"Hey Patti,   I just wanted to let you know how awesome your Tea tree lip balm is. I recently have gotten a tattoo on our family vacation to the Obx. With it being my first one I wanted to make sure I was caring for it properly. They give you instructions on what ointment and lotions to use for the healing process so of course I purchased them and started using the ointment right away. 

Having such sensitive skin 2 days later I was breaking out in what looked like and felt like a rash around the tattoo and the tattoo itself started scabbing more then I thought it should. I went to visit my mom and in conversation I complained of what I was experiencing. Instead of giving me the lecture and reasons for not getting a tattoo she simply handed me the tea tree balm and said to try that. She also suggested washing it with one of your lavender soaps and using your lotions to keep it moist.

Honestly I used your soaps everyday and I never thought of using the soap on the tattoo as well. The next day after using the balm and soap the rash cleared up and the lotion has helped with the scabbing and cut back on a lot of the itching. I never thought to use your products on a tattoo, I didn't want to break any "tattoo laws" but I'm glad I did. Silly me, I had all the right healing products right under my nose!

Seriously, my tattoo is looking great now and it's good to know that if I decide to get another I know what products work good for my skin.                                                                                                        Thank you bunches!"                                                                                                                     Jaime Minnick

"I also wanted to RAVE about your "Happy Lips Emu & Tea Tree" Lip Balm. It's wonderful for everyday use but it also has wonderful medicinal properties...I suffer from wicked cold sores,(I have for as long as I can remember and believe me when I tell you that I've tried EVERYTHING!) Before my doctor had given me a prescription one of these out breaks could easily last 3+ weeks. (start to finish) Now using my prescription the virus part is usually done in 48hrs, but the sores can take up to a week or longer to heal.

This past week, starting on Sunday, I had a nasty out break on my upper lip...it looked like Botox gone bad!...by Tuesday (having used my script) I was at the scabby sore stage. I started using my "Happy Lips Emu & Tea Tree" Lip Balm at this point, and here it is only Friday and my lips are soft and all but healed!! The healing properties of the Tea Tree Oil is truly amazing!!

NOTHING I have ever used along with my prescription has worked so well or so fast in aiding in the healing of my cold sores. Just one more thing to my "Favorites from Patti's Potions List"!! Thanks so much and Blessed Be! Michelle PS I also have been really enjoying the incense you enclosed in the last order!!"

Recently I received this wonderful customer appreciation letter and wanted to share it with all of you.

Here it is in it's entirety:

"Hi Patti, I just had to take a few moments and let you know how a small ripple in a pond can really spread out.  My daughter called me last night and told me how she took time on her lunch break (something she hardly ever does) and explored your website a bit and found herself ordering a couple of gift baskets for her co-workers and some soaps for herself. 

It tickled me because this child (now 27) so gave me that suspicious "what are you trying to pawn off on me now Mom" look when I gave her one of your soaps a few weeks ago.  This child has always had problem skin and since being out of the "nest" so to speak, has spent quite a bit of $$ buying skin care products. 

I never thought she'd switch to something so simple as a natural soap.. but switch she did, very quickly and you really ought to hear her now going into the virtues of natural soap, staying away from the chemical additives (which she paid dearly for before)..  

First of all, thank you for taking the time on your website and giving an education about soaps, WHY natural is better over processed and going into the healing properties of the different ingredients you use.  I find it interesting how such information that was probably readily available 2 generations ago got lost or put aside as the industrial age marched on -- so again, thank you for making this information available for us again -- a lot of other soap sites just tend to stay on the selling end of it.   Anyway, getting back to the ripples...as my daughter pointed out to me... that the natural soaps are this tiny bit of luxury you can give to a female (or male) friend, particularly someone difficult to buy for.  And as I am discovering, the small gifts I have given to those I care about have created that ever expanding ripple effect to their friends and acquaintances.

My co-workers (who again, would never even think of buying an artisan soap) are RAVING about their gifts and I am sure, when their supplies run low, they will be poking around your site looking for more -- creating more ripples and waves as they recommend to their friends.. 

I had to chuckle when I read my sister Michelle's comments on the web..  I can really see her doing that kind of thing (telling everyone about her back heheh).. and she's absolutely correct in that she's a walking billboard for your products (she tells me now, "We just LOVE Patti")... It's as though we know you personally (because you do take that time and add your personal touch to things) and you've become "our new best friend".  

She also tells me that she would have NEVER tried that kind of product before -- never even thought of it before unless/until I actually GAVE her a bar of the soap and told her to at least TRY it.(She ROLLED her eyes last summer on vacation when I splurged and bought someone else's soap).. now she's hooked (and she DOES have horrible problems with her skin -- or should I use past tense on that?hehehe)..   Business folks tend to get a TON of feedback when their products or services aren't up to par.  I felt you should hear more of the details of just how "special" your soaps are and how much I am enjoying watching the ripples spread ever so wide  as your soaps and lotions touch more and more lives...  

