more to come

Hi everyone!
I'm sorry for the confusion! The first batches of Violette Market/Haunt soap have sold out, but Lori has commissioned me to make some more for you! I believe that due to site limitations, she removed the soap page from her site until the soaps are ready, which will be in a few weeks. Thank you to everyone for your support of this collaboration.

For my loyal customers who may have missed out, please don't be disappointed! I am planning on a very exciting Halloween line this year, and will open my Etsy shop in mid September with new treats, as well as some old favorites.

If you have any questions about the Violette Market/Haunt collaboration, Please email me at HauntSoap@gmail.com, or Lori at violettemarket@yahoo.com.


Thank you everyone!
Erin

the unfathomable sea, and time, and tears

Lost at Sea
Artisan soap by Haunt beguiling bath and body, crafted with fine perfume blends by Violette Market



The Reef Journals
Salty
sea spray, aquatic blue musk, citron and lime men’s cologne, a hint of English lilac, and the fine Cordovan leather of a journal.
With creamy Fair Trade shea butter and Pacific sea salt



The East Indies
Tiare Māori gardenia, fresh green mango, Mysore sandalwood, dewy pink tuberose, white jasmine flower, coconut milk, orange blossom, lemon leaf, and a faint trail of green champa incense carried in the evening breeze.
With Virgin Coconut Cream, Orange Blossom water and fresh coconut milk



Lost at Sea
A parchment letter soaked with salty tears, softly scented with a young woman’s lilac water and placed in a clear glass bottle, set a-drift among the aquamarine waves of the Atlantic Ocean. With gentle Chamomile flowers, brewed black English tea, and dried cottage flowers



The Captain's Quarters
Deep oaken wood, worn leather bound books, dusty parchment atlases, bottled exotic spices, black husked coconuts, and dirty flasks half-emptied of dark rum. With sticky blackstrap molasses, creamed coconut meat, and black lava salt

The Sea Dragon

Aged black vanilla, brine-coated wood, dragon’s blood resin, salty sea spray, otherworldly spiced incense, and ocean waves crashing upon the deck from the slash of the beast’s wooden tail. Infused with Dragon’s Blood resin and Madagascar Bourbon Vanilla beans, and smeared with powdered Dragon’s Blood and red Alaea sea salt



Under the Pacific Waters
The cold blue water of the Pacific, green tea leaf, sea moss, white pear, salted musk, and dark aquatic herbs. With Irish moss, brewed green tea and leaves, and Pacific sea salt



With Mermaids
Green sea kelp, salty ocean water, white melon rind, aquatic flowers, and Pacific sea foam. With Virgin Coconut Cream, salt water, sea kelp, and shimmering pink Himalayan salt

coming soon...for real!

Hello dear friends!
I must apologize for my premature tease! After posting my previous entry, my collaborator and I have moved the release date around a little, to accommodate the artistic process. :D We've got everything coordinated, and are moving toward revealing the goodies in about a week. This line will not be sold directly by me, but will be available on the site of my lovely and talented collaborator. Thank you all for your patience, and interest in what I'm doing these days!

More news! I've been asked by many lovely persons if I'll be selling my Halloween wares this year, and the answer is yes! I am planning on a wee sale (most likely Etsy), in mid-September. Making some changes to how I've sold in the past will hopefully allow me to have these little sales periodically. I'm so thrilled that so many of you have continued to support what I do with Haunt. I thank you from the bottom of my heart!

See you in about a week. :)

xxoo
