If you are looking for pine tar soap, I realize the site does not have too many available at this moment. I am waiting on a freight delivery of pine tar and it's taking longer than I ever thought. As soon as it arrives, I'll be making up more of all of the pine tar varieties. So look for about a month from now for your favorites. If I can pick up a small quantity in the mean time - I have to like the brand as not just any pine tar will work for me - then I will whip up some and let you all know.
My pallet of lard arrived just fine so all of the Traditional, Basic and scented country soaps should be restocked.
It's been a crazy summer and I have very much appreciated all the support from everyone keeping me busy here at MoSoap.com There have been a few problems with ingredients - namely my beloved pine tar! I haven't been able to order the style I am use to from the company I have always used for near 15 years. So I am behind on pine tar soaps, never a good thing. While I only had to refund 2 orders, I am currently out of pine tar so I will be waiting for my shipment.
I figured it's just easier to put all the products out of stock than have just a few and people asking for pine tar.
Also the website email system is acting up and emails aren't received by people and it's saying all sorts of error messages to me when I go to send. Why it suddenly changed, I'm not sure but that needs to be addressed.
So, I'm going to take some time off and will return Sept. 7th. We will just start this party in the fall again. Hope to see you then!
Thank you all again for your patience with missing boxes and slow shipping. Never in my 22 years of soap making have I had so many order and they were mostly 3 items in particular, Traditional, and the 2 different salves I made. I ran out of jars, there wasn’t enough clover yet blooming on the hillside so I had to order red clover, it was just crazy town. But with that being said, I will have all remaining orders out by tomorrow August 3rd.
The missing boxes threw me as I had given them to a friend to drop off just 3 blocks away. Well, after replacing the orders I have learned my dear friend had a “moment” and forgot they were in her trunk. While we laughed, I understand people being unhappy with the delay of me replacing what was never shipped. At least they were not stolen!
Anyway, thanks as always to all you wonderful soap people! I do appreciate each and every one of you for your kindness.
MoSoap customers are the best! You all truly support small business and handmade goods, and I GREATLY APPRECIATE IT!!!
I am unsure of the cause for the sudden increase in orders for MoSoap goodies, but it has resulted in a delay in shipping. Since it's just one person making and shipping everything, I am running behind. Please accept my sincerest apologies for any inconvenience caused. I appreciate your orders and will prioritize having them shipped as promptly as possible.
While the Midwest is being hit with storms and possible tornadoes, Shanda and I are off to Jefferson City, Missouri to display our products at the Buy Missouri Event at the State Capital.
If you are in the Jeff City area on Wednesday, April 13th, stop in and see us along with some of the best Missouri made products around! The Buy Missouri program is a free promotional program by the State to help businesses and spread the word. We have been involved since the beginning and are happy to return again. This will be the first time we have brought MoSoap products along with our Arcadia Valley Soap Co. line so it should be fun to promote both. People always think it's another soapmaker but it's just me doing what my grandmother taught me some 50 years later....that is a long time!
Shanda's mom is covering the shop for us but we will be back on Thursday.
Thank you all so much for choosing to shop online here at MoSoap.com or coming into our shop in Ironton, Missouri this holiday season. It certainly didn't turn out like I expected as we made it to Thanksgiving, decorated, had our Open House and then boom.....Shanda and I both became exposed to CoVID and we had to close the store. While we are once again back and healthy, I'm just not as fast right now as I use to be but I am getting better. As I type, my lye water is cooling and the lard is melting as I am back to soaping while the shop is closed.
I hope to have all the orders out by tomorrow, Dec. 29th and I can't thank everyone for their patience. I think most of you know that have dealt with me over the years is that I'm not the fastest at shipping. I still always think I have enough soap in stock, and then a tour bus comes to the soap store, and we are deleted. It's a 3 week process to get soap back on the shelf. For 2022, I will be trying to link the inventory for online and the shop better but since we have the 2 websites (MoSoap.com and ArcadiaValleySoap.com) I can only link one.
Again, thanks so much for sticking with me throughout the years - 2021 was my 20th Anniversary online and making soap in Missouri. It came and went without much fanfare as I was just too busy making soap and fixing buildings. Maybe I'll do something fun for my 25th soapmaking party!
Thank you for stopping in to check out our soaps! Unfortunately, I have had to close the online store and our physical store in Ironton until mid July or August. My mother has been diagnosed with late stage cancer. I have gone to the Denver area to take care of her. I am expecting to return and be back open at the end of summer.
All orders have been cancelled and I believe I have refunded everyone's money. If I missed someone, please let me know and I will refund your money right away.
Thanks for your patience and hope to see you later in August.
2015 has certainly started off with some excitement in my soapmaking life. How is yours going so far?
Welcome to our new website here at MoSoap.com I'm building as I type so bare with me please. After 11 years with Yahoo Small Business, my site suddenly disappeared. I changed nothing, didn't move the DNS or servers and boom - it and all my email was gone. So I have spent the last 2 weeks working on trying to get it back and Yahoo informed me they didn't know why and to hire someone. I did nothing and after 11 years of paying them with rarely an issue, I thought they could have double checked for me but no. So, I'm taking my little site and moving it to Shopify now. Seems easy enough and it has some features I didn't have with Yahoo, so all things work for good!
The soap shop in Ironton is working out well. My wonderful in-store customers have been amazing and extremely supportive of my soap business. The back of the shop is still under construction but I had the front part open for the winter holidays. Now that Valentines is here, I think I'll just work Friday and Saturdays over there and focus on the web orders all the other days. I still make soap in the Hotel but hopefully I'll have the back of the shop finished by April and be over there full time.
I just wanted to say thank you to everyone that has stuck by me, called or ordered while the site was missing.
