Ornate labels decorated tins that held everyday items, and tea cups so thin they were translucent. The stunning style of Art Deco and The Roaring 20's.
The new "Flapper Girl" rejected the puritan fashions and morals that had been popular for so long. Challenging social norms, these young women reinvented themselves in daring ways and took part in activities that were previously only enjoyed by men.
Judged wild and disgraceful by the older generation, when most declined a new experience, the Flapper Girl said yes.
Bobbie's homemade soap was a harsh concoction, made of rendered animal fats and lye-water, chopped into rough blocks. This soap was essential, and they used it for everything from scrubbing clothes, to washing little faces.But my grandmother rejected her mothers homemade soap, and collected her own factory-made soaps. She kept the colorful soaps lined up neatly on her bedroom dresser. It was a simple prize in a pretty package, and as a kid, it drew me in every time.
Always an object of my affection, I learned how to make my own soap in 2011. Made in the traditional cold-process method, with lot's of conditioning olive oil.
Gilded Olive Apothecary is my ode to a colorful era, the New Flapper Girl, and my grandmothers pretty soap collection.
My products are vegan, using only plant oils and butters. I prefer to blend essential oils with high quality fragrance oils to create the best smelling bath and body products possible.
