Correction and Goat Soap


An astute reader notified me that I had left an ingredient 
off the list of the strata recipe I posted last week. 
See, that is why I cannot be trusted with posting recipes. 
Anyway add 3 cups milk. 
 I corrected the original.
Thanks Teri you are wonderful for telling me and for actually trying a recipe of mine. 
So much responsibility, scary.
Here's that  recipe post.

Now onto the pretty, pretty goat's milk soap. 
If you have never used goat soap do not let the price inhibit you as it is worth every dollar. 


Joe likes it too.


I think a bar or two would make a fine gift.
Some of these are scented and some are not.

I did not mean to snap this image above but I like it none the less.



I could not help but put an antique filter on that ironstone platter.
How about that cute goat on the soap above?

After fiddling with all these soaps I piled them into a cloche for Marty's next cloche party. 
Cloches are terribly difficult to photograph. 
If someone has figured out how to do it better please tell me.


Now I am off to my ironing board to iron vintage linens.
I consider that fun by the way.
I am a freak and know it.

  2. Patty, I bought it at a consignment store in middle Georgia and do not recall the name of it. Many goat soaps can be found on Etsy.

  3. I do use goat milk soap and love it. I always buy a bunch to tide me over till the following spring when its back in production.

    I love your antique looking filter you places on the pics.

    Hope your week is blessed.

  7. I picked up some goat soap from the Great Canadian Soap Company on Prince Edward Island. It was rather nice to actually meet the friendly goats! The designs on yours are so intricate.

  8. My mom liked to iron but I hate it. I think because I lack patience.

  15. I was wondering where you find goat soap. And not a freak - I like to vacuum which sounds much less enjoyable than ironing vintage linens. Ann

  22. I love good soap. Right now I've been using soap from a new little place I found in Orlando-Mindful Minerals (dead sea salt and mud). I blogged about it a while back. It isn't nearly as pretty as yours but I love how it feels. Your photos are wonderful and that soap is so gorgeous.

    As for taking cloche pictures...it is almost impossible. I always catch my reflection, or they look too dark. No answers here.

    I have a vintage giveaway on my blog you might like.

  23. Is it wrong if I want to eat the soap? They look so creamy.

    ReplyDelete
  24. I have never used goat soap, but I am going to look for some. Looks creamy and rich with emollients. Sounds like a commercial, doesn't it?
