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..

August Was



a trip back into time when i went to RPAH and saw a showcase with some WW2 memorabilia.
the nurses uniform is the exact one that was worn by the deputy matron when i was a student nurse.
she was known as the "grey nurse ". and she was.!!!!  (as in grey nurse shark... for those who dont live
 on coastal waters) i have often felt that her generation of nurses owed some of their attitudes to the tough times they no doubt experienced in the war.
the uniform that she maintained well into peace time sort of reinforces that thought

Diane, didn't all deputy matrons wear grey uniforms? I did my training at St Lukes in Kings Cross, seeing that pic of the uniform it brought back memories for me, I am sure deputy matron wore grey and matron wore white, sisters wore blue.
