Visitors to the Soap Studio

The as yet unfinished Soap Studio had visitors today. My friend Jen's mother was in town and she had been getting an ear-full about our soaps from Jen. So, Paulette and Jen paid us a visit today and went on a soap smelling spree. They were both quite high on soap scents, with glassy eyes, and bags loaded with soap "dope" by the time they went out of here. All in all about 20 bars went to good homes today. I can trust that they will be loved and hugged, and lathered "to death", lol.
It was a very nice visit as well. I'm not used to having folks come to me, for products. I usually bring it to them. I learned that Paulette Karlin is a wonderful seamstress & doll maker. She spent some of her spare time during her visit sewing up the most darling little soap bags for us. Some with holiday themes, and some that are just very, very pretty. Watch for them as special giveaways in your orders . She is also a creator of Little People her business card says. They are called Caboose Kids. And as you can imagine by the name, they are an adorable assortment of ragtag, smudge cheeked kids with oversized coats and strips of calico for shoelaces. Cute as can be. She lovingly creates these kids by hand in her own little studio (a converted garage that daughter Jenny convinced Dad to raised floor in to save on the heat bill and make mom's feet toasty in the winter) in Buena Vista, Colorado. So, if you are ever around there, look her up and check out her kids. Adopt one for yourself, because I know once you see one of them you will want to take 'em home. And if you are in Denver, her dolls will be on display in the Capital building later this month.
