Topanga Photo Essay - Sneak Peak


This shot of the Topanga Creek bridge is from my 2014 Catalog & Photo Essay (under construction). The essay will feature images taken in and around Topanga, along with descriptions of each of my formulas. It's a lot of work getting these medium-format film images processed and scanned, but I think the results will be worth it!

Wardrobe Infuser


Bill Trench at Kitchawan Woodcraft sent us a box of Apple, Cherry, Walnut and Maple wood turnings (a byproduct of his amazing creations), and asked how we could use them. I came up with this nifty brass/wood device (we're calling it the "wardrobe infuser") that holds the turnings, now infused with our fragrance (#8 Sweetgrass, in this case). We tossed it in a dresser to test it out. I'm hopeful this prototype will be the start of another unique product in our line!
