The beauty of the first batch of SHAMPOO BARS…
-each one is a unique size
-each paper wrap looks like it’s own busted can of biscuits
-lumpy, round corners

Nobody’s winning prettiest anything with these babies, except your hair!!
And they will be available this Saturday at the West Point Farmers Market.
Come grab a one or two. Who knows, I might give them away for testing purposes 😉

Thank you does not seem like enough for today.
I am so grateful and my heart is so full from everything this little girl was blessed with today.
Every “congratulations”
Every kind word of advice & encouragement
Every pack of diapers & cute outfit
Every planned visit & unexpected surprise
From the biggest to the smallest

A special THANK YOU to Melaine from Milby Farm and Billie from tripleejerky for putting the whole thing together.

Thank you to Gloucester Flower Farm for another beautiful arrangement that always brighten my kitchen 🧡

Thank you to the entire community of Town of West Point for all of the love! 💕

This is another item that has been on the top of my list to make…

SHAMPOO BARS!! 🧼🫧

I finally got over my fear of working with Lye and made these Rosemary Mint shampoo bars over the weekend.

I’ll get pretty molds at a later date 🤪

They will be ready in 4 weeks! Yes it takes that long for them to harden and cure.

I can’t wait!!

It’s happening VERY SOON!
