Butterflies enjoying the figs and the sunshine today. Too high up for me to get what's left and we've already made our Christmas chutney. 🎄
We've had 2kg figs so have left the rest for the wildlife. What a bumper crop! 🤩

Calendula flowers growing ..... and drying for my Calendula soap I will be making in a month or so for Christmas (!!) Market in Brockenhurst Nov/Dec 2025.

I have (almost) stopped making altogether now!! But I shall have a couple of varieties available at just one Christmas Craft Fair before my insurance runs out.
My website and email forwarding is no longer working so please contact me through this page.
"Hedgehogs Need You" have stock of 2 soap varieties I have donated to them.
They continue to sell at the more popular craft fairs around the New Forest.
Their next craft fair is tomorrow, 19 April at Ringwood Artisan Craft Easter Market - The Furlong!
They have a supply of my popular Geranium and Patchouli and Gardener's Scrub bars. A few of these hedgehog fridge magnets are also available. 😍
Please support them. Thanks for reading!

Working on labels. Just a mock-up but I think this could work.
Not sure what varieties to make as it will be dependent on whatever ingredients I have left in stock.
Please buy your favourites from Hedgehogs need You at their craft fairs over the next few months.

After a great deal of thought, I have decided to close my little business at the end of this current tax year. 2024 was not a good one for sales and ingredients and expenses have rocketed to the extent it is no longer viable for me to make (and sell) 'Just a little bit'.
I still love to formulate all personal care items - and I shall certainly continue - but I will no longer be selling - it will be personal/family use only.
Thank you to New Forest Heritage Centre, Lyndhurst and everyone who has supported me during the last 7-8 years.
I shall be making some donations for Hedgehogs need You whilst I have insurance cover and until my supplies run out - so please visit them at their Craft Fairs around the New Forest this summer. I'm looking forward to no paperwork and the Spring weather. xx
