Did you know?

…that our handcrafted soaps are made with lovely golden olive oil, gobs of cocoa butter and other skin loving oils for a rich, moisturizing lather with fragrance that lasts throughout the soap bar … skin yumminess! Most of our soaps are $5.00 each or 6/$25 (that’s buy 5, get 1 free!). The 6/$25 is honored in our shop, at shows & markets, through our website (even though the shopping cart doesn’t reflect it, we manually give you the savings!) and if you order via email. We have several scents to choose from so pick a pack and treat yourself.

Shopping for Baby

Buying baby gifts is a favorite shopping experience for me and we want to offer you a nice selection of beautiful baby gifts at Gladheart Acres. We have the locally made Krafts with Kare blankets and fleece beret-style hats (too cute!), our own baby soaps and baby butters in 3 scents, handmade washcloth puppets, ducky pouffies for the bath, silver inscribed baby spoons and of course, Bink Links. These are wooden pacifier chains that hook the all-important “binky” to baby’s clothing. We first discovered these when our own dear daughter Helayna was forever dropping her own binky…

Bink Links are stylish, safe and affordable!

Fireproof

Last night most of the children went to bed but Hannah wanted to stay up and watch a movie with Rick & I, above was her choice. I was reminded of what a wonderful choice it would make  to watch for Valentine’s Day so I thought I’d remind you too. Rick and I first saw Fireproof in October 2008 at the theater… it was the first time in 20 years that we had seen a movie in the theater…talk about a shock to the senses (!)… still not sure if I liked that but the popcorn sure was good! LOL… The car wreck scene in the movie always affects me… I get goose bumps, my stomach flips and I hold my breath. I am sure all those sensations are not helped by the fact that we will soon have 3 dear daughters driving… ack!

Disclaimer: Fireproof deals with a failing marriage & the issues surrounding it, we don’t let our younger kiddos watch it. Also be sure to  watch the “Fireproof in 60 Seconds” in the Fun Features section after watching the main movie. It’s a hoot.

Ah, it gives me a glad heart to be married to a good man.

Be My Valentine

Valentine’s Day is less than a week away… and the store is decked out in red, pink and sweetness. We have a wonderful selection of soaps, lotions, sugar scrubs and more bath bliss in stock as well as other lovely gifts.

AND all furniture is currently on sale at 15% off!

 

Winter Weather

The roads were a mess going to the shop this morning… snow was falling, wind was blowing and my window wiper was broken! It was a very slow, hard-to-see trip in. Hubby came later and replaced the wiper, the wind stopped and the snow plows plowed. The trip home was much more pleasant. We have about 6” of fresh snow…beautiful! Below is a favorite verse and a picture of our Alpaca display at the store. These items are here on consignment, all made with Alpaca fiber, some made locally and others brought in from a Peruvian women’s fair-trade co-op. All of it beautiful, soft and warm.

There is still plenty of winter weather left so bundle up!
