 Wave goodbye to January and say hello to February! Here at Bittersweet we cherish all twelve months, but February is dear to our heart.
What better time than February to celebrate and indulge in the goodness of our favorite herb, Lavender. We're celebrating by offering an array of Lavender Products, Bouquets, and Perfumes at our brick and mortar. We believe in blooming where you're planted! In this case, blooms of lavender. Happy Lavender Month! The Soap Maker ~ Jill McDowell Lincoln

 My 2019 Creative Juices are flowing like a river! I'm excited more than ever to introduce a medley of new Bittersweet offerings brought on by the down time.
I'm thrilled to be winding down from my break and preparing to re open the apothecary shop with a Winter Grand Re-Opening! New this year... I've opened the back room! It's wide open and has the perfect Feng shui stream. The extra space grants the opportunity to expand and put forward growth and development. Gosh, that sounds so corporate! Bittersweet welcomes you to come and explore and check out our latest and greatest artisan goods. Best wishes for a Happy New Year! Jill McDowell Lincoln  December has rolled over and this soap maker thinks it a perfect time to share our most popular Bittersweet item for the gift giving season. This petite carton holds a scrumptious bar of our signature Holiday Soap and one of our fabulous Lip Balms.
The Soap + Lip Balm Gift Package is available at our brick and mortar exclusively. So, we welcome the shiny month of December with a hand crafted gift that the recipient will love♥  It's hard to believe we're wrapping up another year of soap making! Never in my wildest dreams would I ever imagine that the little business that was named by my mom some twenty-one years ago would now be what it is today. It's a blessing to reflect upon those thoughts and to be reminded of my many blessings. I'm thankful for my amazing customers both new and old, and my cup runneth over with gratitude. Here's to another year of soap making ahead and many more years to come. Wishing you the very best this holiday season! Jill McDowell Lincoln  We're kind of wondering why we haven't jumped on the Felted Wool Bandwagon.
Now we are! After researching the technique further, I was intrigued with the process of felting soap. We also believe the special soap will make a lovely and unique gift for the holidays. Let me tell you why it's so special... Wool wrapped soap offers natural antibacterial properties. The soft wrapping extends the life of the bar, and offers a lather that is nothing short of amazing! Then there's the gentle and soft exfoliating that glides over your skin leaving it baby soft. There you have it. The whole wool story. We'll be offering a mix of red and green wraps through the season. For now we have a collection of beautiful rosy reds. Here's a link to order.  We love denim! Our latest Fall, 2018 Denim Collection offers a mix of brass button jeans, overalls, and maxi skirts. We're more than a soap shop! Visit our modern apothecary shop and design a new fall perfume, stock up or discover amazing natural skin products, spicy fall soaps, and a full line of one of a kind clothing and accessories. Grab a cuppa Joe, and kick back on our amazing shop porch!
Happy Fall! Jill  We're not just a soap shop! Bittersweet offers a unique selection of clothing and accessories. Our Fall 2018 collection is dipped in velvet and suede. Our clothing department is similar to our apothecary, we sell out fast and typically don't duplicate our hand picked merchandise.
Happy Fall! Jill  The anticipation of the sniffing an artisan perfume is exciting! Autumn is an ideal time to create an intoxicating new perfume. We offer one-hundred top notes, middle, and bases so that you can mix and mingle them to create a signature perfume. Our Perfumery is open during shop hours and awaits your creation.
Jill McDowell Lincoln  Plans are underway to transform a hidden shop room into a Botanical Bittersweet. The tucked away space will be filled with dried flowers of all kinds. Lavender, Snow-Berry, Oats, Cedar, Juniper, and a variety of everlasting blooms will be available. We're also offering a "Scent Your Own" Botanical department. Create a beautiful blend of natural potpourri flavored with a delightful seasonal scent.
We expect to have the new addition open by October 1. Stay tuned as we present new ideas and products. Jill McDowell Lincoln  It's summer and the living is easy. Family gatherings, fireworks, taking a dip, hummingbirds, butterflies, and taking time to smell the flowers.
Longer days turn into calm cricket nights. Wishing you the best summer! Jill |
