It's Official!

Well it is finally official. We are opening our first retail store! Yep, lots of excitement here. For those of you who live in Brisbane we hope to see you all once we open and if you can make if for opening day we have a party planned with specials, freebies and nibblies!

It is only a small shop, but we are taking it on for just 6 months to start with then we plan (and hope) to move to something bigger with facilities to manufacture our products on site.

It is not something I thought would happen for another 2 years but the opportunity arose and we grabbed it with both hands. A dream come true - a soap packed full of handmade soap!

Here is a photo of the shop from the outside looking in. The walls will be painted green and white and we are lucky enough to have a newly tiled floor. I promise to update you very shortly with progress reports and photos of course. Opening date is planned for the last week of this month so we are going to be full steam ahead next week.

The shop is located in Cleveland, which is in Redland City Council about 35 mins SE of Brisbane CBD.
