Botanical Earth

On Friday I’ll be packing up and travelling with my sister to Statesville, North Carolina.  My grandmother, who inspired me to continue soapmaking, needs her house fixed while she is ill in Colorado - so why not drive 750 miles to paint and mow the yard?  I love going there so it’s not a problem in the least.  On Saturday we hope to go to the Asheville Farmers Market and I’ll have to post about that because there are several great soapmakers there I have heard. 

On Sunday it’s a big trip to the cementary to see all the family…is that too morbid?  I love ancestory/heritage things and find great peace going…it gives me a sense of place and belonging.  There’s at least 4 generations just in one area.  The desk I use in the shop was my great- great -grandfather’s that he used at the Mill he founded.  I go to his grave and talk about business…actually some of my best ideas have come visiting - go figure.

Since I’m leaving, the shop will be closed Friday through at least Wednesday next week.  You’ll be able to order, but nothing will ship until I return on the 12th of Sept.
