THISTLEWOOD MANOR SOAP

When the going gets tough....

  Usually at this time of year I'm very busy making soap and getting ready for shows and SCA events each weekend.  November and December are the months I make over half of my sales each year.  Of course, with Covid, all of my usual events have cancelled or postponed indefinitely.  However, as the saying goes, when the going gets tough, the tough get going and that is exactly what I plan to do!

I have two other venues for sales right now.  If you are reading this, you are probably aware of my website and that is a great way to buy!  I try to accommodate any needs you may have, even including gift notes if you request them. I mail all over the US and can probably mail to other countries if you contact me with your needs and I can figure out the postage. 

​ The other venue is my shop.  It's tiny, but I do have a small porch where all my soaps and beard products are displayed for sale.  Beginning November 21st (Black Friday), the shop will be open from 2-6 pm daily, and by appointment through December 24.  To make an appointment just text 641-456-8953.  The shop is limited to 3 people who come together, or 1 at a time and everyone must wear a mask.  I do take credit cards, checks, cash or paypal.

The shop is located right on highway 65, 2 miles south of Collins, IA. on the east side.  There is a sign hanging on the mailbox and will soon be signs on the road side.  The porch entrance is at the front of the house facing the road, you can't miss the bright red door!  If no one is in the shop just ring the doorbell and someone (usually me, Deb) will come and help you.  During shop hours the store is heated and very comfortable.

Right now I am busy decorating for Christmas and on November 21st, black Friday , I will be having a special sale day and free hot cider from Center Grove Orchard!  Please stop by on your way to/from the sales in the Big City!  I'll be posting more pictures after I get it all set up!

    I started making soap about 10 years ago, and began selling 7 years ago after perfecting my recipes.  This is where I will share extra information and ideas.
