Opening Day at the Farmer’s Market…

Posted on by

Pure GRACE Soap Detergent and MoreOpening day at the Downtown Farmer’s Market was fantastic!  The weather could not have been any more wonderful; sunshine with a slight breeze, just perfect weather for outdoor shopping.  With 30 plus vendors at our local Market there is much to see and do and this year marks the tenth year of the Market’s existence.  Pure GRACE Soap Masculine Soaps

We spent alot of time this year thinking about how we would like to change around our booth setup to make it more visually appealing to our customers as well as showcase some of our new products.  As you might know we carry a very vintage vibe and flair to everything we do so it was only fitting to work with some fantastic vintage pieces – our favorite 1950’s Maytag Pink Washer is always a must, we also brought back our big white sink for sugar scrub demos.  We added a large old wooden board ladder for soap display and the coolest blue Samsonite piece of luggage which currently houses our masculine line of soaps.

Pure GRACE Soap ScrubsThe bath bombs continue to be one of our best sellers and therefore earned themselves placement at the front of the booth on our favorite shabby chic white table which we purchased from one of our retail locations last year.  We added breezy natural curtains to the booth and a cool large weave rug.  We love our new booth and based on the feedback from our customers, they do too!  Pure GRACE Soap Bath Bombs

Some of our newer products include our all natural powder deodorant which is available in 4 scents – unscented, peppermint, lavender and cedar.  It is a deodorant powder, not an antiperspirant which means it will not inhibit the ability to sweat but it will allow you to smell clean and fresh.  The powder can be applied via a makeup type brush or with fingertips.  A little goes a long way and we are happy to offer a natural alternative that not only works well but does not contain any questionable or harmful ingredients.

Pure GRACE Soap Scrubs and Seasonal SoapsWe also have added a felted wool soap bar kit which has been extremely popular with our customers.  It includes all the supplies and directions needed to make 1 bar of felted wool soap and comes with the bar of soap of your choice.  Its a great gift for the crafty person or for someone who is hard to buy for.  Many of our customers buy the kit to work on with their kids or grand kids.

Finally we had to make room for our seasonal soaps.  Currently we are offering 4 new scents for Spring/Summer.  They include coconut, margarita, honey almond with oats and lilac made with goats milk.  The hands down favorite is the lilac and we are working like crazy to keep it in stock!

We hope to see you soon at the Downtown Terre Haute Farmers Market.

Hobnob Market, Danville, IL…

Posted on by

DSCN2802smallSo how excited were we to be accepted into the juried show Hobnob Market earlier this year?  Super excited!  Hobnob Market is based out of Danville, IL which is about an hour drive from where we are located in Terre Haute, IN.  Holly and Scott Snelling were our amazing hosts for this one of a kind, cool as can be vintage marketplace.  They currently offer 3 markets each year, two are in Danville, IL and one in Effingham, IL.  We are happy to be participating in all three this year!DSCN2766small

Marketed as “Not your Grandma’s Antique Show”, the first marketplace took place this past weekend at Kennekuk County Park near Danville.  Us along with roughly 150 other vendors gathered our wares under large tents.  We had one thing in common – our love of all things vintage!

This show is amazing and if DSCN2736smallyou get a chance to come see it I would highly recommend it.  Anything and everything you have ever wanted and things you have never even dreamt of are here.  I’m pretty sure I could live here…forever.  But I had to pull myself together.  I was a vendor after all, I was there for selling not buying…. Don’t worry, I found some time for buying when my husband wasn’t looking.  But back to selling.

DSCN2748We met some of the most incredible people at Hobnob.  Both vendors and clients alike; everyone was so happy to be there and in the moment.  Friday night hosts the “Fresh Picked Party”.  Its a special VIP sort of night consisting mostly of girlfriends and wine.  Did I mention wine?  I didn’t have the chance to try it myself but my clients said it was fabulous.  Everyone shows up in their party attire and gets first pick of the market.  The next morning the market reopens for a full day of fun and shopping.  We saw more husbands and families on Saturday but still everyone was so happy to be there.  Although the weather was soggy and rainy on Friday night, Saturday was a real treat and just perfect!DSCN2732

We had so much fun at this show.  We really got a chance to step up our booth setup and work with some larger display pieces we normally don’t carry out to shows.  We enjoyed talking with people from multiple states who came in town exclusively for this show.  The other vendors made us feel like we were part of their family, they were incredibly welcoming and helpful.  All in all it was a wonderful experience and we literally can not wait for the next market which is this September 11 and 12.  For more information on Hobnob Market check out their website here.

Giveaway Time…

This giveaway is now closed but follow our Facebook and Twitter pages to never miss another one!

