We have some very exciting news regarding Heirloom Soapworks handmade soap.  Later this year we will be opening a Soap Shop/Studio in beautiful downtown Lebanon, IL! 
(Yay! Yippee! and Yeehaaaa!)

It’s been a whirlwind of activity since the opportunity first presented itself in Dec. 2012.  Planning, buying decor items, finalizing arrangements, and of course making soap, natural lotions, bath bombs and our new So Fresh! All-Natural Deodorant (all the while pinching myself to make sure the whole opportunity wasn’t a dream) well, let's just say time has flown!


I plan to post more frequently here on my handmade soap blog (almost anything would have to be better that the last few months!)  But, for those who love to see the very latest products & soap news, please check out our Heirloom Soapworks Facebook Page  which for some reason seems to get updated almost daily!

Meanwhile, here are a few photos of just some of the products I’ve been developing and/or tweaking:

 Castile-Charcoal -Cambrian face soap for oily/acne prone skin. 

Folks just love handmade soap, and our new "friendship" gift packaging makes our soap even more fun to give…and receive!

Best of all, it’s available on ANY soap variety we carry -just message us at checkout and we’ll  take care of the rest!

Handmade Soap: "Prairie Valentine"

Handmade Soap "Prairie Valentine"

Many of you know I am hopelessly in love with the rustic, eclectic, romantic style commonly known as "Shabby Chic".....so it's really no wonder that I am head-over-heels crazy for these new handmade soap rounds.   

Fragranced with a convincing lilac fragrance that will leave you breathlessly yearning for spring:  "Prairie Valentine"
 

 

  I hope you enjoy the photo.   -Happy Valentine's Day!  ~Becky :)

Soap Making Video by Heirloom Soapworks

Busy, busy, busy!  What a great time of year to be a soap-maker!

Thought I would record today's soap-making session -just for fun and to let my YouTube audience and blog-friends know that I'm still out here & soaping up a storm.



Hope everyone is well, busy and happy! ~Becky

So so so many great handmade gifts out there! Why fight the crowds when you can shop www.Etsy.com

at home, in your p.j.'s with a cup of hot cocoa or a glass of wine?? Call me crazy, but that's what I'm doing this year! ;)

Handmade Soap Workbench 2012

I am so excited to show my soap-making friends the AWESOME new work table my Dear Hubby made for me!

It's enormous, TALL (39 in. to worktop perfect for a 6ft. soap-maker like myself) and STURDY (bye bye to the rickety folding table.) Plus, he ran an industrial power strip under the front edge, so no more knocking things over with my stick-blender cord. (a clever clever man, My Hubby!)

All this he did on his day off yesterday while I was at a craft fair.  What a great gift. :)   He is going to put a shelf on the bottom (atop the 2x4 frame) where I will keep my large containers of oils & butters, and another shelf will be up tomorrow on the upper rt. of the pegboard to hold clays and other colorants that are currently on top of the white cabinet that holds my essential oils and fragrances.

We worked this evening on getting the pegboard organized, but I will wait until tomorrow afternoon after church to make my first batch of handmade soap on it. I can't wait! :)

Hope you all are pleasantly busy this season, and soaping up a storm.

Happy Soaping Everyone!   ~Becky
