Christmas events and gift orders

Christmas is rapidly approaching now, and this means that we'll have reduced opening hours at our shops due to attending some Christmas Craft events. So we thought we should warn of the following closures:

Sunday 28th November - we'll be attending the Christmas Fayre at Hampton Manor in Hampton-in-Arden (for sat nav directions use postcode B92 0DQ).

Thursday 2nd to Monday 6th December - we'll be closed due to attending the Frost Fair at the National Trust's Attingham Park in Shropshire. The event runs between 3rd-5th December.

Internet orders will continue to be processed as normal. For Stourbridge customers, we've received lots of Christmas gift orders so it looks like we're going to be very busy in the coming weeks! Therefore we'll be closing our order book at the end of November, so there's just one more week to send in your order.

Red Cone Christmas Craft Fayre 20-21 November 2010

This coming weekend is the Red House Glass Cone's Christmas Craft Fayre. This marks the begining of the Christmas Festival, and Santa will soon be coming to the Cone each weekend in December.

So we'll be extending our opening hours in Studio 7 again (please refer to the opening hours on the right of this page), and will have a lovely range of natural skincare and goats milk soap Christmas gift hampers available to purchase or order in time for Christmas.

Please note, that this weekend we will not be opening our Ruskin shop.

Christmas is coming!

We've been a little quite on the blog in the last few week - it's because we've been so busy! We're settling into the Ruskin workshop very nicely, and visitors may well have noticed a certain Christmassy smell in the air. Yes, we've been blending our Christmas Spice essential oil blend again, and our natural Christmas decorations are now smelling wonderful and will be hung on the Christmas tree very soon!

So we've finally managed to upload some of our Christmas gift ideas onto the Natural Soapworks website. This year, we've expanded our range of naturally decorated recycled gift hampers - and they look very pretty without causing problems for the environment.

Mindful that times are still tough, we've also done everything we can to keep prices down so website customers will find a great range of hampers containing pretty hand decorated goats milk soap slices and botanical fizzing bath melts - all for under £10.

We're expecting the next few weeks to be very busy, as we prepare for a number of Christmas craft events. So website orders are currently being processed on a 2 day turnaround, and we will continue to post out hampers until the Christmas postal deadline is reached....or we run out of soap!!

Visitors to the Workshop, are advised to place their Christmas orders as soon as possible now - we're expecting to have to close our Stourbridge order book within the next week or so. We hope to see you soon!
