Support Handmade

I've just signed up to they Buy Handmade pledge and hope that you all will too!  Last year we were lucky enough to be picked for the UK Handmade Summer Showcase.   They have a campaign running to get people to buy handmade products and in doing so they in turn are supporting independent designers and makers throughout the UK.

Take a look and sign up to their campaign.

We're also in getting ready for Mrs Scoops and Little Miss G's Vintage Wedding Fair in Milton Keynes on the 26th February.  Do stop by if  you're in the area.  It promises to be a great day out for all couples planning a wedding.  I believe Johanna Hehir  http://www.johanna-hehir.com/ will be showing some of her beautiful wedding dresses as well as lots of lovely stalls for you to get inspiration for your day. 

Look forward to seeing you all soon

Village Green News

So here we are half way through January already and around the village the daffodils are out already along with roses in some of the garden which the weather men will tell you is unusually early.  Goodness knows what will happen to them when Jack Frost hits as predicted in a couple of days.

I've started the year as I mean to go on updating the blog, getting the workshop tidy, doing a full stock take and now am in the process of getting the website updated with our gift boxes and new soaps.  Hope you will like them.  

I've also had a number of new pictures taken by the very talented Lyndsey James Photography http://www.lyndsey-james.co.uk/ and I am absolutely thrilled with how they have turned out.  My soaps have never looked better. Thank you Lyndsey!!

I hope January is going well for you too and to ensure that the January blues stay away our SALE is still in full swing with bargains to be had on many of our soaps http://www.villagegreensoaps.co.uk/handmade-soaps  Pick up a bar and give your skin a treat!

As always if you see us out and about do say hello we'd love to see you.

Happy New Year!

Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and Happy New Year!  Can't quite believe that we have reached 2012 already.

2011 has flown with so many highlights it would be difficult to list them all!  If you follow us on  Facebook (Village Green Soaps) or Twitter (@VillageGrnSoaps) you will probably know all about them.  If you don't already do so please join us there - we'd love to see you!

We attended various events throughout the year with November and December being incredibly busy with lots of Markets and Christmas Fairs.  Throughout the year we have loved meeting the people who came and supported us along the way.

I've spent a rather quiet Christmas at home with my family in Gloucestershire but have written the biggest 'To-Do' List ever and have lots planned for 2012.  I've made yet another resolution to try and update the blog more often and an hopeful that this time I will succeed. 

We are now holding our January Sale on the website and you may like to pick up one of your favourite soaps there www.villagegreensoaps.co.uk

Wishing you all the best for 2012 and look forward to seeing you soon.

Bye for now
