Winter Spice   Formerly Christmas Spice , we love this one so much we call it winter spice and use it all year.  This seasonal standout is an irresistible blend of Yuletide spice, woods, and sweet notes. At the top, ripe strawberry melds with touches of green apple and pineapple. Next, holiday spices of clove, cinnamon, pimento, and cardamom blend with a hint of rose, leading to  sweet vanilla and balsam fir.

Grandma's Kitchen SOLD OUT Delectable notes of cinnamon, clove, nutmeg, cardamom, and pimento leaf lend warmth to a green, balsamic heart. It brings together rich vanilla and sweet caramel for a mouthwatering finale. For what it's worth, fragrance researchers claim that the scent of pumpkin pie filling will turn men into helpless love slaves, content to sit immobile for hours while you use their arms as a yarn-winder.

Peppermint  Brisk and slightly sweet, this peppermint is a lovely bright fragrance. I use mine mostly in the kitchen for hand washing after handling garlic or onion. Be careful  as it can cause tingling in sensitive areas of the body. It's revitalization and bubbly fragrance is said to improve concentration and mental clarity.

Woodland Oak Moss  SOLD OUT A fabulous combination  loaded with natural Oakmoss botanicals. Men just love this scent on both themselves and the women they're close to. Try it and see. It actually turns heads, it's sexy, earthy with a light touch of floral to round it out perfectly.

 Oatmeal Milk & Honey This blend is a perfect marriage of oatmeal, milk, and honey -- mellow, soothing, with just a hint of sweetness -- the comfort food of fragrance. my personal favorite!

Kauai Ginger  SOLD OUT Also known as *Hawaiian White Ginger*, this glorious scent of the islands is captured in this romantic, gingery blend of tropical florals. It's  pure tropical heaven and almost  like a vacation to the islands.
 

limited quantities , please order early

WARNING - once you use natural soaps, you probably won't want to use store bought soaps any more!  ☺

Alpaca fiber is very soft to the hand, very lightweight for it's warmth, and comes in 22 natural colors. It is a delight to spin, and having yarn from my own animals to knit with pleases me more than I ever thought it would!  Click here to read more about alpaca fiber

As my appreciation for alpaca fiber grows, I know better how to manage the environment for my herd, and have been breeding for fiber qualities that I can appreciate on a new level.

Looking for alpaca fiber?  Visit or email to see what is currently available.    Please email me for more information on what colors are currently available.    

Shearing in 2010 will be in early June.   Take a  look at our Adopt a Fleece program

Here is what the fiber looks like right off the animal.

This is roving, the result of carding.  It aligns the fibers to get them ready for spinning.

This is the wheel I use to spin my yarn.  Although I do love to spin, and I have some of my own hand spun yarns in the store, most of our yarn is send to our friends Jim and Lynn Snell , at Spinderella's for processing.
