Doh! I forgot to tell you all that Amy, over at The Foil Hat, is making soap again. Luscious, decadent, lovely homemade soap. As I was typing up the last post, I kept telling myself, “remember to tell everyone about amyjosoap” (because that’s what I thought about the minute I saw this at the Living History Farms), but alas I popped that picture of the laundry shelf in and just kept on typing.
So how about you all pop over to her new soap making site, order a few bars, and keep small, passion-based, businesses alive and well in the world. I’m saving my pennies, nickels and dimes to gather a few bars in my own galvanized bowl. And the sudsy baths they’ll make… oh, those are going to be divine!
Note: I was not contacted by Amy to tell you about her soap, I just think it looks fantastic.


Amy makes wonderful soap.
But she’s not making the kind I used to buy from her ALL THE TIME.
This isn’t me being nit picky… this is me not liking strong smells because they lead me down the path into migraine territory.
::sigh::
What about the Castille soap? That one’s only goat’s milk and olive oil.
