Fall is in the Air

The leaves are starting to change, and the air is growing crisp.  Hurray! Fall is finally here in the PNW.  Fall is my favorite season and to kick it off right I have 3 New candle fragrances joining my ever growing list of Fall Candle Fragrances.

Cranberry Apple Marmalade:  A festive blend of apples, oranges, spiced cranberries, cinnamon, clove and warm vanilla.

Apple Harvest:  A true, ripe apple fragrance combined with bright fruit notes and just a touch of spice.

Amish Harvest: This fragrance screams fall.  A exquisite blend of spices with just a touch of dried fruit notes.

We have been working on lots of other fun things for this years Holiday season. 

From beeswax candles to brainstorming some bath and body gift basket ideas!

Here are a few of our NEW items.

We have also been working on these adorable little travel sized tins.  These are perfect for small rooms and traveling. 

Just in time for your Harvest table: our brand new Hand-Rolled 100 % Beeswax candles.  Great for adding that special touch to your Harvest table or as the perfect hostess gift for your next holiday party.

Votives and Tealights now available in ready to give elegant Eco-chic gift boxes wrapped with a simple black raffia bow.  Votives are packaged in a pack of 4, and tealights are packaged in a dozen.

We have two amazing new soaps for fall:  Cranberry Citrus and Apple Jack

And as you can see our Pumpkin Spice Puree Garden fresh soap has darkened up perfectly now that it has cured!

We have lots of other wonderful stuff up our sleeve including a couple of craft projects and two up-cycle projects that we want to work on in the next couple of weeks. 

Pumpkin Spice Puree

My first experiment into our 'Garden Fresh' soap.  Pumpkin Spice Puree-a deliciously creamy Handmade Soap made with REAL pumpkin puree and a sweet fragrance blend of Pumpkin, cinnamon, and clove.  The above picture was taken at 2 days after pour.  I am sure that this particular soap will deepen in color. 

'Garden Fresh' you ask..yes!  We have been brainstorming ideas for a line of soaps made with Fresh Fruits/Vegetables.  Yummy ingredients like Avocados, Cucumbers, Pumpkin Puree, Carrots, and more.  Soap that is filled with Good for you Vitamins and Minerals, or what we like to call Skin Food.  You can begin to look for our Garden Fresh Soap starting in September with our Pumpkin Spice Puree Garden Fresh Soap.  (a limited edition fall soap-available mid-September)

This picture (right) was taken a few weeks after pouring.  As you can see it has darkened up some, but still retains it's creamy orange pumpkin look.  A sprinkling of Cocoa Powder adds just the right touch.

Ingredients:  Olive oil, Distilled Water, Coconut oil, Palm oil, Sodium Hydroxide, Pumpkin Puree, Shea Butter, Castor oil, Cocoa Butter, and Fragrance Blend.

We look forward to sharing our new soap with you at the next show!

 We have been busy in the workshop brainstorming more Garden Fresh ideas! Our ultimate goal will be to make our Garden Fresh soap with Locally sourced fresh ingredients during the growing and Harvest Seasons.  We have also found a fantastic local Goat farm that we will be getting Fresh Goat's milk from for our Goat's milk soaps!  Every little bit we can do to support other small businesses in our local community. 

We also have some great news coming your way that we look forward to sharing with you!

As always have a happy soapy day!

Fall is my most favorite time of year.  I was picking up my son from school the other day and saw this beautiful tree all ablaze with the colors of fall.  I just had to shoot a pic.  Thankfully this time of year I carry my camera with me everywhere..did I mention I love fall? Anyway...just had to share it!  Just look at those beautiful colors! 

We have been working hard in the studio...I will have lots of fun stuff to show you soon!  Since it's busy season for us we are doing a ton of craft shows...so far we have 3 scheduled for Nov..plus on waiting list for 2 more! and 3 scheduled for December! 

Have a Happy Fall Day!
