Back at the Market!

Back at the market today!  We have a new t-shirt vendor sharing our space.  I bought a very cool ‘THE HAMMER” shirt from him.  We are now getting ready for the Christmas season and Pura Vida has just finished making two new batches of soap – one a new scent and one a top seller (Spiced Mandarin, made with French green clay and oatmeal – great for your face).  Both of them smell like Christmas! We will be putting together a stocking stuffer package of EXCELLENT value:  the two Christmas smelling soaps plus a sample size hempseed lavender hand and body lotion for $10.00.  What a bargain – it’s like getting the hand and body lotion for free! 

Pura Vida has also just finished making another batch of soap made with sake kasu/lees from the Ontario Spring Water Sake company.  This is our third year in business with the sake company and we are proud to be their supplier of sake soap.  Check out some of the pictures.

Spring...please come soon!

With the winter weather in full swing this year (last year was quite mild), we are usually gearing up for our spring shows and our Art in the Open booth in Brampton for the summer - busy making loads of soap.  Unfortunately since we relocated to Hamilton this year, we will not be doing the usual Spring shows or Art in the Open (boo hoo).  We will be looking for venues more local and keep you posted.  The good news is that I heard the Made by Hand show is coming to the Hammer!

We are still making sake soap exclusively for the Ontario Spring Water Sake company so if you are ever in Toronto’s Distillery Historic District, stop by their brewery, pick up a soap and try some sake!
