Hello, Pumpkin!

I've been cranking out soap by the truck loads. The craft~ fair~holiday~party~favor season has me working hard and having a ball. It really is a gift to be able to do what you love.

I find myself sniffing this bar of Perfect Pumpkin almost hourly. The fragrance is Pumpkin Spice from Brambleberry. It's a rich, warming blend of pumpkin, cinnamon, cardamom and nutmeg. The recipe is simple~ rice bran oil, palm & coconut blended with a bit of organic shea butter. It's colored with turmeric, paprika & a swirl of ground cinnamon. See why I call it perfect?

Pick up a bar or three from Twin Birch on etsy and enjoy these first few days of Autumn in Vermont wherever you are!

Pumpkin Party

I made a batch of Cinnamon Pumpkin CP this weekend. It's the first time that I used colorants from my spice drawer. The coloring is mostly turmeric with just a dash of paprika. I added both to the lye solution and mixed in some cinnamon while it was coming to trace.

I've seen my new favorite word..."SCRUMMY". That's the best description of how this beautiful bar smells. It's SCRUMMY. Can't wait to post it on Etsy during the 1st week of October!
