Just finished this olive green baby alpaca fiber & sari silk fringed shawl/hip wrap and it is sold already...but I'm always open to doing commissions if you'd like one, too!

Shop us on your cell! :)
Some of you have kindly mentioned how our website does not show up well on your mobile phones...it does that weird over-lappage-texty thing that makes it impossible to read, let alone order! Well, we've just improved that annoyance! The site is now readable on your cell phones. Still tinkering with it, as it will never look exactly like it looks on a computer screen...but at least it's usable now! And thanks for sharing your concern and sorry for the previous inconvenience!
Should look more like this now...... and all of our domains will get ya there: carolochs.com,simplysoap.com, wildoaksart.com. enchantasies.com

New Year Changes!
Happy New Year!
We've had a bit of end-of-year down-time to think, rest, and decided some changes are afoot here at
#1 - We'll be paring down a bit how many of our handmade soaps we offer, but.....
offering a few more handcrafted soaps in our *Wylde* lines...to correspond with seasonal celebrations!
#2 - We plan to start offering on a trial basis (to see how they fly) some products we've long been getting requests for, will finally have available for you! Yep! We do listen to your requests! Sometimes it just takes some reorganizing to have the manpower to produce!
#3 - We are now offering our art *originals* for sale--they are being added to their own page, as we speak!
ALL of them....but here's just a wee sampling......
#4 - Be sure to check our Etsy Shop for finished handspun fiber items! We've got some cuddly warm handspun, handknit shawls and cute handbags for ya, perfect for this chilly season!
Sampling of what's available!.....
As always, in 2015 we'll be having our once-a-month free soap drawings (usually a $30 value)! Info announced at our Facebook Page. Be sure to "Like" our page there and "Get Notifications" to receive updates! Winners are always VERY HAPPY with their free soap! Could you be next?!?!?!?!

NOT a time of dying.....
Lyrics....
"...this is the season of dying
when the leaves turn crimson
it marks the cycles ending
and time for the living to die..." - Everdark
when the leaves turn crimson
it marks the cycles ending
and time for the living to die..." - Everdark
Funny, ...I hear lyrics like these and other dying season songs and they make no sense to me. I think of SUMMER as the season of dying; everything hot, dry, burnt-up here in Southern California. Summer marks our season of wildfires, fear of destruction as experienced in 2003 & 2007, every cracking twig synonymous with the striking of a match. Each hot new day, one to be gotten through, zapping all physical and mental energy with the pouring out of sweat, till finally, finally....the blessed nip of autumn breezes come and breathe life anew, like a soothing energy bath washing over you.
For me.....cool = new life. Every tree and falling leaf whispers to me, spirits jump out of all corners, creativity is at it's most vibrant! Life feels more fully lived each day, mental clarity somehow more crackly!
Autumn is when life begins........
