Essence: Red Velvet Cake is An absolute favorite cake of mine ! From the blood red color and contrast with white cream cheese frosting down to the delicious flavor-I cannot get enough! Scrumptious layered fragrance of a baking Red Velvet cake. This fragrance begins with top notes of dark chocolate, strawberry syrup, and red currant; followed by middle notes of cocoa powder, buttermilk, and sugar cane; while sitting on base notes of creamy sandalwood, Tonka bean, and vanilla extract.

Oops! Sorry, when I topped this slice of hot apple pie with french vanilla ice cream, it melted all over it creating velvet ribbons of cream.
This soap slice of hot apple pie and french vanilla ice cream is just like home!This warm fresh baked pie has heavenly and comforting aromatics of cinnamon, nutmeg, and clove. A drop of butter and cream are layered deep with crisp McIntosh apples from the orchard and you can almost taste the warm golden and flaky crust. Perfect for the Fall and Winter Holidays in your kitchen or guest bath to add that special "Home for the Holidays" feel!

1 approx. 5-5.5 oz soap topped with brown sugar for a perfectly sweet exfoliation and has a gentle swirl of cinnamon and cloves. (this soap can also be made without the cinnamon and cloves by request)

changes colors due to the f.o.'s with vanilla no worries tho-it is still delicious!

Nothing is more delicious than baked pears with layer after thick layer of caramel, cinnamon, and brown sugar! The fire is crackling in your fireplace and the Holiday guests are on their way! You pull the pears out of the oven and drizzle the top with a rich golden caramel and dark brown sugar and everyone just melts....

Essence: juicy and fleshy notes of pears and apples with woody cinnamon spice, clove, nutmeg, and thick rich caramel and brown sugar. OMG MMMMM

This soap is beyond beautiful and delicious! The golden brown sugar will gently and perfectly exfoliate your gorgeous skin all while making you crave fresh baked pears! This is a favorite of the new season!

1 (one) green and brown and deeply layered rich soap weighing approx. 5 oz.

..i swear there's a pear under all of that drizzle:)

**WARNING! excessive use of this soap will cause you to run out and have to buy more...

Travel back in time to 1861 on Appledore Island off the coast of New Hampshire and saunter through Celia Thaxter's garden. You will find yourself surrounded by prominent artists, literary artists, and musicians of that time.All gathered in her gardens dressed in Victorian garb.Musical notes from Schumann are carried on a sea breeze and blooms of flowers fill the air on this island kingdom. Celia's garden still grows on this tiny island after almost 150 years! On summer mornings today, you can take a boat ride from Rye Harbour out to her garden and see the various lush blooms that she loved so much and planted with care. I have added seaweed and sea salt to this bar as well as heavenly fragrances of flowers that you can find there along with a touch of sea spray and adoration.
1 (one)  4 oz. bar

Celia Thaxter was a poet in the 19th century here on the coast of New Hampshire. She paved the way for many women poets and literary writers. Celia lived most of her life on the tiny cluster of Islands appropriately named “Isle of Shoals” that are 10 miles off the coast of New Hampshire and Maine. The 2 states share these islands. Celia had the most incredible garden on the island of Appledore and she loved those islands and called them home until the day she died in 1894.Celia marked the way for women writers today- a true pioneer of her time. This garden still grows abundantly today after all those years with the help of volunteers.

The bar is loaded with Wild Atlantic Dulse seaweed that is harvested off the coast of Maine. To read the incredible journey made by local Maine “Sea Farmers” check out: www.ironboundisland.com

I hope you will  enjoy this poem by Celia...she was said to have written it from her home in Newton Ma. when she could not get back to her island..

Land Locked

Black lie the hills; swiftly doth daylight flee;
And, catching gleams of sunset's dying smile,
Through the dusk land for many a changing mile
The river runneth softly to the sea.

O happy river, could I follow thee!
O yearning heart, that never can be still!
O wistful eyes, that watch the steadfast hill,
Longing for level line of solemn sea!

Have patience; here are flowers and songs of birds,
Beauty and fragrance, wealth of sound and sight,
All summer's glory thine from morn till night,
And life too full of joy for uttered words.

Neither am I ungrateful; but I dream
Deliciously how twilight falls to-night
Over the glimmering water, how the light
Dies blissfully away, until I seem

To feel the wind, sea-scented, on my cheek,
To catch the sound of dusky flapping sail
And dip of oars, and voices on the gale
Afar off, calling low, -- my name they speak!

O Earth! Thy summer song of joy may soar
Ringing to heaven in triumph. I but crave
The sad, caressing murmur of the wave
That breaks in tender music on the shore.
