Soaping is complete for the upcoming Salt Spring Island Fall Fair (Sept 6&7)!  I've made beach soaps, cat soaps, all natural soaps and Vegan Olive Oil soaps in an array of colours. I do still make all of my own candles, melts, tealights and bath bombs but this past month has been dedicated to soap making as it takes soap 4-6 weeks to cure to perfection.  I have made all of my soaps to factor in that 6 week window before being offered for purchase at the Fall Fair.  So not only can you come and see me to stock...

Hi everyone and Happy May! As some may have already figured out, I am not doing the local Salt Spring Island Farmer's Market this year.  I have opted to take the summer to learn some new glass making skills (to be added to my line later in the Summer) which requires some class time at studios on Vancouver Island and the mainland.  Those are usually on a Saturday so I have allotted my Saturdays to learning instead of in person selling (most of this year anyways).  I have dug out my stained glass equipment for making some items from small...

Greetings from the West Coast! Hopefully wherever you are, your cold weather is going away and you are seeing signs of Spring.  Here, it's been Spring like weather for at least a month now, if not longer.  The daffodils are blooming, I saw yellow water lilies blooming in a stream area just today and the Wild Rose bushes have been in bloom for a few weeks now.  The trees are now a sea of white and purple and green.  It definitely is Spring here! There's been so much going on that I almost missed this anniversary of an event that...
