This cool soap was made by a first time soap maker who came into our soap bar.  Sarah made this cool wine soap.  It has a bottle, the grapes and a nice little border.  Beautiful!

Pre School Field Trip To Opal'z!

We had a fun soap making field trip this week with the Butterflies (4 and 5  year olds) from Footsteps Preschool in Menlo Park.   The kids were so well behaved and very engaged in the projects!  They made 3 great soaps each and they were all so proud of their beautiful creations.  Super teachers Abby and Tina and a couple of creative moms made it really easy and so fun for all.  Thanks for coming Footsteps Butterflies!  We look forward to more field trips and another visit from Footsteps soon!

Wedding Favor Soaps


We had a family wedding shower where we made these wedding favors. It is a piece of dissolving paper stamped with gold ink that says "love" in Chinese characters inside a bar of clear soap. Very pretty and personal.
