Open House Saturday and Sunday, September 11 and 12. COME SEE US

We are so excited to finally have the shop open for visitors. We hope you stop by to see us, smell our new soy candles, sample our naturally scented sugar scrubs and lotions, see our new line of room sprays and carpet powders, try our clay masks on the back of your hand so you can feel the difference in your skin and more fun things.

Meeting you is the best part for us! We are really looking forward to it. You can meet my summer helper (my son, Dawson), my soap mold maker and soapmaker (my dad), and the man who puts up with all my new ideas and helping load, unload, and set up my craft fair displays (my husband)!

Each person who visits us will get one raffle ticket that will go into our drawings for free Chamomile Cottage Products. AND for each $10.00 in products you purchase Saturday and Sunday, you will get an extra raffle ticket to win more products. We also plan to offer you some cookies and lemonade.

Here is a list of our current Spring (limited number of Soy Candles from the Spring Line) and Summer Candle Scents that we also make in our NEW matching Room Spray and Carpet Powder.

Change Can Be Good

Change can be strange and scary for some of us, however, I have tried to embrace changes for what they are, something different, something new, something to look forward to, and something to work at. I have been in many situations in my career and personal life when changes have happened, some were simple, some were drastic.

Chamomile Cottage has been going through some changes, our shop is under construction, our product lines are being changed and added to, we are launching new lines of business under Chamomile Cottage and we are looking forward to making necessary business changes on a regular basis for the good of our customers, our business, and ourselves.

We are planning an Open House, date yet to be determined, based on the compeletion and certification of our construction. We are hoping to hold the Open House the weekend after Labor Day, however, that may change. (CHANGE ;o)

Please stay tuned for updates on this fun day.

Easter and Mothers' Day Gifts Arriving Online Soon

We are very excited about Spring arriving here in S. Jersey. We are expecting a nice snow storm this weekend, a blizzard, actually.

I love the snow, but hate that people may have to drive in it for work or other reasons. I hope people can stay home where it's safe. In December when we had a large snow storm (we had three feet in less than 24 hrs). Few people were driving on our roads, thank goodness. I hope to walk down the street and around the corner to take my son sledding on the hill behind the school.

So, we are busy making all our Easter and Mothers' Day products for your Gift Set orders. Please order early, our naturally scented Lavender sets are the first to sell out along with Lemongrass. Two incredible scents and we use only plant essential oils that are distilled with water using leaves, bark, flowers, stems, berries, fruit, or roots of a plant.

The distillaiton process yields a very concentrated oil that is the Essence of the plant itself. Many plants such as blueberries, strawberries, grapes, etc, do not have a usable/therapuetic essence. There are MANY natural plant essential oils that can be used for soap, lotions, bath, and skincare and with so many to choose from, blending them is an art form in itself. Because Essential Oils are all natural, they can have a different aroma due to annual growing conditions (amount of water, sun, sea air, etc), mineral content of soil, and methods of the farmer or landscape for wildcrafted plants. Lavender Essential Oil grown in Oregon has a very different aroma than the same species being grown in Provence, France.

Please keep your eyes and ears open for our Easter and Mothers' Day Gift Sets. They will be packaged and photographed in the next couple of weeks and then posted online for you to, "Ooo", and, "Ahh" over and then ORDER for yourself, family, friends, bosses, secretaries, mothers, aunts, grandparents, teachers, coaches, tutors.....

We are also sponsoring a CONTEST. We need your help to name our new Organic Baby Bodycare Product Line. Please email us or post your ideas here.