DSCN1265We love giveaways and so do our clients!  It had been awhile since our last one and with Spring just around the corner it was time for a new one.  This giveaway was an easy, fun one.  We tweeted and posted for our customers to respond back telling us what their favorite warm weather activity was.

We had lots of good entries and many made us want to run outside and do them right then.  Teri  Laney Swofford was chosen by random draw as the winner of this giveaway.  She told us she was looking forward to “laying on a float with a margarita” – we couldn’t agree more.

Teri won a set of 3 strawberry bath bombs and a set of 3 assorted lip chaps.  Watch for our next giveaway soon.

New Branding with Labels…

Posted on by

New labels frontIt seems like we have been working on our new branding and product labels forever, but its really been only a couple of months.  When we first launched Pure GRACE Soap we quickly developed a brand and look we liked, it worked well for us for a year until we were ready to add a more professional appearance.  We are lucky to live and work in a college town where there is  no shortage of talented artists.  We quickly found a wonderful local graphic artist who is about to graduate college with her degree and was more than happy to help us with our project.  We like to support local and small business just as you support us!!Orange Almond 1

Initially we knew what type of function we needed for the product labels and had some ideas of what we liked and what we wanted to keep from the old label but did not have a true design in mind.  Our graphic artist was able to present a few different ideas which we have massaged and worked over until we arrived at where we are now.

New labels backIt has been great seeing the design evolve.  M. GRACE and I both really like the new, clean, simple look and we hope our clients will too.  We have been releasing “sneak peek” looks at the labels as they are being finished on our Facebook page.

The new labels include stickers for the lip chaps, lotions, bath bombs, sugar scrubs, laundry detergents and deodorants.  All of the soaps will have a new round double sided paper label attached with pretty colored butchers twine.  The bags which are now available in two sizes have had a makeover and we have new little “enjoy” stickers which will be included on our shipped orders.  Even our wool dryer balls have a new look with special business cards which explain how to use them.  Perhaps our most exciting design element, however, is going to be part of the men’s line.  Watch for a new more masculine bird to roost on all of the men’s line products.  Look for the entire line of products to get their new labels in May.  Until then let us know what you think by leaving us a comment below.

Valentine’s Love, Hugs, Kisses and Product 2015….

Posted on by

DSCN1255Yay, February is here and that means we are that much more closer to Valentine’s Day.  At Pure GRACE Soap we love to celebrate love – whether it’s Valentine’s Day or just a random Tuesday….  With that in mind we have been working hard to create some special products we think our customers will love.

Strawberry Sugar Scrub… $9.50
Our Strawberry Scrub smells as good as it looks and contains real strawberries! Strawberries are extremely beneficial for the skin for many reasons including being an excellent skin cleaner, improving complexion, helping to tone skin and protection from UV light. They also exhibit fantastic anti aging properties, they help with the treatment of acne, diminish under-eye puffiness and help to repair damaged skin.

Sugar scrub is the most natural way to soften, exfoliate and to freshen up the skin. Sugars fine texture gently exfoliates the skin without leaving harmful residue that can clog the pores. Skin loving oils provide the moisturizing properties that prevents the skin from drying. Our custom recipes use only organic cane sugar and are our recommendation for the driest of skin.

Our sugar scrub is packaged in a heavy glass jar with lid. The scrub is labeled on the top with its name and on the bottom with its ingredients, weight and directions. Each scrub is tied with a pretty fabric tie.

DSCN1281Set of Three Coconut Bath Bombs… $5.00
This set of 3 bright white Coconut Bath Bombs smells like tropical heaven. The smell is bright and crisp like you just cracked open a fresh island coconut.

Take a moment for yourself and enjoy a long relaxing bath. Our bath bombs give your skin a tingly treat while the scent relaxes your cares and stresses away. Once the bomb dissolves you will be enveloped in delicious smelling oils and butters that will make your skin silky smooth and moisturized.

Set of Three Raspberry Bath Bombs… $5.00
This set of 3 Raspberry Bath Bombs not only smells like fresh picked raspberries but their eye catching pink color looks pretty too!

Each clear gift bag contains 3 extremely moisturizing bath bombs which are perfect for year round use but especially wonderful for dry and parched skin or for people with skin aliments. Each set is tied with a pretty fabric tie and labeled on the back of the bag.

DSCN1279Grab and Go Cake Batter Lotion Stick Mini and Two Strawberry Bath Bombs… $10.00
We created this gift set with the young lady in your life in mind.  The mini lotion stick is perfect for her purse or backpack and is scented with one of her favorite smells.  It will stay with her throughout her day and leave her skin smooth and moisturized – perfect for this harsh winter weather.

The two strawberry bath bombs will certainly make bath time that much more special.  Not only do they smell good enough to eat but will help to relax her cares away.
