My weekend in photos...

This weekend was rather busy for me. Let's see... on Friday Patti and I had our first soap party hosted by my aunt Angie at her beautiful home in Whitby...it was super fun! We sold our products and met some great new people.

On Sunday I made dinner for the family, on the menu was honey mustard lamb ( a recipe I got from Style at Home magazine), baby spinach tossed salad, cured meats and cheeses, bruschetta, italian breads, roasted red peppers. a little bit of vino, and for dessert chocolate fondue and oatmeal chocolate cookies! I forgot to take photos of the lamb, but trust me it was great! and dessert got gobbled up before I could take any pictures...

Tomorrow is my mother's birthday, so I am off to bake a cake and get her a fresh bouquet of flowers, plus lots of other goodies...

What did you do this weeked?

some highlights from our soap party...

I'm back...with Jars!

I've been really busy as you all know with my business Lather & Soak !! I have a lot of great events coming up where our products will be featured, more of that later... I wanted to share with everyone the great new jars I found at my local thrift store. They were super cheap and made in Canada (bonus), and I can't wait to show you all what they look like filled with flowers or a cute votive candle...I'll be back soon, thanks for sticking around :)

Enjoy ...

Great Scented Soap for Father's day...

Lather & Soak has these great new Anise Star round soaps scented with fig and bayrum! oh the sweet scent of the barber shop. I can always remember that signature bayrum smell whenever I'd see my grandfather. These would be great for Father's day :)

I'm off to visit family so enjoy your weekend! And Happy Father's day to all the great dad's!

Busy business: Lather & Soak

I have been busy and quite noticeably absent the last week, and now I can show you all what I've been busy doing. My little fingers are aching and I haven't slept in a few days...I think...because I have been pouring my heart and soul into my small handmade soap making business, and I am so happy to say that it has been well received. I was worried...putting yourself out there into the big wide world and trying to make it doing what I love (creating) combined with living well. I am so happy to say that Lather & Soak has been flooded with sales and back orders even!!

Thank you to all of those who support me and keep me going strong in my creative ventures.

Here is just a sneak peek of all the orders:
