|
|
For the past couple of years I have bought logs of Basmati Rice goats milk soap from Faithacre Farm Goods. It's the only soap my hubby uses. I tried emailing her and haven't gotten a response so I assume she's not doing it anymore. I knew this day would come (and now I have to hoard my last 2 bars). So it's time to look for someone new. Who do you like? |

Psst... I still have 6 bars of it
They were a seconds batch, so I'll share with you FFS since Tara was a real sweetie and discounted them so much due to a problem with the batch - but they still function perfectly!
Last time I spoke with her was a few months ago - she was still talking about getting her Etsy page up and at em' back then, maybe situation has changed for her. I'll be sad if she stops making soaps!
BUT... We are having a coop in our coop forum right now with RELAX. I use her soaps and they are fantastic. We have loaves of soap for sale there. You make them how you want them choose your scent, choose your ingredient preferences, color preferences, cut preferences. $25 for the loaf. They loaf makes 8 bars and that's about $3.13 a bar
Heres the link:

Also, my favorite soap maker is Kristena at Dreamseeds: http://hyenacart.com/stores/dreamseeds/
My favorite scent by her is 'Bloom' you'll never look back after this soap!
Also - Linnea Design makes some very special soaps that smell like heaven!:
http://hyenacart.com/stores/Necessitae/
*You'll have to scroll down a bit to get to her stock.
So those 3 are my favorites. I have bars from other businesses too, I very rarely run into soap makers here that make a bad bar. Most use the cold press method. Here are a few other good soaps I own:
Vinca Leaf: http://hyenacart.com/stores/vincaleaf/
Rebecca rocks to work with. She is my Mother's favorite soap maker of all time. (*to me, preference on soap maker all depends on your skin type*)
Country Soaps by Marlene: http://hyenacart.com/stores/countrysoapsbymarlene/
She also stocked at: http://hyenacart.com/stores/UniversalMama/
She has this scent called fresh cut tomato... OH EM GEE!!!!  |

I would love to take some of them off your hands! I hope she does open up an etsy store. I miss her. I'll check out the coop too. |

My favorite soap is from Chrissy at The Happy Hausfrau here on HC. We'll be running a co-op with her at the end of March. You can choose soaps by the bar or per loaf and you can make the ones per loaf custom. _________________ Jenny

I need to make my own soap... I'm a soap junkie apparently. I traded my yarn obsession with soap apparently!  |

So happy. Just got a message back from Tara at FAF! But keep the suggestions going. I think I need a little variety in my stash. |

Natural Madison has great soap. I liked Lautzy too, but I guess she's closed? and Earth Muffin, but I haven't bought any of hers for a while. _________________ ~ Amy Sue~

I remember Lautzy - they were the first people I bought hand made soap from. I can't remember what, but I remember being sad when she closed  |

I was going to suggest Country Soups by Marlene, too. My whole family is addicted to her stuff.  _________________ Denise/Veggiewitch Lucky Mama to 4 Elflings
