new products from portland general store! i haven't been this excited about a new line in quite a while. portland general store is the brainchild of lisa brodar. the inspiration comes from " a love of Maine and all things artisinal, and the idea that peak oil and cheap transportation of imported goods is coming to an end and being replaced by a more local means of trade. Portland General Store products are made using the most natural and highest quality ingredients available. "

for the man in your life, or for yourself (it definitely says cool and confident) we have a nice selection online and in store. choose from Tabac or Whiskey wet shave jelly, aftershave splash and skin quench balm. we also have a huge tub of Tobacco bath scrubs that i know i'll be sneaking into ;o) arriving soon are cigar gift boxes filled with tons of sample goodies from the whole line. at just $35 it makes a GREAT gift.

enjoy! and happy shopping! k&m

a new order of beautea liquid hand soaps in Black Ceylon Pekoe
Tea and White Darjeeling Tea. they didn't stay in stock long last time,
so get them while you can.

we're also introducing a new line of bath products to the shop.
earthworks is the creation of Corinne Able and we're super excited
to carry the line. her products are beautiful on the outside as well
as inside: paraben-free, not tested on animals and packaged
in recyclable containers. we've just received a shipment of handmade
bath truffles in 7 yummy scents along with hand-wrapped bar soap
that is just lovely. both should be online and in-store this week.

keep checking back for new arrivals each week.

happy shopping! k&m

great new soaps from local ricgmonder, Jackson Sage. we're so
excited to have Erika's handcrafted, yummy smelling, beautifully
packaged soaps in store and online. look for them to appear this
weekend.

a little bit about them: the soaps are handmade using the cold-process
method. each bar contains natural oils, butters, herbs, clay, and pure
essential oils. each one is hand stamped and imperfections are left to
leave traces of the hand. all soaps are pH tested to ensure mildness.

at $6.50 a piece, they make for a wonderful hostess gift or a treat for yourself!

enjoy! and happy shopping. k&m
