Product Spotlight: Lavender Lace Goat Milk Soap - Athens, GA

Lavender: a unique and timeless fragrance loved by young and old alike.  This goat milk soap with lavender essential oil and "laced" with lavender buds has proven to be a favorite among my customers.  Last summer I had several requests for it at the Farmer's Market after I had sold my last bar.  Needless to say, I made my next batch as soon as possible.

Lavender, like most essential oils, has many beneficial properties.  It is anti-fungal, anti-depressant, calming, rejuvenating, and contains cell regenerating properties.  Lavender has long been in use, and for many provides a memory of someone they knew.  Similar to mothballs, dried lavender can be used to deter insects from stored clothing, but with a much pleasanter scent. 

Growing up, I was an avid reader (and still am if I find the time), and lavender always reminds me of the character Lavendar Lewis in Anne of Avonlea by Lucy M. Montgomery.  To find out why you will have to read the book, but as it says, "I think her parents gave her the only right and fitting name that could possibly be given her," said Anne.  "If they had been so blind as to name her Elizabeth or Nellie or Muriel she must have been called Lavendar just the same, I think.  It's so suggestive of sweetness and old-fashioned graces and 'silk attire.'" 

Right now sixteen bars of Lavender Lace Goat Milk Soap are available.  Most are in the goat kid mold, but it is also available in the doe, dog, bee & flower, and horse molds.  A companion lotion is available.
