So fresh and So clean

I've always had a thing for soap bars. I find them romantic and somewhat nostalgic. They remind me of nature's beauty, luxurious hotels, Victorian homes and old fashion cleanliness. And they make great gifts too!

I love having a collection of them for display and of course for the shower and bath...as I go through my soaps I discover all the different ones I've collected over the past few months, from bath & body shops, boutiques, arts & crafts markets, galleries and local shops & fairs.

Fall Fairs are especially a good time to check out what's available, for those lovely bath times to warm up from the chilly weather! The Sunshine Coast in particular is home to many wonderful artists that hand make beautiful all natural soaps that are available to the locals all year round. With a variety of scents, shapes, sizes, ingredients, and quality.

Here are just a few of my favorites. Tried and Tested!
