SSL Problem fixed

Finally! I was able to work with my hosting provider and get this handled. No more nasty warnings that the SSL certificate is bogus - it never was; there was just an issue with the way it was registered. The difference is that you no longer get scary warning messages!

All is well - so shop to your heart's content!

Violet Crown Fall Festival

Mark your calendar

Violet Crown Fall Festival
Saturday November 14
Crestview Shopping Center
7100 Woodrow Avenue

A fun and neighborly way to spend a few hours on Saturday...maybe do a little early Christmas shopping. We'll be there and hope to see you.

Holiday Shows

I didn't get selected for the Cherrywood Art Fair this year - after participating for 5 years! There's a new artist coordinator and I understand they wanted to shake things up a bit, but I'm bummed that I got shaken out.

I will be participating in the Violet Crown Fall Festival on November 14. I'll post more details soon. And my friend Kathleen is hosting a home show; let me know if you're interested in details.

And, of course, you can order on line or give me a call. Just don't look for me at Cherrywood this year (sigh)

New Soap - Benefits Cancer Research

I've decided on a name for my new soap blend - Esperanza. The name means Hope in Spansih. It's a lovely pale, pale pinkish colour with an woody, somewhat herbal, little bit scent. The scent is hard to describe,but it's very pleasant.

Violet Crown Soap will donate $1 from the sale of each bar of this soap to the American Cancer Society.

Get clean for a cause! I've added the soap to the website and will get a picture up there asap.

suggestions for name

I made a soap with a new (to me) essential oil blend - Rosewood, Rose Geranium, and a touch of Sweet Orange. It's mildly floral, a little woody. Let's have a contest! Help me name my soap and I'll send you a bar!

Test batch- personalized soaps

Out of the mold and ready to cut and stamp - an uncolored batch of soap scented with a beautiful fragrance oil called Confederate Jasmine. Stay tuned for pictures of this sample batch

Personalized Soaps Available Soon!

Violet Crown Soap will be offering personalized individual-sized soaps very soon! The soaps will be small (about 1.5 " square) and can be personalized individually. Use them for baby and wedding shower favors, wedding party gifts (bridesmaid and/or groomsmen),etc.

The soaps will weigh about 1.5 ounces each, and will be sold in sets - 8 for $16.

You'll be able to personalize each soap with a different name or sentiment, with a date, or with the same information. I'll have samples ready to photography in the next 10 days.

Watch for pictures! I'll be adding the soaps to VioletCrownSoap.com and to our etsy store (www.violetcrownsoap.etsy.com) as soon as they are available.
