It's Easy to Be Merry When...

Just like the card says... Be Merry! And it is when you participate in a soap swap, and you receive soaps that look good enough to be placed next to any divine Christmas cookie! Lucky me! What delicious, creative soaps I received during a recent swap. I received three packages that included creations like Green Tea Soap, Brown Sugar & Cinnamon, Key Lime, Carrot, Coconut...soaps made with hibiscus water, palm oil, coconut oil....& more. These are pure candy shop masterpieces for your skin.

So who made these wonderful handmade soap goodies?

A Nice Compliment...

A very nice note came my way from a recent

Under the Willow customer I wanted to share:

Dear Gigi

I have now got my mother addicted to your soaps... I gave her a bar & some chap stick that I had ordered a few weeks ago & she just called me with her huge order to place for herself. Since I have been using your soaps I get complements constantly on my perfume :) & then they are flabbergasted to find out it's soap. So thank you very much for such great soaps.

From some very satisfied customers in Missouri

Receiving a note like the above certainly made my day...

Thank you in Missouri!
