Have a very Happy Mother's Day Weekend (and GO LEAFS GO)

Well, the Leafs make the play offs and this blog has been neglected!

To all our customers from Mississauga and Brampton, thank you for your continued orders.  Even though we moved to the Hammer, we are grateful to all our customers in the Peel Region.

The Made by Hand Show is coming to Hamilton for the Christmas show and we hope to be in it!  We will keep you updated.  We are looking into venues around Hamilton to do some summer shows.  Again, we will keep you posted.

Congratulations to Jennifer Reisin for winning the Mother's Day gift basket.  It consists of some Cleanse Me Soap Bars (made of course with some serious skin loving oils), our new fragrance of Peppy Peppermint Hand Soap, Moisturize Me Mango Tango lip balm and a Quench Me Hand and Body Lotion.  Hope your mom (or you) love it!

Hope everyone has a very Happy Mother's Day weekend!

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!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

Thank you to everyone for your continued business this past year.  Wishing you and your family a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Where did the time go?

Between having a newborn, trying to sell my house, packing up for my move to my new house AND keeping up with Christmas orders and attending shows.........I have to say, I have neglected my blog.  But, hey...I am back now.  And in full swing.  The Peel Regional Police Association show the weekend of November 10 and 11 was a lot of fun with familiar vendor and customer faces.  I reluctantly had to bow out of the Brampton open air Christmas market in the square because of packing....ugh....and heard it was an amazing success!  Sorry to all my Brampton customers.......but, I was at Mrs. V's Preserves tonight and will be there on Wednesday (can't make it on Friday or Saturday).  I will also be at Beatty-Fleming Sr. P.S, November 29, 3-8 pm.  Christmas is just around the corner!
