Happy July 1st!  Wishing you a wonderful holiday filled with lots of festivities and fresh watermelon.  Even though they are awfully cute, I do not recommend eating my Watermelon soaps ( coulour and scented Watermelon) that are available now online.  I love using mine in the shower every morning.  There is just something delightful about pampering oneself with a bright and decadent vegan soap first thing in the morning!  I highly recommend giving it a try! And while the first half of the year has passed by,  I am already working on Halloween items and Wintery/Christmas designs.  It seems early,...

Hi there! This blogs pic is a throwback to 2006 (almost 20 years ago!) when I made these beauties for retail sale in local shops.  I didn't have my own shop so sold them to gift shops around Manitoba.  They were so pretty!  I can remember that these were actually a mistake when I was trying to create another technique from a book (there wasn't too much internet back then so inspiration/instructions came mostly from books).  They turned out so neat that I tweaked my mistake even more and ended up with my original Hartmont Signature candle. I tell this...

  Happy September to all!  Salt Spring Island Fall Fair is over for another year and I am so thrilled to accept the honour of winning first prize for my soap entries this year!!  I think I can safely say that I am one of Salt Spring Island's best soap makers.  The theme of the fair was Mad about Plaid so of course I had to take a crack at making plaid soaps.  Lemme tell you, it was not easy!  Suffice to say that tutorials on the internet are lacking in alot of details that are gonna make or break...

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...
