Last post was June? Where has time gone? AND because there simply isn't enough hours of the day- I've decided to combine my post entries for both Life on Fishing Creek & Under the Willow business news into "one"- Right here!

What have we been doing? In short- lots of family & friends time, some grand dog additions to the family, renovations, and keeping busy with our Under the Willow shop.

The garland under the mantle is actually a metal garland- aged brown with clusters of old sleigh bells. We added tiny little cup hooks to keep the garland attached. I purchased the garland at Ben Franklins for about 12.00 per 9 foot strand.

Holiday Lotion Combo: If you're local to Cambridge, Maryland you can find our Holiday Lotions and more Under the Willow products at: A Few of My Favorites Things shop located at 414 Race Street.

New Soap Kitchen Studio....

This is my old soap kitchen that was in a carriage house

my younger son had built on our property. This photo was taken in the middle of preparing for my older son's May 2008 wedding we had hosted

on our property. Visit Joey's 2008 wedding here we hosted.

This weekend, we have begun the process of building out our new two car garage into my studio (Okay the garage is NOT new, but new to us!). When we made a permanent move into our beach home (September of 09)- we "whited-out" the entire interior of the garage to make it "wedding ready" for our younger son's September wedding ~ Visit Kirk's 2009 wedding we hosted . Along with several white tents, we used the inside of the garage to serve the buffet...

BUT FINALLY ~ we have time to start our build out for my Under the Willow soap business. Although I have been using this space for business purposes ~ it just wasn't working out as I had hoped ~ so with some planning (lots!) ~ we have begun. The process should take about 3 weeks to complete...

Backside of the studio area ~ first thing we did was add a window...

This is why we added a window ~ not a bad view while

working creating soap, etc...

First cabinet is being assembled...

One of our dogs "Bella" was very interested in the process...

Here are some of our old cabinets that were removed ~ I have plans to "incorporate" them somewhere in my studio...So for now I'm holding on to them.

I will be posting more "build-out" as we progress our construction...

We have been very blessing to host both our sons wedding. Our older son (who lives near the water) had chosen our "more land" home, while our son who doesn't live near the water ~ had chosen our waterfront home. Either way ~ the wedding are cherished memories on our home fronts...

New website up and running...

Being snowed in for the past several days was the perfect opportunity to work on Under the Willow's new website for 2010... If you have a chance you can visit our new site here.

CAMBRIDGE RUM!

Cambridge Rum Handmade Soap now tucked inside a muslin bag...
It may be cold outside but you can be toasty inside ~ and smelling wonderful when using our best selling handmade soap CAMBRIDGE RUM!

Hands down this is our best seller~ loved by both men & women. It a blend of rich bay rum with warm spices that are long lasting even after you shower...

And as requested I have now added a muslin bag to tuck all the CAMBRIDGE RUM soap bars in...this way they can be placed in a drawer, hung in a closet (even a car), tucked in a suitcase or consider them packaged enough to give as a gift!

This soap is made the cold process method and cured for weeks before it is sold...rich, but delicate and loaded with skin loving ingredients like olive oil, coconut oil, palm oil and there are NO artificial coloring added...

I hope you enjoy! If you would like to purchase some CAMBRIDGE RUM handmade soap you can pop over to the Under the Willow Gift Shoppe blog here or go to my Etsy shop here.
