meltem soap
Posted on | October 20, 2009 | 17 Comments
this soap was made for meltem’s wedding bonbonieres.
she has such a beautiful and evocative name!
meltem are the strong, dry north winds of the aegean sea, which blow from about mid-may to mid-september. during hot summer days, this is by far the most preferred weather type and is considered a blessing.
doesn’t that just make you feel all blue seas and long warm days and the scent of rosemary and lemons on the rocky hillsides?
so, i wanted to create a soap that was summery and pretty and mediterranean, and here it is:
it contains: silk, honey, green tea, lavender, calendula, rose petals, mineral oxides plus an essential oil blend of lemon/rosemary/lavender/patchouli/petitgrain/may chang/orange.

OMG Patti, they are totally gorgeous and what wonderful inspiration you wove in to it. That will most definitely be a memorable gift on their wedding day.
How delightful!

Finally her day is nearing and the ‘Meltum’ soap we’ve all heard about is here. What a gorgeous unique gift for guests to remember Mel & Peters special day.
