Collection: The Nutcracker

 

I still remember the first time I saw it. I was a very small girl and my grandmother took me, all dressed up in my very ruffliest of ruffled dresses. I am sure my mom put my hair in long ringlets, because that was how we did it way back in the 1900s! But curls or no-curls, the Nutcracker was definitely my first experience with live ballet and filled me with wide-eyed wonder. 

 

Ever since that evening the beauty of the music and the dazzling colors and pageantry of the Nutcracker have been inextricably linked to Christmas for me.

So this year I have had great fun dreaming up lovely soaps that capture a bit of the heart and the magic of Clara's beautiful dream.

Welcome to Chipmunks and Daisies

 

The struggle is real. In this fast-paced world there is always another thing to do. You are longing for something that slows you down, makes you linger in the moment, brings you joy, connects you with nature, and calls out to your soul. 

Life is stressful and busy. My goal is to help you slow down, to feel the joy that flits through our souls when we stop to appreciate the beauty and abundance that surrounds us.
