Goat's Milk Soap












I have finally made my goats milk soap. I'm so glad I did, I love this stuff. So rich and creamy!! I have listed a few bars in my Etsy store but have not listed it on the web site yet.
http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5858024

Following is what my listing says about the soap.
"Rich and creamy Goats milk soap helps to relieve dryness leaving skin feeling silky smooth.

Our Goats milk soap is made with real goats milk and has a rich, creamy lather. It provides moisture and is calming to skin. Goat's milk has high amounts of protein, fat, iron, vitamin C and vitamin D, vitamin B and Vitamin A. These beneficial nutrients will help replenish and pamper the skin gently.
Our Soaps are hand poured and cut therefor they will vary slightly in shape and size."

I have two fragrances listed, Lemon Drop and Magnolia. Both listings are the perfect size for a powder room or kitchen.

Reed's Italian Salad Dressing

Another Handcrafted treat!
I agree...It is the best!!

When I am running short on time and need a quick dinner, I marinate my chicken or beef in this dressing and have never been disappointed. I have given this dressing to family and friends over the years. I have always received rave reviews and requests for more.
This small family owned business actually started out as Onions Cafe in Borger, Texas just outside of Amarillo, Texas in 1993. They served onion burgers during the day fried catfish and steaks at night.

In their "spare" time they handcrafted "the best italian dressing you have ever tasted...Delite in every bite".
This Italian dressing was a big hit with all of the customers, and soon it was the talk of the town. Thanks to loyal customers the Italian dressing business began to grow and eventually they had make a decision, the restaurant or the dressing. They deided to sell the restaurant and put their energy into the dressing. What a marvelous decision it was, for all of us!
These days Fred Reed can be found at craft fairs and festivals across the nation selling his famous dressing.


Reed's Dressing can be found in many grocery and specialty stores throughout Texas and Oklahoma and is available online.

Soap






I have wanted to make soap for the longest time and finally am getting around to it. I made this "There's a loofa in my soap" soap yesterday and am loving it. I created a new scent for this soap...Raspberry Lemonade which is very refreshing and quite fitting for summer, I think. I have listed it for sale in my Etsy store. This soap is an Olive Oil base, next week I will be experimenting with goat's milk...stay tuned.
