Lagniappe

I learned a new word this past weekend: lagniappe!  Do you know this word?  I liked the sound of it even before I looked up the definition.  Here is what the dictionary says about lagniappe, which is pronounced lan’ yep.

      1. a small gift, especially one given to a customer who makes a purchase

      2. something given or obtained as a gratuity or bonus

A New Adventure

Tomorrow I embark on a new adventure: The Wednesday Farmers Market at the Chetco Grange Community Center in Brookings, OR.  

Slippery Slope

**HEADLINE**  RIVER BAR SOAPS HAVE A NEW (OLD) USE!

Embrace the Update

I worked today on taking new product photos and updating our online store.

River Bar Travelers

We started making these smaller soaps for a couple of vacation rentals we’re working with and for wedding favors, and this year I decided to take them to the Downtown Crescent City Farmers and Artisans Market where I hang out on Wednesdays.  

DON’T Move the Soap!

Oh my!  Last week’s soapmaking adventure included two batches.  The first was Tall Trees, a pot-swirled soap fragranced with Cedarwood essential oil—very woodsy and crisp-smelling.

Soap Box

We received such wonderful thanks last week from a friend who needed soap to take to Belize on a mission trip.
