After years of doing arts and crafts shows as a soaper, I've decided to expand and move into a more boutique setup. A couple of years ago I started this transformation by offering a "create your own private sanctuary"....
Bath time is NOT about just getting clean. It's about reconnecting with ourselves or our significant other. In the rush of this world and all the stress we are encountering, we need to learn to relax - to create a place where we can just lie back and enjoy the bath or a shower. Candles (palm & soy), soft music (yes, I have some great relaxation CDs available), massage oils and creams (soy massage candles, rock massage kits), reed diffusers (and other flameless scent options) and now for 2009 I am adding the silks.
I have used silk fibers in some of my soaps. What does silk do? Well....my recipe already produces what they refer to as a hard bar of soap which for you means a longer lasting soap (remember not to let it sit in water)and produces even more silky luxurious lather. Now all of our soaps will have silk fibers in the recipe!
What could be more elegant than the feel of silk on our skin! Step out of the bath or the shower and wrap yourself in a silk body wrap....we will offer caftans and robes. And, our newest creation will be available by late spring - cleavage necklaces! We'll be posting photos as soon as they are available.
It's all about the ambiance. YOU can create your own private sanctuary with more then soap! Silk pillows, scarves, Scarf pins (similar to the cleavage necklaces). Just dream away....after all it's your private sanctuary.....
Our booth setup will be like entering a boutique....soft music, marvelous fragrances...and I can help you select products for you to create your private sanctuary!

Welcome to from the Rustic Hearth. Soapmaking has been part of my life for over ten years now. Slowly the business has grown and is changing even more so this year - 2009. I totally believe that in this day of rush, rush, rush - we (women) have forgotten to take care of ourselves. We wear so many hats and take care of so many others but forget that we are important.
Creating your own private sanctuary.....is the way to reconnect with ourselves. It's a time to relax, to pamper ourselves, to enjoy time by ourselves. And, once we reconnect with ourselves then we can reconnect with our significant other. Bath time is more then just getting clean.
This blog will inform you about the products I offer to help you create that private sanctuary - YOUR private sanctuary. We offer some of the finest handcrafted soaps in the area. In addition, unique soy or palm candles, reed diffusers, incense (both resin based and sticks & cones) and now I'm pleased to announce we are adding Whisper Silks.
Our first offering are 60" x 11" 100% silk scarves. These are individually dyed using herbs, botanicals and/or spices. These are all natural dyes - they do not come from a bottle. Every scarf is unique and the resulting pattern is random.
We will be adding various textiles as 2009 progresses. A very generous size 45" x 72" (4'x6')silk sarong to use as a body wrap after your shower or bath. We all know how silk caress our skin - it seems to whisper......
In February we will be adding 14" x 14" pillow covers plus 10" x 15" mini "flags" which can be used as wall hangings. And, of course, more 60" x 11" scarves. Remember every piece is totally unique - patterns can never be duplicated. These are truly unique one-of-a-kind gifts.
