Krafty & Black

I'm often surprised to go backwards rather than forwards in packaging. Sometimes it just feels right to go back.
What is it about Kraft labels and black and cream colored ribbon?
The shop is getting stocked with new merchandise and we're anticipating a busy summer at the soap shop on water street.
On the home front we've been making zucchini boats and bread.
Picking purple cone flowers and big fat hydrangea blooms. Don't forget to smash the stems otherwise the blooms won't last through the day. If you smash the stems the blooms will last for at least a week!
If you'd like to learn more about the plant I've posted several how to and why hydrangea stories on "the original soap maker's blog." There is a handy link at the top right of this page.
Summer, sweet Summer, I love you!
Jill
