My life's blood...soap...

CHECK IT OUT...
Now this is a soap display...yummm...
My friend Sandy Newkirk is selling my soaps in her darling shop in the Amana Colonies...

I had to take this shot from my truck...did I mention the torrential downpours ALL DAY!!!
Sandy's lil' shop,'Amazing Grace Antiques and Gifts' sits back in by The Amana Bakery in a cute lil' niche brightly decorated with wonderful spring flower baskets and primitive antiques.

Wonderful displays fill the shop's nooks and crannies at every turn...

Sandy also carries various gifts for those not so inclined to buy antiques...can you imagine...
the nerve!!!
So please visit Sandy and her new shop, you'll love it...Sandy managed the Noe House where Lorie and I had a booth space...that is until they sold the building.
You won't find Sandy sitting and waiting for something to come around,
she is off and running...again!
Good luck girl!!!
Thanks for the soap order...AGAIN!!!

soooo, I also tweaked my own lil' world at Sisters' while making my deliveries...
sold a parlor table and a plant stand, so tweaking was in order...

Rainy, blustery days in Iowa...
I LOVE MY TRUCK!!!

Hunka, hunka love...

Ooh la la...silky, creamy lavender savon...these beautiful bars will soon be on their way to Texas, where Miss Lauri of Chippys will be adding them to her beautiful space at the show...y'all know what show I'm talkin' about...right!
Marburger Farms!

I've started making my lavender soap in extra large chunks, nearly double the size of the regular soap bars, it allows for the addition of a soap stamp.
Just a small embellishment, but a fun one...
very Provencal don't you think...

Wholesale, these batches sell at $3.50 per bar, but you must buy a whole batch of 16 bars,
$56.00 per batch.
A regular size bar, wholesale is $2.00 ea. or $32.00 per batch.

Many shops around the states are now carrying this wonderful soap or thrifty buyers are buying full batches for gifts or personal reasons, making the cost more reasonable...
especially once you get hooked on the feel and scent of each of these bars.

No kidding, even the men love the soap, especially the oatmeal, very soothing to dry skin.
I hear it over and over again, how much every one loves them...
and they all admit they're hooked...

TOLD YA...ha!
