  2. Hi Rach I'd forgotten about that petite gift and I noticed far off in the background of new fabulous upstairs bath les pewter cameo heart frame (complete I think with much loved cat photo - Kevin perhaps ?) I am an avid soap hoarder as well, makes your bathroom smell so lovely.

    much love, les Gang

  7. Karen you must try the little sampler guest soap package shown here - each little bar lasts ages and you get to test all the ah-mazing scents.

  8. Was looking at some beautiful lemon myrtle soap in the health food store yesterday, and the assistant said, "if you wrap this in a little paper bag and keep it in the glovebox of your car - your car will smell wonderful". Sold.