We live in a computer age, and it is so very easy to communicate and touch someone else's life hundreds of miles away in almost an instant.  All of my co-workers work in a cyber-atmosphere and we are physically spread across the entire continent. The emails getting passed now during the work day discuss the properties of your soaps and just how lovely they are -- more ripples -- I am pleased to see the ripples spread (specially with the previous "hard sells") -- and I'm sure it will turn into more well deserved $ business for your website. 

I really did mean what I said about getting such lovely energies every time I visit your site.   It is very evident how much time, effort, and love you've put into your business.   Blessings on you my dear. 

Thank you for sharing your passion with the rest of us and helping us get back to our roots, which truly is nature based..  Meanwhile, I'm going to watch the ripples spread even further -- now they're in Massachusetts, MD, New York, and Missouri.. and probably spreading now into NH and Maine.. heheh.   Well, that's it.. Kudos to you.. and now I really do have to take a work break."

"I a "I am a walking billboard at school (I am a librarian in an elementary school).  I had one friend feel the skin on my back, where it is always so dry and rough, and it is silky soft now.  Every time we get together with one of our other friends, or co-workers, the first thing she says is "you HAVE to feel Michelle's skin!" lol....it's rather funny AND a bit embarrassing!!  

Patti, I LOVE everything I've bought and tried so far....the Brown Sugar Scrub is AMAZING!!! Thank you for all the special magic you put in your products! Blessed Be! Michelle

-- Michelle Callahan from Massachusetts

"I really do get lovely energies every time I visit your website. It's been only a week of using your soaps and lotion and already my eczema on my foot is starting to clear.

The lavender lotion is to DIE for!!!"

" I recently purchased the Rosemary Mint Shampoo and Body Wash at the Harbor Marketplace. After talking extensively with you I had high hopes that this would help my dandruff problems as the commercial shampoos, including the ones that were specifically for scalp problems didn't help at all. I couldn't be more pleased as my scalp is about 99% free of dandruff and leaves my hair just beautiful. You could market your product for dandruff control. Thank you Patti."

" I just received my first order from you today, and your soaps smell simply wonderful!!  I can't wait to use them- especially the stress relief and lavender." 

-- C.K.Washington State

"My 6 y/o son loves his "Bearly There" Lip Balm.  The Aveda scents smell fantastic as well.  And thank you so much for throwing in the freebie of Faerie Dust soap- I LOVE this one, and probably never would have selected it from your list of scents."

-- R.J. Racine, WI

I must thank you also for such great customer service, and such quick and efficient order processing/shipping.  I know whenever I order something, I want it "yesterday"...and you came really close to shipping my order before I even placed it."

-- Cynthia, Rockford, IL

"I love your lotion and the soap scent (Red Clover Tea) is so nice very pleasant. My husband has very dry skin and the only thing that helps is soap and lotions that have emu and shea butter in them.  The lady I use to get it from is no longer in business and I had almost given up on finding anything close to what she made and them god led me to your web site and now I have a prayer answered."

--Thanks Melanie G. Edmond, OK

“Awesome feel, smell, and relaxation properties! I love all of Patti’s products".

“I save up buy to buy Patti’s soaps. I’ve been buying her soap for four years now."

-- Gwen, Kenosha, WI

"I love that Patti's Potions are homemade. The Rosemary Mint Shampoo and Body Wash smells fantastic and works well with my thick hair and dry skin. I use it all the time."
--Heather Gay, St. Louis Park, MN

"Patti's soaps are the best!  I don't use anything else and my friends would be SO disappointed if I didn't give them soap at birthdays and holidays.  I like trying the different scents each time I need a new bar.  The shampoo is very gentle and I'm sure it's the reason my perm has looked so good for such a long time." 
--M.P.S.  Waterford, WI

"I am so impressed with Patti's soaps! I never shower with anything but these wonderful, fragrant bars...my skin loves them! The lotions are not greasy, and totally rub into your skin and feel wonderful! I also use her shampoo, and have great results with my hair. Thanks for the great products!"
--Cindy G., Cottage Grove, MN

"Dear Patti;
I have been using your soaps and lotions for over a year now. All of your fragrances are refreshing, and each of the bars lasts so much longer than commercially available products. I particularly like your cocoa butter body bar. I am able to coat those weather-beaten areas like my feet and see wonderful results in the drier climate of Colorado.

Thanks for making a product that is a real value for me!"
--Brigid McClaire, Colorado

"I love that you can use this (cuticle balm) on your lips as well as your cuticles."

-- Cori, Oconomowoc, WI

"My husband Joey used to have a flaky scalp, but not anymore. We love this Head to Toe Shampoo and body wash. Patti went the extra mile to get us the Shampure fragrance that we love. What could be better than that!"

--Erin Gutsmiedl, Germantown, WI

"I love the scent of the soaps and the way they make my skin feel.  My skin feels moisturized, not dried out like commercial soaps.  Cucumber Melon is one of my favorites!"

I was sitting at work today and caught a whiff of myself--darn did I smell good!  It was the new Shannon Spring!"

"I like the Oatmeal, Milk and Honey because it acts as a natural exfoliate."

-- Janine Paskiewicz, Kenosha, WI
