Savon Marie Catalog

Hi Everyone,

 I know it has been a while, but I have been very busy lately. This catalog is one of the reasons. It will be available shortly after Thanksgiving, but for now, you can take a look here.

The catalog contains some of our best sellers, old favorites, and a few brand new items. 

This is something I have wanted to do for a long time, and now, I finally have it completed. Take a look and let me know what you think.

I have also been working on a Betty Boop Soap. I am not quite there yet with the soap mold, but I do have a cute little gift box ready. Betty is blowing a kiss. The box has a bit of glitter on the lips and is trimmed with hot pink and black ribbon.

What's not to love about Betty?  Even my grand daughter loves her.  This soap is part of our Blonde in a Bathtub line.

Another one of our new soaps  from our Blonde in a Bathtub Line is this zebra soap. There is also a cheetah pattern.  It is not even on our web site yet. We are offering it in our Blonde in a Bathtub selection of fragrances, many of which are designer duplicates.  

My next post will be all about the holidays. I'll have some holiday items to show you and also have news about some online holiday events that we will be part of. 


Also a very special offer for newsletter subscribers only. If you'd like to receive this offer, you can sign up here.

Thanks for stopping by.

Thanks

Thanks everyone for your suggestion for my new soap. The name I chose is "Tranquility." This was suggested by Debbie, and I agree with her; it does have a Zen feeling. As soon as Debbie sends me her address, I will get the prizes out to her.


Thanks again for your suggestions. It was a difficult choice.

Buttons are Back

The Bar of Buttons soap is back. I've got a new photo of a white Bar of Buttons, but I can't wait to try it in black. Maybe a deep country red or pine green for the holidays. But right now my favorite is just plain white.

Thanks for stopping by. Have a great week.

Rose D'Amour and Ripple

Hello Everyone,

I want to share 2 of my newest soaps. I have had my eye on these molds for a long time. They are a bit pricey, but I am so glad I purchased them. I love the rose for many reasons. First it IS a rose and the heart shape makes it extraordinary. The detail is so delicate and beautiful. What I really love is that it will stand up to shipping.  Now that's a rose after my own heart. Please excuse the poor pun.

This is the third in a line I call Zen Garden. I love the elegant simplicity of this soap. I scented my samples with Water Blossom Ivy, one of my favorites. Right now I am calling this one Ripple, the name that the mold maker gave it. However, if any of you have a suggestion for a more romantic name, please let me know. If your suggestion is used, you will recieve one of each of these new soaps. Thanks so much.

Ondine, Harmony & Golden Bamboo

Hi Everyone, I know it has been a while, but this has been one busy summer. I am not complaining, just explaining. I have 3 new creations here. I just posted them all together. I do not want to start my day with the ususal frustration I have trying to get pictures to do what I want them to do.


The first picture is a mermaid which I painted with mica. I decided to call her Ondine, which is the name of a mythical water sprite. It is also the name of a perfume I loved many years ago.

The second picture I call Harmony. I was thinking of calling it Made for Each Other, but Harmony won out. I made it in black and white because it reminded me of the yin yang symbol.

The third is Golden Bamboo, another soap hand painted with mica. You can't see it too much, but the soap itself has a subtle shimmer of gold. I am going to do one in pearl white soap as well. But this is what I have ready for today.

Thanks for taking a look. Have a wonderful week.

French Farmhouse Soap

This week I am introducing some new soap. It is called French Farmhouse Soap. This soap is made from scratch using all natural ingredients.  Made mostly of olive oil and coconut oil, it also has shea butter.I love this soap! It was made by a fellow soaper, and it is the only soap I use other than my own. It feels wonderful. Sherri, of Antique Paperie designed the Rosette and image for the box. I think she did a great job.

Thanks for looking, and have a great week.

The winning entry

Thanks to everyone who suggested a name for the image of Pierrot and the lovely lady pictured in my last post. It was difficult. A few of the names were ones that I thought of, but the name that really stood out for me was Debbie's. Sweet Secrets was her entry.

Thanks to  everyone who participated.

Roses for Lili & Giveaway

Hello Everyone,

 I have been very fortunate to have some wonderful new wholesale customers. They have been keeping me very busy, but I finally managed to post a few soap boxes today. I mention the boxes with my customers because a few of them have been purchasing the boxes before I even get them posted. So, yes I have been very, very fortunate.  I am very grateful, too.  It has been fun rubber stamping and playing with my oh-so-easy-to-use greeting card software.

However, I am highlighting a few boxes with images from Sherri of Antique Paperie. I have been using her designs for a while. Sherri has recently become a member of Make Mine Pink. So I decided to feature some of her work here. The first box is named Roses for Lili. I love this design. I'm sure you agree that her work is beautiful. The next one I call Stolen Kiss. It is a perfect match for my Pierrot soap. I even managed to find a matching image by the same artist. I have not made anything from it yet, but I will very soon. I posted it here as well. It is the image on the right.  All I need is a name. I have a few ideas, but I would love some  suggestions from you. The winner will receive soap in a gift box of her (or his!) choice. Thanks. Marie
