Introduction

'Country Lavender' was created by Wanda Pirson, our first Canadian swap winner. Wanda's lavender soap wooed even the anti-lavender gal we have around the warehouse (Tina). I absolutely loved the way the crinkle-cut soap looked in the purple wrap and the navy tie. I think Lavender soaps should be a requirement for every bathroom owner.
