOAPS TO
ST VINCENT DE PAUL
THIS APPLIES FROM
NOW.


ANY SOAP BOUGHT RETAIL FROM ME , WILL HAVE THE ENTIRE PROCEEDS GIVEN DIRECTLY TO VINNIES


I WILL DO THIS UNTIL...... I CANT.


so please contact me from my web site to buy.


I will be only able to do this for a while after which I intend to create some other scheme to donate


obviously this will not include the cost of postage which will be born by the purchaser


my very basic web site will have minimal changes to reflect this .


please check with this blog and check with me as to availability of soap.
i would like all purchases to be made by direct debit /money order/cleared cheque/cash.
i will not be taking credit cards




thank you

and of course the dog



you can see here the dryness of the grass she is sitting on.
the recent heat has decimated so much in my garden and there is more heat to come

a favourite fragrances... *Provence* and* Vaniliga de Madagascar*

this smiley face was thrown up from the cutting of the guest size soaps.







from Scentworks in the USA. I always make Provence with blue and green.
one day i will add a bit of lavender colour to it also..........but i forgot last night
..and i didnt make it as dark in colour as i had planned either.
which means i shouldnt soap at 12 mn when i have plenty of time to do otherwise

the Vanilla fragrance which is a luscious deep vanilla comes
out as a rich rich rich chocolate colour

i love that vanilla and my friend Sue will be glad i finally made it up
