Meet Susan and Darrell ...
The idea of lye based homemade soap as a small business was inspired by a trip to Montana in the late 90’s. I bought a few bars of soap and fell in love with the idea of handmade soap, using lye, just like Grandma used to do. It created the ‘fire and desire’ in me to be the soap maker. I attended a few soap making classes and experimented with soap making and scents. In February 2000, I produced my first batch of soap -- which was a total flop!
I stayed with it, and, batch after batch, I finally “got it” – the wonderful recipe that today yields the 6 oz. bars of herbal lye soap produced by Little Soap Pleasures.
In 2006, I met my husband Darrell through a “dog rescue” effort that we both had a passion for and with his experience in candle making we created Flickers and Flames to combine with my soap making business. While still young, Flickers and Flames is open to new suggestions and ideas and we continually try new techniques. Please send us your ideas today!
Darrell and I continue with our love of soap making, candle making and animal rescue to this day. We are proud to produce top quality soaps, sugar scrubs, body butters, candles and to have rescued hundreds of homeless and abused animals in Eastern Kentucky and surrounding counties.
Proceeds from both Little Soap Pleasures and Flickers and Flames go to help with food and medical care of these animals through our rescue, Sylvia’s Animal Sanctuary, a 501c3 organization. You can see our currently adorable and adoptable rescues online at: http://www.petfinder.com/shelters/KY283.html
From our home to yours,
