I did say when I started my blog that I've never done anything like this before and was shocked when I came back to see that I hadn't updated since 4th April. I really must try harder.
So since April what's happened....
Well as you know we got our retweet from Theo Paphitis on the 3rd April and things went wild at Village Green Soaps. I had a badge uploaded to my web page as many of the other #sbs members before me have done. I think it looks great and I wear it with pride!
We have had various requests for us to supply little gift shops, hotels and restaurants. Think its really wonderful and I'm busy sorting all this out.
We then received the great news that we had been selected as one of the UK Handmade products for their Summer Showcase. I was absolutely thrilled. We appear beside lots of other lovely items all made in the UK.

Welcome to the UK Handmade Summer Showcase featuring a selection of gorgeous handmade products from designers and makers from across the UK. Each photograph clicks straight through to the seller's own shop so you can find out more about each item and buy direct from the maker. Happy shopping!
So everyone should be supporting this initiative and keeping small and independent retailers going strong on the high street something that is being championed by Mary Portas.
We've been busy preparing new items soon to be appearing on the website. We will be adding a range of Liquid Soaps, Bath Salts, Bath Truffles and Bath Bombs. All made by hand using sustainably sourced natural ingredients. So keep an eye and they should be launched soon.
We have also added an events page to our website. This will be updated with the events we will be appearing at such as Village Fetes, the Tetbury Food Festival and various School Fairs. So keep an eye out for us as we could be appearing near you!
Thanks for all your support over the last couple of months and remember if we are out and about and you see us do pop by and say 'Hello'
