May 2008 Newsletter
Greetings everyone,
We are going to keep May's newsletter short and sweet as things are absolutely buzzing for us at the moment! Please read on though as we have some specials going on this month, our April giveaway to announce and as usual, some bits of exciting news to share.
News/Events
There are now four of us... Monica, Samantha and Marketa have welcomed Charmaine into our growing little family. Charmaine is our neighbor, has recently turned 16 and eager to gain some work experience. We are very happy to have her!
We have just received our first order from Amnesty International. Known the world over for its important human rights work, needless to say, we are very excited to be working with them.
Oxfam has already placed their Autumn/Winter 2008 order so there is no shortage of work to be done! It is the largest order we have received to date so lots of planning, organising and scope for new equipment...all we can say is WOW!
We have just submitted our IFAT application. Many of you will be pleased to hear this. It has been a long process and not easy to do with everything moving 100 miles per hour, but it has finally been turned in and we anticipate official membership shortly. Monica now has the Soil Association application staring her in the face so its on to that next, we guess!
We will be announcing two new products in our June newsletter, so do stay tuned...
And lastly, we are also busy preparing ourselves for a visit from Stolichnaya Trading Company towards the end of this month. They operate Globus Gourmet, an ever expanding chain of high end shops throughout Russia. They are sending a team of their best sales assistants to learn more about us and our products. We have worked with them for some time now and see this as a great opportunity to expand our relationship with them!
New stockists/Featured Businesses
Soma Organic - Based here in Hastings, we want to give them a mention as their organic smoothies are fab!
Some of these stockists we have mentioned before butwant to do so again as websites have now been developed...

Lastly, we are having a bit of a spring clear out and invite you to have a look at our website to see some specials we have going on at the moment. Also, in order to make room for new stock, we have nearly 2500 gift boxes in 3 different sizes and 14 colours that we have marked down.

Please mention this when placing your order.

Customer Comments
''I just wanted to thank you for the generous gift of delicious toiletries for our VIP area at Glastonbury this year. Not that we ate them, of course, although it was tempting. The soaps, lip balms and body oils were a lovely surprise for all of our glamorous residents, and they certainly made our Beach Huts and Trailers smell fantastic, all through the rain and mud. We kept on smelling lovely, it was a tonic for the soul. And a proper treat for the crew, they told me that they've never had such goodies before.' - Netty Miles, Manager, Paradise Lost Trailer Park
'Thank you so much for the update.Your products are fantastic, and my sister is a big fan also. In addition, it is wonderful that your products are ethically traded, I have placed two orders so far and will be ordering again soon.' - Sipho in London
'The body butters, lip balms and bath melts arrived about an hour and a half ago, they are fantastic, so fantastic in fact that I have sold out of the body butters and the staff here are very excited about the products. I will probably be sending you another order at the end of the month as a lot of people are wanting me to order more in for stocking fillers.' - Lynsey in Golspie
'A little note to say all has arrived safely and everything smells gorgeous!!! I just LOVE the bath melts - wowzers, can't stop smelling the lemongrass!! I recently held a 2 day event and one lady who had visited the event on the Friday, came back on day 2 to scoop up a big handful of bath melts...she had gone home on the Friday night and used a Geranium Rose Melt in her bath and it had been so heavenly that she rushed back first thing on Saturday to buy more before they all sold out! Blissful Bath Melts - they really are magical! This really did make me smile as this lady appeared first thing on the Saturday morning and said 'I just had to come back for more!' Visionary Soaps, you are weaving some kind of magic! - Sarah, The Spiral Tree
'Our order arrived today, yay! It smells amazing, thanks again.' -Emily, Koala Parlour
'Just a quick email to let you know I have been at a farmers market today and your soaps went down a storm. So hopefully I will be placing another order in the New Year as I have almost sold out.' - Amanda, Amanda's Organic
