Soaps

I really must be turning into an old lady, because now I'm lusting after these gorgeous soaps. Saipua is a family-owned business in the Hudson Valley, and they make olive-oil-based soaps. What lovely packaging, don't you think?

  1. If you're an old lady, I am right there with ya at 28! I LOVE a great soap...the prettier the packaging, the better! The olive oil base is so wonderful on your skin...like a baby's bottom!

  3. I wouldn't want to open these -- the're too pretty! So, I'm THAT old lady... the one with all the stuff that she doesn't use - unlit candles, soaps that never come out of their packages, pretty stationary that doesn't get mailed.

  21. Look at that incredible packaging. The clean graphics and the map wrapping paper and then the adorable little sack. I have added you to my blog list so my midwestern readers get to know your great style. xo Joan

  23. Soap is an old lady thing? Then I must be 31 going on 101! Since I was in my teens I have thought the 'perfect' house would have a sink in every room. More sinks = more soap. You don't really need a sink in every room, but this is my dream house.
    I heart soap. All kinds. I have a bit of a collection!

  24. I love the packaging! And, for some reason, I think I've heard of this company. Will have to look into it. They would make great presents for overnight guests.

    ReplyDelete

  25. Those would be a great gift!

    ReplyDelete

  30. There not only gorgeous in their packaging, but they smell divine!

  31. Are they wrapped in vintage maps? How clever, love that idea!

    Hmm...I wonder if I could wrap some things around my house in vintage ephemera to make it look more appealing.

  32. Of course you're not an old lady, but a very stylish bride-to-be, ready to "nest". I love the packaging of these beautiful soaps!

    ReplyDelete

  33. I got these soaps at LA's awesome shop Reform School, and if you think the packaging looks pretty (which oh yes it is!), then just wait until you try the soap.

    The saltwater soap (with the whale!) is my favorite.

    ReplyDelete

  34. The packaging is lovely and the combination of ingredients must make for the most divine scents. The word "saipua" means soap in Finnish.

    ReplyDelete

  35. Must you tempt me like this? That saltwater soap is almost more than my poor heart can handle.

    ReplyDelete

  36. Is it made with saltwater? Or is that just the name?

    ReplyDelete

  37. clary sage with patchouli and dill is the best. I'm going out of town tomorrow, and I am so excited about the new soap I might discover.

    ReplyDelete

  38. They sell them at select Anthropololgies. I know they can be found at Rockefeller Center.

  44. those packages are great. there's a store here in memphis called Shara's Paperie that sells soaps that you can order engraved with an intial or name....they smell soooo good and make a great gift! The store just launched a new line called Confections (confectionsbysharaspaperie.com) that sells perosnalized plates/bowls that I love too! i just love personalization. :)

    " allstate home insurance "

    " progressive home insurance "


    Excellent information and facts. Only real difficulty I was basically receiving was viewing the pics. No idea exactly why.

    I agree, for the most part, but don’t you feel as if the issue is more complex than that?
