Spring is Sproinging!
Hello Friends,
Spring is on the way! With giddy anticipation we welcome the cheerful season of love and flowers. Sweet spring brings the promise of new life, fresh starts and creative inspiration to a world weary of daily news and challenges. Slowly but steadily, the sun returns, warming our bones and lifting our spirits.
No matter how bleak the winter world may appear, nature’s wise, deep roots know that spring is approaching. Birds, too, are reading the signs and preparing their migrations according to plan. The entire orchestra of blooms and buds, seeds and grass, the birds and the bees, are all noisily tuning up, ready to burst into the symphony of spring at any moment.
The circle of the year -like the tides of the sea, and the cycles of all things – are constant and eternal. Our heartsare comforted by the familiar patterns as we journey through life. Yet the wonder and magic of spring’s beauty is one of the greatest joys.
Spring fragrances are naturally light and fresh. Frolicking in the new grass, dancing playfully in the blooming garden, this season’s calling card is clean and pure, soft, sweet and pretty. These new scents are limited in production and available February thru April. ($ 6.00 each)
SPRING RAIN - Spring rains are light and fresh, cheerfully splashing among fragrant flower petals and new green leaves. I’ve tried to capture this scent in a blend of soft rain, misty fog, ocean mist, sea moss, and dewy green leaves. A lovely sea glass blue color, this is a light, very fresh, water fragrance that feels happy, clean and new.
PINK PEONY – I’ve called this the most beautiful floral fragrance I’ve ever smelled, and for the past two years, it’s been hands down the most loved spring soap. Back my (many) requests! It’s modern and fresh, not “perfume-y and cloying. The fragrance description mentions marvelous things like sparkling cassis, bergamot, lemon, dandelion greens, honey, as well as peony petals, which means that it’s carefully blended to be the most elegant version of a peony bouquet that your imagination can come up with. All the freshness straight from the garden or flower shop – the dewy green leaves, the nectar of a fresh-cut stem, the lush sweet blossoms – it’s mesmerizing and you’ll want to luxuriate in it every day this spring.
TAHITIAN PETALS – Flowers are a miracle of nature, dazzling us with their magnificent beauty and intoxicating aromas. Each blossom is brilliant in its own unique way, but lush tropical flowers have a special magic. Maybe it’s just vacation vibes or the mai tais, but sultry jasmine, gardenias, orchids, and lilies are simply mesmerizing, inspiring this captivating floral scent for spring. Fragrance notes of gardenia, jasmine, pink orchid, pear nectar, with a base of sensual sandalwood make this stunningly elegant and sophisticated.
I WAS SOAPIN’ YOU’D BE MY VALENTINE
If you’ve got a special someone on your mind for Valentine’s Day . . . or any other spring occasion, like Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, birthdays, or just making it through the week – we’ve got a gift to make the celebration perfect. Who doesn’t love a little something that smells good, feels good, and they can use every day? Charming little sets with bars of soap paired with dishes, brushes or scrubby mitts. We also have larger combinations of treats in totes with a little bit of everything. Frilly, fresh, flowery spring scented sprays of Jasmine Lemon or Lilac Garden are the perfect antidote to an end of winter slump ($7 each).
Or why not show them you love them over and over, all year long. Gift them a Sudscription, our soap of the month club. They will receive 2 bars of fresh and seasonal soap at the beginning of every month – 3 months, 6 months, or a full year. It’s an everyday reminder that you want to pamper them, care for them, keep them healthy, safe, soft and lovely.
PRICE INCREASE
Pandemic + Inflation the last couple of years has been brutal. Every single thing – from ingredients to packaging to transportation to postage has increased, sometimes dramatically. Since the very start of my business I have strived to make my products as reasonably priced as possible. I want to have affordable daily luxuries that people don’t have to budget for or think twice about indulging in. But that only works if I still have a business. I know this is happening everywhere, and probably not a surprise, but I still hate having to do it. Prices on most items will increase by $1 this month.
SAMPLE SALE
I know I told you I would have some experiment/sample batches on sale this month but couldn’t finish those up in time. Stay tuned next month!
Wishing you a cheerful, hopeful spring! May the sun shine warmer and brighter wherever you are.
