Happy Valentines Day! (and some new makes for our new website)

Today it's been all go here at Soaperie Towers :)
Bath bombs are now drying on the racks and soap is almost ready to pour.
Todays makes include Green Tea and Rice bran Bath bombs and St Clements - Orange and lemon bath bombs ( both with a new secret bubbling ingredient)

St Clement's - all wrapped up

Yesterday I made new batches of our best sellers - Floral Heaven (Jasmine & Ylang ylang) and Heather Honey bath bombs, this room smells AMAZING!! I can't wait till tonight, as I get to use up all the little end bits and crumbs that are left - soapmakers treat :)
Our bath bombs make lovely Wedding Favours and can be tailored to suit the theme of the wedding or special occasion, I can even rustle up some custom labels too, (if i'm feeling particularly clever!)

I'll be pouring a new batch of Sweet Pea soap this afternoon too, hopefully it should look like this when cured.

These will all be listed on our new website as soon as they are wrapped and ready.

More updates to follow very soon -

Our New Website is about to launch.



Well I'm sorry it's been so long since my last posting...what can I say I've been a really busy lady. I have been re-fitting my workshop so I should soon have loads of new storage and surfaces to make heaps more lovely goodies. Once it's complete, I'll give you a guided tour by photo...just need a bench surface and I think we're done :)

I've also been building our own lovely website...I'm almost there, so there is a 'coming soon' and 'about us' page just for now, pop over for a sneak preview...www.oakwoodsoaperie.co.uk
 
I have a lot of wrapping and labelling to do but you will soon be able to buy direct from us...Yay!!
Lots of new products in the pipeline too, keep checking back with us over the next few weeks for new listings.

I am also hoping to open a couple of new online shops at 'Ethical Community' and 'Etsy' so it's all go here!

Well I s'pose I'd better get back to my melts setting up in the fridge and get another batch on the go...in the mean time, here are some images of new goodies to tempt you...Spring is in the air...I know it, bring on the sunshine!!

Helloooooo......Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year for 2012!!

It's been such a busy few months here at Oakwood Soaperie, my head has only just stopped spinning!!!
I thought I'd give you a little snippet of what I've been up  to to keep you going.
We have been busy little bees with a tonne of local Craft and Christmas markets, so much so, we have almost totally sold out of Everything!!! I have many pictures to post very soon...watch this space :)
Fear not, I have plans afoot and come the New Year will be re-making my range of luxurious soaps and bath goodies...there may be more new stuff too, so many new ideas for lovely pampering products just for you...yes YOU :)

I am also busy creating my longed for beloved WEBSITE...YAY!!!! sooo much typing and input...I want it to be a special  place to hang out and read about what goes in (and what is kept out) of my handmade natural products, so that you...my lovely...know all the reasons why I do what I do and why you need to try (and be converted) to my handmade soaps and bath goodies.

I am also planning a much needed re-fit of my home workshop...it is long overdue. I will post pics of it's progress over the next few weeks so you can see the transformation before your very eyes!!!

Wish me luck...I have a long list of 'To Do...'s but will try and let you know how things are going as much as possible.

Wishing you all the best for the new Year xxx

TTFN,
