New Spring Soaps have Arrived!

-


Here in Iowa, we are thawing out today! Thankfully, we did not lose electricity like we did a couple of years ago; however, we did manage to lose our internet services for a whole day and a half...for us "addicted" internet-dependent junkies, this was very traumatic!! The upside about the down time is that we did manage to get rid of a few dust bunnies around here!


Today we were quite thrilled when the UPS man delivered our soap order...as we opened up the box, the sweet pleasant aroma seemed like a pleasant invitation to Spring!  Take a look at these wonderful, luxurious bars of home-made soaps...a long leisurely bath will sooth away any tension!

Don't lose heart...Only 57 more days until Spring!! We're counting down with you!

"We wish you a Merry Christmas, we wish you a Merry Christmas, we wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!" Mom was the first to get this set of “Cup of Christmas Tea” teacup and teapot. She received them many years ago by a friend in California, Dayna Esquivel. When we moved out here to the country, Mom and I began enjoying tea together in the afternoons. That Christmas Mom found another set of “Christmas Tea” teacups and teapot and purchased them for me! We always get these teacups out at Christmas and sip tea out of them on a regular basis. They hold many found memories of teatime with my mom! May you have a blessed Christmas!! Other's Who Are Participating in Teacup Thursday! The Hope Chest Rose Chintz Cottage Antiques and Teacups
