I would like to introduce you to Main Street Trolley Flowers & Gifts Shop.  Marysue, the owner, carries a wide range of local artists wares, such as candles, jewelry, clothing, and of course, bath & body products such as our artisan crafted soaps, body polishes, and dry oil body sprays!

They are located in the historic trolley barn next to H.C. Summers in Jefferson, Maryland.  This is a a wonderful place to meet & enjoy the rich history where people once bought their tickets and waited for the local trolley.  Now, it is a place people can enjoy arts and develop friendships.  And with Marysue's (referred to as the Conductor, how cute is that?!) cheerful personality, you will feel most welcome in such a beautiful atmosphere.

So, if you are in Jefferson, Maryland, definitely take the time to visit this wonderful store!
Until next time...

Because of you I'm here, so tell me what you want to hear!  And, always remember:
You can control the dirt that lands on you, but you can clean it with something beautiful.

Our next fabulous retailer is The Green Doors located in Snow Hill, MD and truly is an eye-catching store for unloading creativity! 

Below is a quote from their website, which you can find here (psst, they have an online store too! yay!).

It pretty much sums up nicely the cool things they offer!  I know if I was visiting as a tourist in the area, I'd definitely want to take a class!

"When you enter The Green Doors you will find custom hand painted vintage furniture and home goods as well  as jewelry and other handcrafted items. We are a Stockist for Chalk Paint® decorative paint by Annie Sloan and a certified Miss Mustard Seed Milk Paint Retailer where you can take a workshop and learn all about Chalk Paint® or Milk Paint as well as buy the paints, waxes and all other supplies to create your own masterpiece."


The Green Doors carries our fabulous artisan crafted soaps, body creams, & body polishes, as well as some lip balm flavors.  I sure do hope her customers enjoy these luxury handmade items as much as we do around here!  Please go give her a follow on Instagram & a "like" on Facebook, you just may get a spark of creativity to livin' up an old piece of beloved furniture you have around!  Until next time...

With continuing my July series on our fabulous retailers, I want to introduce you to Southern Charm in Charles Town, WV.  Talk about an adorable store!  Mrs. Christy, the owner, always brings a taste of southern hospitality in this upscale-affordable store.  She carries a multitude of Jodi's Soapbox products, with our artisan crafted soaps being a hit!

There is something for everyone here, from new straight from the manufacturer to gently used consignments, like this Michael Kors bag hanging beside a Kate Spade bag!  Whaaa?!

Southern Charm carries lots of local artists wares & products, such as Niffer's All Natural Products, Misty Blue Candles, & lots of awesome pieces of jewelry.  With the welcoming decoration & high-class style, you may never want to leave!  Check her Facebook page out here & give her a "like".  You may also find Southern Charms info here, just scroll down the page some.

Until next time...

For the month of July, I want to take the time in a series of blog posts to thank our retailers who carry our awesome products.  I love developing partnerships in business!  Along the way, I have met, worked with, & currently am working with some pretty cool entrepreneur peeps.  

These posts are also for you lovely customers.  You know I can not be set up everywhere (wish I could!) so definitely bookmark these upcoming blog posts!  You can also find a whole short list of retailers here.  If you are local to any of these storefronts, please give them a visit & get some of our skin-loving artisan crafted products too!  Win-win!

We are currently blessed to be found in six storefronts and two bed and breakfasts.  Since it is beginning summer & people are vacationing, I would like to introduce our bed and breakfast friends first.  If you are looking for a quiet, pampering weekend get-away, they have you covered!

Faith Like a Mustard Seed Farm, in Lucketts VA, is a charming family to work with!  I have the pleasure to vend alongside of them @ Purcellville Community Market and they are always cooking up some of their awesome pork on their Big Green Egg.  

The Gleaser family not only have culinary expertise, but a beautiful 26 acre farm.  Quoted from their website:

"Less than 30 minutes from the Dulles Greenway, Faith like a Mustard Seed Farm provides an escape from the fast pace of modern society, back to a time of hand crafted simplicity and real flavors. "

Part of their hand crafted simplicity they give to their guests are our beautiful, artisan crafted favor size soaps!  Interested in knowing more?  Follow this link & schedule your stay today, or visit them (and us!) @ Purcellville Community Market on Saturdays 9am-1pm.

Join me again soon and find out about Stony Ridge Farm's AirBnb!  In the meantime...

<-----See that water hose?  Kinked, right?  Yep, that is how I feel this week!  Been doing tons of education and my brain is going in all kinds of directions, woah.

So, what am I working on?  Lots, lots, & lots more.  I think if you hang with me for the ride, you will love it!

First off, most of you, my lovely fans & followers, know I've gone through a "face-lift" of my brand.  It has been so exciting to do!  Once the kinks are straightened out, I'm thinking of having a HUGE "face-lift" launch.  What do you think?  What are some incentives you would like to be offered just for a GRAND re-opening launch?  So much to think about there!

Product wise, I am working mainly on restocking our fabulous soaps, body creams, body polishes, & our dry-oil body sprays.  And I must say, settling on two summer limited edition scents for 2014 has been hard!  But, Sweet Meyer Lemon and Sweet Orange & Chili Pepper are the winners this year & you can expect them uploaded on the website soon!

Along with making awesome products, I am learning more and more about entrepreneurship and how to make my business benefit you.  I have joined the Pinterest bandwagon and welcome you to join for the ride!  Below is the link and please give me a follow.  I plan on doing contests, tutorials, videos & so much more to give you the ultimate Jodi's Soapbox experience.

As well as working Pinterest, I'm working on weekly newsletters, blog post ideas & content, and increasing your Facebook experience on my page.  Now, say that three times fast! 

Please, if you have anything you would like me to blog about and share, leave comments below and let me know!
