The Official Blog of Sailor Mouth Soaps

I'm very excited to announce that this Christmas you will be able to find Sailor Mouth Soap goodies among other amazing local handmade products at a unique pop-up-shop at the  Mount Ommaney Centre  just off the Centenary Motorway. It's run by the lovely ladies at  Collective Avenue  and is open full trading hours for the shopping centre, plus they have loads of parking! You know how hard parking is at Christmas time huh. As a special treat, a lot of the products available will be totally new to the range! I won't give too much away but suffice to say, my love and obsession with animals features quite a bit. Stay tuned on  Facebook  for sneak peeks of new stock going in and as the shop launches, pictures of the stall too.

That's right, I know I've been saying that Aussie order cut off is from the 11th December but now I've had to push it back to Saturday the 8th as we've bought a new house and need to start packing asap. What a crazy time of year to do it but we found the perfect house so it is what it is :D At this stage I'm not sure when I'll be back in January, there sure is a lot to do when buying & moving into a new house so I'm not going to lock myself into a time frame I can't keep up with. Thanks for understanding! And remember, please submit any final orders by Saturday 8th December or you will miss out. Thanks!!!!

In the spirit of perfect timing, my poor computer has decided to self destruct and kill it's own hard drive. I'm reminded of the scene in  The Young Ones  where Neil tries to tell the kettle, who just had a break down (ie, it exploded) that if he was feeling the pressure, he could have talked about it, instead of killing itself :P I took it to the repair place yesterday so hopefully by Friday, I'll be back to normal and off this little laptop! Thankfully, all of the data was backed up (phew), almost a terabyte of it. Woah Nelly! I'm not expecting the computer problems to interfere too much with orders but please bare with me if my replies take a little longer than usual as I am still working a full time day job as well. Sailor Mouth Soaps isn't taking a Christmas break this year so regardless of when you place your order, I'll make it from scratch and post to you asap <3 That isn't to say it will definately arrive in time for Christmas, depending o...

I'm not one for large crowds, period. Add shoppers Christmas fever into the mix and I'll run away screaming for the hills! Being an online shopper myself, I intend to do a large amount of my gift buying online to save time, money (and sanity). Since I like to buy local wherever possible, my first point of call is usually BrisStyle . I'm a member of this group which is for Etsy sellers in Brisbane and the surrounding areas. They put out regular gift guides that make it super easy to find something special for your friends and family. Buying from mico-businesses makes me happy, being one myself I understand how exciting it is to see an order come through! I'm also a sucker for adorable home wares & jewellery.
