that time of year...

Fall... the boys are back in school, the new buck is getting busy with all the girl goats, and I'm back into taking my soap business up a notch.

My little boy's first day of Kindergarten... no hesitation! Hooray!

Here's 5 of my 6 girls: starting from the top, Coca, Cookie, Thunder behind Easter, and Cupcake (Mocha was in the barn with the buck)

My other girls: "We are not sheep... we are polar bears!"Maple Hill Soap now on Facebook... look for the frame on this page.

I'm again researching my options for Packaging... which is probably the hardest part of having my own product! I'll be joining www.wholesalecrafts.com as soon as I can figure it out (all in good time I'm sure!)

p.s. I am done with farmers markets for the season.
But you can now find my Maple Hill Soap in Oak Harbor at Hummingbird Farm!

Love the LOVE SPELL!

I'm really excited about the swirl action in this new "love spell" soap! I was a little worried at first, the fragrance is really strong! But what do I know??? According to my farmers market customers, this popular fragrance stays true in my new soap. So glad, because I made A LOT of it!!!

latest testimonials

I get a lot of great feedback on my soap... Here's a few unsolicited emails that I received this last week:

"Hi Susan, I love the soap! I like that it is hard...
My skin feels like I put lotion on after I use your soap, I really like it. My husband washes his hair with it. His hair is nice & shiny now. I'll be ordering more soon."

"Outstanding product! The quality of your soaps is, well, better than IVE ever seen. Keep it up!"

"I received a bar of Maple Hill Citrus Bay soap as a gift and my completion never looked so good. Thank you I will be ordering soap from you."

See you at Mukilteo Farmers Market!

TODAY is opening day in Mukilteo... this season will be down at the Lighthouse Park. 3-7 every Wedsnesday all summer! http://www.mukilteofarmersmarket.org/ Stop by and say Hi! It will be a beautiful day!!!

Where've I been?

Well, basically, with my family! Steve's been working out of town, so I have the kids. Then, we've been having some seriously fun quality time on the weekends!

I will be back to Coupeville Farmers Market next Sat (5/30) and possibly Greenbank on Sunday, then MUKILTEO market starts up Weds afternoon (6/3.) See you there!

Island Drug is once again stocked up with delicious goat-milk soap! Oak Harbor and LaConner locations.

I'll be absent from the farmers market scene for a few weeks, but you can still buy at www.maplehillsoap.com or find great deals on http://www.bonanzle.com/booths/smiles (never hurts to remind you with a shameless plug!)

We're getting ready for our spring trek up and over the Cascades... got the tent trailer all (well almost) fixed up and good to go! Still need to make sure that heater is working! We'll be celebrating lucky #13 anniversary, going back to Klipchuck!
