Handmade soaps on Zibbet!

Black Crown soap available to buy here

I don't know whether it is the recent change in Etsy's status, or the relevancy search but so much is new at Etsy since last year and the lights appear to have gone out! I am going to stick with it anyway, and try and find out how to get my shop moving with the times! 

However, I have opened a second SoapyChica over at Zibbet, as there is a lot more going on over there now for the genuine handmade crafter and the community as a whole seems to be very pleasant.

 I should be receiving my new gift packaging in the next day or so, so there will be a few photos to show the new soaps in their gift wrap by the end of the week.

In the paper today!

The Daily Express have featured one of my soaps in an article full of British goodies. Union flags and Crowns galore! This pink roses scented Royal Crown soap has been a bit of a best seller this year and its one of my favourites as well.

Wedding Favours

I seem to be getting more orders for wedding favours and I am pleased to think of my soaps gracing someones table on their big day-what an honour that is! Now that I am not offering my soaps wholesale to anyone else, I am left with more free time to concentrate on wedding orders and other pleasurable projects, so I am pleased that I chose this route. Some of the soaps seem to be geared right towards weddings and bridal showers. One lady chose some as bridesmaid gifts and for her 'hen party' - which I think is a classy idea. The most popular ones this month have been the royal crown soaps in Rose and in Vanilla which I have posted pics of. I am trying to despatch the favours early in plenty of time for their deadlines!
