Get Them While They're Hot

I just made a delivery of a few "earthly delights" over to the Tornado Gallery at 19th and Buddy Holly. There is some good stuff-Barley and Hops (beer) Shave Rounds, Clove Shave Rounds, Vanilla Patchouli Shave Rounds, Lavender Rustica bar soaps, Orange Honey Drizzle Bar Soaps, and a few sample packs.

If you are a fan of Orange Honey Drizzle or Lavender Rustica get them while they're hot-the previous bars delivered were gone-they sell quickly.

A Couple of Juicy Tid-bits ;-)

If you're an Etsy shopper this is GREAT news-now you can pick up your Tierra Verde goodies while you're hanging out on Etsy. The Tierra Verde Shop is up and running-it's a small and personal neighborhood shop-(I like to think of it as comfy and cozy-the kind of place you can peruse with your hot tea in hand)pop on by, and show some neighborly love by adding Tierra Verde to your circle or as a favorite place to hang out. Stop on by-we'll leave the light on for you!

In other news-just part of a large order of Lavender Rustica taking up much real estate on my kitchen table, the rest is hanging out over on the curing rack-soon there will be lots of Orange Honey Drizzle soldiers to take up the slack. Lots of soap and so little room-such is the challenge of working out of your kitchen. ;-)

Whew! What a Relief.

My most challenging batch, Lavender Rustica a blend of  Lavender and Vanilla came out juuuuust right! Other than a little sticking to the freezer paper(Ummm, I might have been to eager to check on the status of the sides and peeled the paper back while it was a bit too warm-just maybe) this batch is perfection. Yay! I've got 3 more blocks to make of Lavender Rustica and this certainly is getting things underway on a good note. ;-))

Lavender Rustica and 2.26 Minutes of Fame

 Lavender Rustica in review

So, this review is kind of a crazy story. I don't submit my soaps for review-not because I don't fully believe that I have a very nice product, but because well opinions are very subjective (you know to each his own.)

If your wondering about placing your first order of Tierra Verde Handmade Soaps-here's a few unsolicited and gracious words about my product.

Heart Handmade Feature

I just stumbled upon this feature minutes ago- so funny how I often just happen across them without even knowing they are out there. Such a nice surprise to run across. A big "Thanks" to Mandie over at Heart Handmade. <3

Tweaking and a Reminder

Lavender Shaving Round - 3.75 oz

I decided to tweak my round packaging just a bit. I really love the pleating and texture more in the front, so the back is now the front-love it!

Lavender Rustica 4.5 oz

Romantically rustic; encrusted with lavender buds (with a few sprinkled throughout) this soap is for the person who is romantic at heart. Immerse yourself in the calming, soothing warmth of lavender and vanilla while restoring soulful balance to the end of a long day.

Limited edition - Lavender Rustica is listed over at the Tierra Verde Handmade Soaps website  and will be ready to go tomorrow June 24. It has darkened a bit (as of course a soap with vanilla does) and it smells just beautiful.
