You might have notice a new banner that I have place over there on my sidebar, a banner for the soaps sold by Dominican Nuns of the Monastery of Our Lady of the Rosary in Summit NJ.
I would encourage you to go check out their website and most of all I would encourage you to check out their gift shop and make a few purchases. Because as you can see from their site, the good sisters are in the midst of raising funds for some very needed renovations and sales of these products are one way they they support themselves. They makes some very nice soaps, a very nice lotion, an excellent lip balm...and they have books! And I have bought them all, so I can attest to their quality...lol
You know, Christmas is coming before you know it and you know you are going to need some more stocking stuffers! Those samplers and gift crates make lovely gifts...and they really need to finish that new kitchen. Be sure to check out the photos...and then buy something!
We NJ folks have to stick together after all!
They are beautiful! I will definitely remember this when I'm doing the stuffer thing!
ReplyDeletebuy now...beat the rush...
ReplyDeleteor, but now, use them yourself, and have to buy more! ;-)
Eleanor Hamilton - A compliment is a gift, not to be thrown away carelessly, unless you want to hurt the giver.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great idea for Christmas. I like helping to support monasteries, covents and groups that make their own specialty products. The soaps come in some great scents and the lip balm and hand lotion sound fantastic, and the prices can't be beat!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the link and recommendation, Caite!
