Peace Handmade Soaps, Salt Bars and Beauty Products Are Now Available at A Bit of Sas Salon!

 

After six months producing soap for wholesale distribution and craft fairs only, Peaceare finally has a retail presence once again in Lamar! You can now find all your favorite Peaceare handmade soaps, lotion bars, sugar and salt scrubs and more inside Crystal Starne's Salon, "A Bit of Sas," located at 602 E 12th St., Lamar.

Demand for Peaceacre spa salt bars has been so great that I have developed a whole new range of fragrances to delight the senses. New signature scents include a wonderful cucumber-melon made with French green clay, an exotic Thai Spice, a fresh spring Butterfly Garden, and a "beachy" summer fragrance I've named Sand Castle. Of course, all the best selling classic salt bar formulas remain available, including Moroccan Clay, French Market, Lavender, Beach Party and Nag Chompa.

In addition to the therapeutic French green, Moroccan red and white and pink Kaolin specialty clays you have come to expect from Peaceacre handmade soaps and beauty products, with the new fragrances I have introduced several new exotic clays from Russia - Cambrian blue clay, the rarest cosmetic clay on earth, plus Russian yellow and black clays. I love the Russian clays, and am really excited to be working with these amazing cosmetic ingredients you won't find in products anywhere else. Each Peaceacre spa salt bar is hand made, hand cut, and PH tested to ensure the quality of your spa experience.

Also new is my Spa Facial Set, with a variety of artfully blended botanicals, oatmeal powders and specialty clays designed to smooth, cleanse and purify your skin. I've had fantastic feedback on this set! So come in and check it out!

With questions or comments, please email me at Peaceare@ymail.com. Thanks!

Peaceacre and Friends - More pictures of the Store!

As promised, more pictures of the Peaceacre store! New stuff includes hand-knitted scarves, hand-painted floor cloths, homemade candy, vintage jewelry and other unique items. Some bulk herbs are also available. Muslin bags, wooden soap dishes, all kinds of cool stuff!

I have extended my hours to Tuesdays, Thursday and now Fridays, Noon to 6:00 PM. Thanks again for supporting handmade, and the Arts Council of Barton County, too.  I don't want to sound like a used car salesman, but the soaps are selling quicker than I thought, so if you are interested, you'd better find your way to the store soon!

I also want to let everybody know that I will be teaching a FREE clas for kids, ages 6 to 12, called "Making Christmas Ornaments form Natural Materials" on Saturday, December 12th. For a preview of the kinds of cool ornaments kids can make in this class, click here.

Wrapping Up the Farmers Market Season

Saturday, November 21st will be the final Saturday for this Farmers market season. We said in an earlier post that we were moving indoors a few weeks ago, but the weather improved, it's the last day to see our market buddies, so we'll be there on Saturday. Think Christmas! We'll have Peaceacre gift bags and baskets, cool stocking stuffers, etc. We'll also have some wonderful handcrafted datebooks and calendars and a really cool recipe box created by Gayla Miller from Liberal. Come see us!

10th St. Community Farmer's Markets at Apple Days

On October 3rd, Peaceacre joined the other vendors of the 10th St. Community Farmer's Market at "Apple Days," Lamar's annual fall festival set up all around our historic downtown square. Georgous fall colors were everywhere, the weather was great, and people turned out in huge numbers.

The bravest amongst the 10th St. Farmer's Market vendors plan to continue on at the Moore Pavillion well into November - but for Peaceacre, the cold weather means we're moving our operation INDOORS!

This has been the first year for the 10th St. Community Farmer's Market, and the first year we've sold our handmade soaps and herbal products in a public venue. It has been a fabulous year, for the Market and for Peaceacre. Lots of folks have asked if they'll be able to find us after the market closes for the season. We WILL be continuing all winter long! We found a great studio space upstairs in the Arts Council building on the NW corner of the square, and have set up shop. "Apple Days" pretty much wiped out our on-hand stock, but I am busy in the studio creating new batches of all of the favorites and most requested items, and coming up with a few new suprises, as well. We have also created a "store" page (see the link in the "my pages" section of the right hand menu bar of this page) where you can see the various products that we make. At this point, we are not set up for on-line sales, but we're working on that.

If you don't live in Lamar, and you just can't live without our stuff, email me! I'll work something out!

I want to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has been so very supportive of Peaceacre in our first year. We have met so many wonderful people, and made lots of new friends.
