Better than a Knighthood.



Honours come in many forms. I've had countries named after me (Cro-atia), plants named after me (Cro-cus), and even a garden game named after me (Cro-quet). But of all these honours, the greatest must be the naming of a soap (Cro-bar).


As for the ingredients, this superb soap (created by Maitre Savoneur Donna O'Shaughnessy of Chatsworth Ilinois USA) has them in abundance; Coconut, Almond, Clove, Guinness, and Cedarwood. What a fabulous aroma! What a fabulous soap!

Donna not only makes wonderful soap, she is also a hard working organic farmer and spokesperson the USA's 'Raw Milk' campaign.

See her blog here, or contact Donna direct at opies99@gmail.com.


Meanwhile, Lady Magnon has given up her daily bath in Asses Milk in exchange for Donna's hauntingly aromatic Olive, Coconut, and Almond oil, soap. Its scent of Peppermint is absolutely delicious. She's already hooked.

Go on; buy now to avoid disappointment!

    2. I hope you don't think I was referring to you. I can't think of a less Cro-ne like person!

    I do not know anyone from Cro-atia, but I might start having a liking for that country now :-)

  4. Did you call your tree-house 'Cro's nest', or have I just made that up?

  5. A great honour indeed! Oh, don't forget the currency.....Kro-ner. They did spell it incorrectly though.

  6. What an honour, to have a soap named after you, and one with two of my favourite things: Guinness and chocolate!

    Thanks for directing me to her blog a while back, btw. I'm learning lots for my own soapmaking!

  9. I've been here at the hospital with my husband since April 24 (complications after bypass surgery). Today's post gave me some much-needed smiles, and groans.

  10. I love homemade soap. It is so creamy and lathers nicely, and I am told it smells wonderful! Wish I could smell it.
