Dear
Friends,
The
word “spring” has so many meanings, not the least of which is the season that
follows winter. Hope springs eternal, water springs from the ground, super
heroes spring into action, and a spring is what makes a trampoline bounce. We joke about our spring chickens, savor
our spring rolls, and each year we carry out our spring cleaning.
All
of it is positive, uplifting stuff.
However, the time of year when the weather begins to warm and Mother
Nature starts revitalizing all her plants, flowers and trees seems incredibly
magical. It’s the most anticipated
season of all, bringing with it a sense of joy, relief and wonder.

Yesterday the
twig was brown and bare;
Today the glint
of green is there; Tomorrow will be leaflets spare;
I know no thing
so wondrous fair,
No miracle so
strangely rare.
I wonder what
will next be there!
~ L.H. Bailey

We sow
our seeds, plant our little seedlings, and watch all the tiny green buds pop
out of branches and sprout up from the sun spots in the dirt. New beginnings, full of new life and new hope
– that’s the miracle of spring.
NEW
- SPRING SEASONAL SOAPS
For
me, spring scents are inherently light, in a palette of fresh, flowery and
green. After months of dead leaves and
naked trees, the hint of blossoms in the breeze is a welcome breath of fresh
air. This year I’m bringing back a couple of much loved spring seasonal scents
from the way back machine. These new seasonal fragrances are limited in
production and available February thru May.
My “regular menu” of standard soaps is available year round, with all
time favorites of of Lavender Lemongrass, French Lavender, Clove Mint, Vanilla
Bean & Honey, and at least a dozen more – standby’s for both men and
women. See website for full selection: SoapworksStudio.com/soap.
($
4.25 each or 4 bars for $16)
JASMINE
LEMON - Sweet jasmine blossoms blended
with bright, clean lemon. A very pale
shade of sunshine yellow, it’s bright and happy, soft and pretty.
ROSE
PETAL – This fragrance is absolutely true rose, a fresh bouquet of pink and red
rose petals. Nothing perfumey or
old-fashioned, this is a very sophisticated fresh floral scent in a pretty pink
bar.
ORANGE
SPICE – Last season’s Clove Orange soap has been one of the most popular and
requested scents, so I’ve pumped up the spice a little and kept it on the menu. Sweet orange, spicy cloves and a big pinch of
cinnamon, it’s a bit softer than the Breakfast soap with no texture added.
(100% natural)
PURE
SOAP – Many more people are asking for a pure, natural, unscented soap
lately. Sensitivities are becoming more
prevalent, and as we learn more about what’s in our food, air, water and beauty
products, we want to choose the best quality items we can find. Hand made soap is some of the best stuff on
earth for your skin. This soap - with no color, no fragrance, no preservatives,
no nothing in it but natural vegetable oils -can be used by absolutely anybody,
even the most sensitive. (100% natural, fragrance free)

NEW
- SPRING AROMATIC SPRAYS
This
spring there are two new aromatic sprays to match the seasonal soap scents. Jasmine
Lemon and Rose Petal are fresh, romantic fragrances that make a lovely spritzer
for everything imaginable - delightful as a body spray, a great deodorizer for
linens, rooms, closets, cars, plus a fabulous pick-me-up anywhere, any time. The
full menu of sprays includes Lilac Garden, French Lavender, Lavender Lemongrass
and Sweet Dreams (in addition to others) all of which capture the essence of
spring in a bottle. Complete list: SoapworksStudio.com/sprays. (4oz bottle $6.00)
NEW
- ROSE PETAL DEAD SEA BATH SALTS
This
was a dearly loved seasonal scent a year ago, so it made sense to bring it back
now while I’m featuring soaps and sprays in the same scent. True to its name,
it’s a fresh-cut bouquet of gorgeous roses. In aromatherapy rose is both calming
and stress relieving, as well as uplifting for depression, making it a perfect
soaking scent for the bath. French Lavender, Vanilla Bean & Honey,
Wildflower, Almond Ginger and Sandalwood Jasmine are my year round fragrances,
with a little something for everybody to indulge in. See complete list:
SoapworksStudio.com/bath.
(16 oz
bottle $8.00)
