Inspiration
Thanks for having a look at the first ever Calabash Handmade blog, written by
Sharron Hardy Owner/Creator - Calabash Handmade (Soap and Shea Butter).
Firstly I want to “big up” Stephanie who is responsible for collaborating with me, putting up with my (near obsessive) fussing and creating for me, a new, beautiful website. Thank you Stephanie, I’m sure everyone who sees the site will agree you did a fantastic job!
It’s been three years since I first stirred my soap making pot, inspired by memories of my parents’ Garden of Eden homeland, the Caribbean island of Dominica, its forests, mountains and gardens, watered by 365 rivers and streams, so fertile that a walking stick would sprout leaves if you left it too long in the ground.
As I developed my cold process soap making skills, I mimicked those familiar delicious, warm tropical scents and fragrances in my formulas and after a lot of trial and error and extensive research I managed to create my own totally natural handmade soap range which include, amongst others, fragrances such as:
Caribbean Bay Rum Handmade Soap, West Indian Lemongrass & Marigold Handmade Soap, Cinnamon & Sweet Orange Handmade Soap, Lime & Avocado Handmade Soap etc.
Next time I'll tell you how I came up with the name "Calabash". Until then take care.
Sharron
