"Pick a petal from this dish Rub your hands together Make a wish Swish under running water Throw petal away May your wish Come true today"

Have you ever thought about washing your hands with a flower petal? No?
Well it can be done. Just use one of the petals in our silken soap petal
arrangements that we carefully prepare. Here's an example of one of
them:
Our Specialty, Silken Soap Petals
|
Each silken flower petal is individually triple hand-dipped
in our clear glycerin soap of the highest quality to
which we add our very own blend of natural
essential oils.
All you do is pick a petal, and wash your hands with it
under warm running water. When you are done, just throw
the used petal away or add it to your potpourri dish. Each
petal is meant for a one-time use( but of course, no one will
blame you if you use it twice. (After all, we do use a lot of
soap to cover it). Our soap petals are totally fuss and mess
free! And hygienic! However, the aroma from the petal
lingers to fragrance both your hands and the room.
Drawing moisture from the air is one's of glycerin's most
important properties;it helps keep skin supple.The glycerin
soap which covers your petals does this, o of course. So
these silken petals may have a tendency to whiten over a
while because of the added moisture content they take on
as time goes by since they will be exposed to the ambient
atmosphere of a bathroom.
Of course they are still good to use but you may think
they are not quite as pretty. So, although you may want to
keep them as a decoration (and we sure do understand ),
these petals are really meant to be used within a month
or so if you wish to avoid any discolouration.
These petals are a lovely finishing touch for a bathroom or a
powder room. And what a thoughtful small present! You can
offer them as hostess gifts, "Thank you's" to teachers, as a "Get Well "
thought to friends in hospital.you worth You can give them for
absolutely no reason at all except to say "I'm
thinking of you". But most of all we suggest that YOU
give them to YOURSELF. A tiny indulgence, a
simple delight. Aren't you worth it? Of course you are!
Please remember that, as these are hand crafted, no two
arrangements will look exactly alike. But each one will look
great. And smell good.Of course, if you love these petals
but do not wish for any fragrance,do not let that hold you
back. Let us know your preference for unscented petals. We
understand your wish and can easily accommodate you.
Remember one of our mantras: "Non Scents make sense too"
At certain times of the year we sometimes add to our petal collection.
For instance, for Valentine's Day we offer special red roses, in spring we
sometimes offer tulips,on Mother's Day, something special, in fall we offer
small autumn leaves, at Christmas time, poinsettias of various colours,
white, pink, silver, gold and RED of course.
Please don't be shy about contacting us with your specific requests. We'll be
happy to tell you what we have and/or what we can do at any particular
time. If we do not have exactly what you want and you are not in a great
rush, give us a short lead time. We may just be able to provide you with
the colour of petals of your choice within a few days. An email or phone
call will do. We'll tell you what we can do and when.
We offer our hand dipped petals in containers which vary from
time to time. Now let's be straight about this. We do not
make the containers; we purchase them. (We buy our silken
petals too and attempt to buy petals with shadings because
we find they are prettier).We cannot guarantee that a
There is a ladies' gym and a hairdressing salon which keep a petal
arrangement in their rest rooms; there are restaurants in the Ottawa
Valley, in the Laurentians and in Banff who will not use anything but our
silken soap petals in their powder rooms. There is even a golf course and a
seniors' residence who feel that our petals are great for their gusts.
Apparently, they help attract and keep patrons as they show the attention
the owner pays to detail. And not to forget; they look good, they smell good
and they don't create a mess.
Some gift shops and boutiques have approached us offering to
display our silken soap petals there. They would love to be able
to offer them to their customers. Problem is, this type of
business usually works on a consignment basis. Since we have a
real thing about only offering the freshest of products and
would not be able to maintain control, we have refused. So you
will not find our silken soap petals for sale anywhere else but on
this site, at our shows,and at home. There are exceptions:
some shops have bought, and continue to buy, our products.
What they do with them afterwards is up to them....except we
know that one tea shop keeps reordering as does a yarn shop.
So someone out there likes us! We are delighted that others
enjoy and are delighted by our silken soap petals. Because we
want to sell a top quality product that we hand make in small
batches and of which we are very we have no plans of going big.
As elegant and as upscale as our silken soap petals look, we have priced
them to be totally affordable.Even their price will delight you.
Then we hang them up to dry, one by one. Afterwards, we
place them in an attractive container and arrange the
petals to resemble a flower. They are then ready for your
own use or for gifting.
We want as many people as possible to use
our silken soap petals and enjoy them. So

They have even become a decorating item
with people buying the petals to match their
decor.
specific container is available at any one time as we do not carry large
amounts preferring to vary them. You see, although we do offer petal refills,
we have found out over time that most of our return clients simply prefer to
purchase a totally new arrangement which usually implies a new container.

metal and, sometimes, wooden containers. Let us know your preference and
we'll see what we can do.
We wrap each of our arrangements in a bag,and tie
them with a ribbon, suitable for immediate gifting.
