Leslie offers these butterflies and hearts in large quantities
for favors but, she needs time to create so book early.
I discovered Leslie because The Log Chateau discovered me.
She put our work together in an Etsy Treasury called "Sea Dreams"
featuring Leslie's colorful "Spa Shell" soaps and my "By the Sea" ribbon.
(see photos with orange frames around them)
I was so taken by the color and detail of the shell soaps I wrote to Leslie
shortly after the Treasury was posted asking if she had
another set. I didn't want them to removed too quickly
yet, at the same time simply had to have them.
You know how that is don't you?
Here they are in a larger view.
Leslie wrote me back right away. "No problem, I have more.".
Years ago I made soap, scrubs, and balms
and a little boutique sold them.

Mine were nothing like these.
I had no idea I would turn into some sort of stalker
viewing her bathing confections.
Poor dear.

I just kept looking and reading.
The pink bow in the upper right is also made of soap.
I was "sea struck" with these adorable little ships.
It has been a dream of mine to have horses, note I didn't say a horse.
I think horses are magnificent creatures.
I love to drive by horse farms hoping to catch a glimpse.
So when I saw this,
and this
I was intrigued. They were a little out of place among angel wings
hearts, butterflies, and shells.
Until I clicked on Leslie of Satin and Birch's descriptions and profile.
You see Leslie is an animal lover and in some of her own words
"If I could dedicate my life to animals I would.
I'm the nut who stays awake at night when the
weather is bad worrying that the Animals have shelter."
(Sounds familiar)
She used to be a "beach girl" but relocated to where the wild horses roam.
"They roam around the foothills with grace and humility
and respect for their surroundings."
(I couldn't have said it better)
Now I was completely smitten not just with her work,
but that she memorializes the great American Wild Mustang.
That said; these Easter Eggs are great little hostess gift.
I would welcome this fresh white soap any time.
Roses for Mother's Day or send some to yourself.
Did I mention all of Leslie's soaps arrive packaged for gift giving?
Go ahead and treat yourself

The fine yet, required print. This is not a paid endorsement or advertisement. I approached Leslie asking if she would mind if I wrote a post and used her photos. Sometimes, I see the creations of others, and simply choose to celebrate and share their work. If it brings them a sale, great. I'm happy. My intent is to bring them a smile for seeing their work shown and talked about someplace else.
