RAVEN NOIR WITH RAVENS BREW




You haven't seen Raven Noir in a while because we've been working hard to get a licensed contract with Raven's Brew Coffee©, Inc., to be able to use their Ebony Pearls™ French Roast coffee in our Raven Noir Soap.

It's been a great success and we are very happy with the results, and are ready to share it with you!

Here are just some of the specs on this NEW IMPROVED version:
Coffee helps tighten and detox skin and helps tighten and de-puff eye area - great when you're a little sleep deprived!
Caffeine supplies the skin with antioxidants which fight against aging - we all want some of that!
Recent studies conclude coffee aids in tightening cellulite when used on body - and fights acne!

*We make no claims, but give it a try, we think it's been a great addition to this already wonderful soap!

We've also used the extract of the herbs, taking out the scratchiness of the ground herbs, making it softer on your skin. It still gently exfoliates with Black Coal powder and powdered Black Walnut Husks.

Enjoy on time for the Holidays,

Team T.C. Soap Co.

Raven Noir Takes Off



This rendition of our formerly KA "Practical Magic" Black Coal Soap, is gaining rapidly in popularity. We've added Wormwood, that special herb said to give Absinthe it's hallucinogenic qualities. Well, it's actually an anti-bacterial when applied topically, and of course it will not make you hallucinate!! We also updated the scent, it's resinous and unisex, earthy with a touch of floral. The main ingredient is the Black Coal, which draws out impurities and also lightens and brightens skin tone. I see an exciting future for our Little Raven Noir! Keep your eye on THIS one!

Rainbow Mittens



I know, I know, it's SUMMER time! But I couldn't help sharing my excitement over this etsy shop I found a few days ago. I stumbled upon this cute shop RAINBOW MITTENS, where the owner hand knits these mittens herself! They totally remind me of the mittens I wore as a kid in the 80's. The ones pictured above are called "HONEY RAINBOW" mittens, which is so suiting!
I'll need some new mittens this fall & winter, because the ones I've had for 6 years are looking kind of sad and drab! Once there's even an inkling of coldness, I'm running straight to the computer to order me some of these adorable RAINBOW MITTENS.
If you're a mitten AND a rainbow lover like me, this shop will fulfill your every dream!

Summer fun Soap

Summer is here guys!
We've got some wonderful summer soaps for you, inspired by the Ocean.
Treat your man to SEAWEED 'N RUM or our KRAKEN Sea Salt Soap.
And for you we have the blue MERFOLK Sea Salt Soap, pictured below.
All of them exfoliate to give you a healthy glow, even if you can't make it to your favorite coastal destination this year.
You'll want to buy a back-up bar, to have on hand when the winter-blues come around again!

New Wonderland Bath Effervescents!



I just put up all of the Wonderland Bath Effervescents in the SHOP.
You can choose from: Alice "Eat me Not" - Mad Hatter "Wonderland Tea" - Queen of Hearts "Painted Rose" - and Cheshire Cat "Berry Appeary". They are all wonderful in their own right, but my favorite is Mad Hatter "Wonderland Tea", with heady notes of Bergamot, earl grey tea, cream and sugar - the added milk powder makes my skin fabulously soft!
They are limited ~ so get them while they last! You can buy them in the set of 4, and get a discount - or buy them individually. And as always, they come wrapped in biodegradable wrapping.

Hemp a Boo



I finally put a new batch of Hemp a Boo soap up in the SHOP!

Scented with all natural peppermint essential oil. Loaded full of skin softening Organic bamboo shoots & Organic hemp powder.
Top it all off with omega-loaded hemp and olive oil, and you have yourself one very skin nourishing bar. What gets me even more excited? Not only is it processed in an eco-friendly manner, it's packaged in 100% biodegradable packaging! It's vegan! It's orangutan safe - not meaning OK to use on orangutans, silly - by not using palm oil I keep from supporting the corruption of their habitat - now that really lights my fire, baby! Hopefully it lights yours too! While you're at it, check out the new soap stamp (movin' on up).

The lather is soft and frothy, equally suited for shaving. I would go so far as to say, you could even use this soap on your face! My husband does - he uses it for shaving and as a body & face soap. Now only if you could use it on your hair, you'd need no other soap. Alas, I don't recommend using it as a shampoo! (Solid shamp bars coming soon!)

There's nothing I love more than taking a nice cool shower with some peppermint soap, on a hot, muggy, summer day - or early in the morning, to wake myself up! Rejoice!

An age old motto "Live and let live".

I'm happy to be offering these beautiful Bella (Twilight) inspired earrings, at a discount this week!

They are equally dressy and casual.

Pick New Packaging
















I've been hitting the drawing-board on our new soap packaging - these are the two winners, but we can't decide which to pick!
They are both 100% biodegradable, so both are eco friendly. One is using a paper bag, and the other is using a biodegradable food bag, which looks a lot like wax paper. You can help me, by voting on my poll to the right of my blog ----------->

Thank you for your vote!

Friendship



My inspiration for this piece was, of course, friendship. In my mind, it was a story of two unlikely friends - two totally different people, that had bonded.
The execution was, acrylic, watercolor, ink, sparkles, fabric and even beeswax for texture.

I was happy to wake up this morning, and see a message from a fellow etsian, telling me she had put my art print up on her wonderful BLOG.
She uses her blog to feature fine art on etsy - I couldn't be happier!

If you like the print, you can get your own (signed)HERE for only $10.00.

Wishing you all a beautiful day!

Alice Cup Cake Necklace



Here's the last Alice Cup Cake necklace - I made 6 of these, so it's a limited edition!
The cupcakes are made of molding clay, the icing is blue with little sparkles! Atop is a cute brass crown, hanging from a brass chain.

I will not be making these again - so if you want it, don't wait till it's gone!

Goodness I'm back!!



Here's a little antique shop in my new town in Coupeville, on the beautiful Whidbey Island WA - that's why I've changed to an Ocean themed background too!

So much has been going on!! I'll fill you in: my husband lost his job, we moved to a new state and after 6 months things are still in boxes!! We now live in a big old house, built in 1929 - cape cod style.

THE CARAVAN: I've finally put up more stuff in my shop, because I know you all have been missing it *wink-wink* - so don't be shy and take a looksy HERE! I've added a host of new rose rings, great for spring and summer, with new fun colors!
I'll be adding more art prints, as well - ASAP.

T.C. SOAP CO.: Soaps are being made in my new laboratory, as we speak. If you want to head over to the Soap Shoppe, you can do so by clicking HERE.
