Ahhh, the warm weather will be here soon. We know this because the parking lot at the grocery store is chock-a-block with tractor trailers, refrigerators humming away in anticipation of the ice road break up.
Not that is seems near warm enough yet. We thought at least the ‘willow’ ptarmigan would have been long gone, but peering out the window the other day lo and behold look at this happy group lollygagging around the neighborhood:
Just hangin’ with the gang
Munching willow
Check out those snowshoes (or snow’feet’)
But there are some avian harbingers of spring hanging around the feeder too. So there is hope the season will roll over soon….
A pine grosbeak dropped in.
Darn, those redpolls are cute (with attitude)!!
On a seasonal soapy note, we are happy to announce we’ll be attending the Annual Yellowknife Trade show again this year: May 12-13 (the Mother’s Day weekend). We just couldn’t miss catching up with our clients in person (and giving their hairy halves an opportunity to score some great goodies for the Mums in their lives).
To celebrate Mums (and the people who have them), we are releasing several custom soap cakes for just that weekend! Each is a unique and simple formulation and exquisitely scented with spring-inspired fragrances with Mums in mind. And we love the sweet dahlia mould too. Here is a little preview…:
A truly sumptuous floral: peony, with tussah silk and sweet almond oil.
This one rocks: lemongrass with ricebran oil and cocoa butter.
Summer in your hand: cucumber-mint with coconut milk, soyabean oil and shea butter.
OMG: deep, dark, dripping cherry with loads of shea butter.
We are having a hard time with the thought of parting with these (without snagging a slice for ourselves), but these soap-cakes are just the right size for gifting (and maybe Mum will share a piece or two)! So we’ll keep them whole (…for now 🙂 ).
What else will we bring to the Trade show to share with you? Well, there will be several new soaps coming off our curing shelves in time for the weekend, loads of fun new lip balms, soy candles, wood boxed sets, and a plenty more goodies. Photos to follow….
I think you’d better get to the booth early!
