Time to put some Pink Oyster mushroom spawn outside in the dead fall pile.

I didn't want to risk putting these out while it was so dry, but now that the summer rains (and hurricanes...) are back, I'm less worried they'll die before getting settled in.

🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 5 star review from Sherita Robertson: Fraser Fir

Although is blue, it has a hint of the Just Breathe fragrance which was one of my favorites. Had to get it two because I love it so much.

Scrubs wonderfully. Even removes the green from messing with tomato plants.
It's a must have on the homestead.

🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 5 star review from Lori Hutton: These soaps are FABULOUS!

I'm currently using the Cucumber Garden soap right now, and have Lemon Drop waiting in the wings. Previously I've got the Thirst Trap and Andromeda soaps as gifts. They have converted me to a bar soap user once again because they lather up great, leave my skin feeling clean (no residues!) and smell awesome too boot! (Plus Andromeda glows in the dark!). I just wish I went through them faster (they LAST!) so I could order more. :)

Keep your prosperity gospel;
your hustle culture and
your startup luncheons.
Michelin stars and designer perfumes
pale next to the redolence of
the air when the orange trees bloom
and tomato season starts;
when every inhale
is heavy with neroli
and lunch lies waiting,
still sun-warmed,
on the cutting board.

Make coffee, break apart the seed garlic for planting.

I'm a bit farther behind than I'd like, but the Inchelium Red garlic planting is almost done for the year. Then it's finishing the Lorz Italian garlic planting.

However, shipping your soap orders is up next, now that Cedarwood Vanilla and Library are ready to go out.

🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 5 star review from Kirsten Maier: Gorgeous fragrance on this one

I have never gotten a soap I didn't like from here which is pretty amazing since I usually don't like floral scents. None I have gotten bug my nose and this is no exception! Skin loves these soaps too, no irritation or anything!

🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 5 star review from Christine Borg: happy with happy!

My order of Happy arrived ! I adore this soap and i had run out! Abbys web site said it was on back order. But she filled this order more promptly than I expected. If you enjoy the old fashion Sandalwood true scent this bar is for you! I'm 65 and have loved this scent since high school when i found a small fan made from actual sandalwood. I have looked for this scent since then and this is the first time, I have truly found it ! Abby is a chemical genius when it comes to fragrance! I had also added a new bar of her new lemon scent. Now I am not a fan of commercial uses of lemon. But my faith in Abbys genius led me to order. She did not disappoint! its light and airy, not in your face. it is a beautiful fragrence.

The hardest part of making Happy is keeping the blue out of the green and the red out of the white. 😂

It's one of my odd gardening quirks: I don't like pruning tomato suckers because it feels like a waste of tomato plant. (I know, it's odd.)

If you're like me, this tomato plant multiplying gardening hack is for you.

Bonus: free tomato plants!

Winter is our cool weather crop season, so there's no better time to test out a hydroponics build than with romaine lettuce in December in Florida.

It's literally two 10' gutters with end caps, expanded clay, and your standard hydroponics solution. (... and some dirt, because I pulled the medium from the currently out of commission big hydroponics garden.)

Yes, those are rusted patio chairs. The world doesn't need perfect, it needs the courage to try with what you have on hand. 😉

🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 5 star review from Joseph Harrison: We smell so good :-).

I bought a lot of different scents and have been playing guess the soap every month! fun! Also, I dissolved a bar in a hand wash dispenser and we are loving it.

SIMPLY THE ZEST: Lemon Drop! It took five years to find a lemon fragrance we were proud to make for you. It had to be just a little sweet, but Read More » November 17, 2023 No Comments

🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 5 star review from Brian W.: Soap adoption is a GREAT idea!

You might expect tiny samplers at this price point. But these are not samples, or remnants. I mean, sure, I selected test batch items. But they are full-size bars of quality, handmade soap. And they arrive quickly in the same great packaging as the standard offerings. What a great way to sample other wares from my fave soaper!

Curing rack filling up!

Making sure we have enough soap for gift giving orders. 😍😍

(Maybe I'm old fashioned, but I still try to give host/hostess gifts for Holiday Parties and events. Am I too old fashioned?)

It's taken me a while to find a Lemon fragrance blend I liked, but y'all, we finally have it. Not too sweet, not too cleaning supplies - just enough to make your mouth water. ( is our hashtag for a reason. 😂)

Lemon Drop is due in November.

(While you wait, go grab a bar of Ghost Stories and enjoy the glow in the dark and charcoal swirl.)

Next batch of Andromeda is out of the mold now, and on the curing racks. Still have one bar in stock, so I'm managing to stay ahead of inventory!

(Soap has a long cure time, so staying ahead like that takes some planning.💪)

Have you ever had a dream that felt like this bar of Lucid Dreaming soap looks?

Were you flying over mountains on Earth into the sunrise or on a different planet entirely?

10/20/2023

Andromeda isn't completely out of stock, but let's make sure that doesn't happen.

(Andromeda is one of our glow in the dark soaps.)

Clearance alert!

The fragrance has mostly faded in the bars of this soap we have left, so if you want to try our soap but aren't particular about fragrance, here's a great chance!

🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 5 star review from Elizabeth Greene: Seriously scrubby!

I am enjoying this bar a lot. The scrub is VERY assertive—in a good way. My skin feels very smooth after a shower and is excellently prepared for lotion. That said, I don’t plan on using this bar every day, as I think it could irritate my skin. Which just means I will need to dig into another TRF bar—oh no!

🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 5 star review from Shea Leo: Scrubby Bars Are Amazeballs!

A friend got me hooked on all of Abby’s soaps, and I finally ran out and needed to restock. I LOVE the scrubby bars, and as a mild eczema sufferer these really help to get rid of the extra dead skin I’ve always got. Proceed with caution around your naughty bits if you choose peppermint! Anyways, all of the soaps make my skin feel fantastic and hydrated. Thanks for making such fantastic soaps!

Just a quick note:

If you've emailed us recently, we just found out our server's spam filters were being overly aggressive and we hadn't been getting most of our email!

We're so very sorry! We haven't been ignoring you - our server was just hungrier than usual and you'd been sending some tasty email. It couldn't resist eating them.
