   Posted on 12:00pm Wednesday 8th May 2019

   Happy May! Now that the May poles have been safely stashed for another year and the Beltane feasts have all been consumed, it's time to start looking towards summer, what do you have planned? I'm hoping for a few adventures with my tent and a spot of skipping in meadows where I find them, not to mention thoroughly enjoying the birdsong right outside my studio door most days and trying to keep the bunnies from eating all my chamomile plants so I have some left for fragrant goodies later in the year. Fingers crossed for some warmth and sun in the coming months. Since my last newsletter, I've been busily creating some lovely new things for you. I have 3 brand new soaps in 3 packaging options...boxed, our usual wrap and samples.  The boxed option would be great for gifts. All our packaging is compostable and the papers for the wraps are handmade by the Frogmore Paper mill a traditional paper mill who add flower petals, wild flower seeds, sawdust and even shredded denim to their paper fibres. The papers are so beautiful close up too, I think I'll be rolling them out over the whole range.  So...without further ado, let me introduce you to...

   Into the Briny Deep handmade soap Imagine if you could breathe underwater...what would the briny deep smell like? Our brand new soap 'Into the Briny Deep' blends cool ozonic scents of juniper, eucalyptus and warming cedarwood essential oils with real dried bladderwrack seaweed for skin softening and conditioning, salts for gentle exfoliation, french green clay and rich plant butters and oils for amazing lather and the gentlest of cleansing.  Scrub onto a shower pouffe or directly onto the skin in the shower for a super gentle clean, you'll emerge with a soft, mermaid scented bod.    Each bar is individually wrapped in waxed breathable paper with a handmade paper band.
