Handmade Natural soap -St. Louis Style!

Handmade Natural Soap is selling well in our Lebanon, IL shop -just about 20mi. from downtown St. Louis, MO.

We have added quite a few new handmade soap and bath products since our grand opening last Fall: natural paraben-free lotions, natural body mists, fantastic-smelling bath grains, natural deodorants and more!

The pictures below offer a glimpse of the shop and products.   I am feeling truly blessed with the opportunity to offer my products in my own little retail setting -pinching myself occasionally to make sure it's all real.

Thank You to all who are enjoying our soap and bath products and supporting our small business!   We are planning lots of new goodies coming for Spring 2014 including hands-on Soapmaking 101 classes!

Happy Bathing, everyone!  ~Becky

Another new label for one of our all-time bestsellers!

“Build-your-Own” Gift Sets were a hit at Valentine’s Day, so we will continue them through Mother’s Day!

There’s a New Handmade Soap Shop in St. Louis!

O.K., well, we’re technically about 20 minutes from downtown, on the Illinois side of the St. Louis Metro Area, and while the shop/studio is new, we have actually been making soap since 2002, but I digress...
Heirloom Soapworks Handmade Soap is now officially open in beautiful, historic, downtown Lebanon, IL!  We are so excited to be the FIRST handmade soap shop on the Illinois side of the St. Louis area, and ready to serve up some fine, locally made bath goodies to all the folks in the St. Louis area, both East & West of the Mighty Mississippi!

Our shop/studio is located right on “the brick street” at 111 W. St. Louis St., inside the Tiadaghton House.  Hours are Wed.-Sat. 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday Noon -4 p.m.
I have been collecting pieces for the store since early last Dec.;  arranging and re-arranging things in my mind.  I know many of you are curious, so without further ado here are some pics of the new soap shop/studio:

What do you think of my vintage-inspired bathtub soap stand?  Hubby made it for me, and I couldn’t be happier with it -what a guy!   He also transformed my work counter/cabinet with waiscoting and crown molding.  And built the table below that holds my sink trio.  Speaking of sinks, that a 1923 Kohler pedestal sink that my sister Martie found for me (along with my 1921 white wall mount sink) in Champaign, IL.

My vintage sink collection finally has a home (at least for 3 of them!) Looking from left to right: “Sky Blue” 1962 American Standard,  1921 Kohler in white,  1950 American Standard  (sometimes referred to as “Mamie Pink” -unwittingly inspired by Mamie Eisenhower)  I love how this display turned out, and customers seem to appreciate it too!

Our studio is nestled upstairs, and the Tiadaghton House’s main shop below is filled with some AMAZING local art -from fiber art, pottery, jewelry & paintings to some gorgeous Stickley furniture.  Worth the drive just to see the downstairs, we hope while you’re visiting you’ll venture upstairs to pick up some handmade soap and bath/body goodies!
Happy Soaping, Everyone!  ~Becky

Heirloom Soapworks, St. Louis Metro East’s first full-service Handmade Soap Store

Posted on August 12, 2013 by The Soap Sister

We are so excited about the upcoming Grand Opening of Heirloom Soapworks Handmade Soap Shop in beautiful downtown Lebanon, IL.  happening August 31, 2013.  Our shop is unique in that it is  the FIRST full-service handmade soap store/studio in the St. Louis Metro East Area!  You can find us at 111 W. St. Louis Street.

Now you don’t have to travel far  to shop in person for amazing handmade natural soap, natural lotions, aluminum-free natural deodorant, decadent bath bombs and other delightful handmade bath products -we’re just “a hop-skip-and-a-jump” from Downtown St. Louis, practically in your own back yard!

My dear Hubby built some really nice displays, a work counter/cabinet, a bathtub soap display -I’m talking about some seriously AWESOME stuff!  I am so blessed to have his support, and I can’t wait for you all to see his handiwork in person!


Meanwhile, I’ve been keeping busy making handmade soap, natural lotions, bath bombs, scrubs and wax melts for the store, as well as devoting quite a bit of time to decorating (just hung a few of my collection of vintage soap ads today.)  All done with you all (our valued soap fans) in mind -not only do we want to bring you the best in handmade soap and bath products, we want to create a unique shopping experience for you to enjoy.

Keeping the inside a secret for now, but will publish some pics of our shop in Sept. ;)

Just 17 more days until the Heirloom Soapworks doors open to the public.

Looking forward to Grand Opening, and we hope to see you then! ~Becky
