It's That Time of Year Again

I'm anxious to get my garden planted. This year we had a friend come in with his tractor to expand the garden to 3 times the size it was last year. In 20 minutes time the job was done ~ what would have taken me days/weeks to complete by hand. I resist planting too early up here in Vermont because we still have some frosty mornings.

Even though I use gloves when I garden, there are just some gardening chores I prefer to use my bare hands to take care of. That is where this handy dandy soap comes into play....
I have developed this soap for those who have a love for digging in the dirt. The ground luffa is added for exfoliation. The super-fatted soap is formulated to aid in bringing moisture back into those dry hands after gardening. Delicate lettuce and rain combines with soft spearmint and is presented to you in a luxurious experience for gardener's everywhere. This is sure to be a hit with your hands and your gardening friends. Stop on by my shop to get yours today!

Mama Z of Two Zany Zebras

Mama Z of Two Zany Zebras always keeps me in stitches with the stories she shares on her blog of being a mother to two zany children. I laugh at her life experiences because my 3 children were monkeys when they were little, and pulled a lot of similar stunts over the years. And when she's on the brink of insanity, I can totally relate...been there! :)


Two Zany Zebras Shop "is home of the Zarkles. Wondering what in the world is a Zarkle? They are whimsical creatures that are part of the Zarkle family. Each Zarkle has their own unique name, personality, and Zany Pocket Blankie to sleep in. They can also be a comfort at night and help keep all the scary things at bay. Two Zany Zebras also specialize in the Zany Cuddle Blankie, Super Zany Blankie, and Zany Pocket Blankie."


Aren't they cute? Oh, you know you want one, so get over to the Zany shop and grab yours today!

Citrus Twins Cold Processed Soap

PIF from Erica

Erica from Tote-n-Tots is closing her shop due to the impending laws of CPSIA. It is my hope that congress will act and amend the law so that is doesn't put small business ~ out of business. Such a shame, because Erica made my DD a wonderful upscale Diaper Bag and an awesome pair of booties for the baby. I quickly snagged up some fabric destash Erica recently listed and you just cannot believe how touched I was when I discovered the sweet extras she tucked in for my soon-to-be Granddaughter. Thank you soooo much, Erica.



Erica has made lemonade out of the lemons ~ you really MUST check out her new shop that was recently opened on Etsy, NicoDesigns. Good Luck with your new shop, Erica!
