New things!

In case you missed it, we had a fantastic debut from Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab this past month: a gorgeous collection of Montreal-themed perfumes!






SOAPS

Song of Songs: Winter is Past
My beloved spoke and said to me,
Arise my fair one and come away
For, lo, the winter is past--
The rain is over and gone.

Hot ginger, sweet mint, bergamot,
clove, and cedarwood. Made with organic coconut milk, Tussah silk, sweet almond oil, & organic oats.

Song of Songs: Honey and Milk
Honey and milk are under thy tongue.
The scent of honeycomb, sweet cinnamon, cream, emmer, nutmeg, peppercorns, and barley. Made with local, organic honey, finely ground organic oats, fresh goat milk, and a swirl of ground cinnamon.

Song of Songs: A Thread of Scarlet
Thy lips are like a thread of scarlet.
Exotic tuberose, lavender, fresh lime, pomegranate, gardenia, lily
of the valley, heady jasmine, and red currant. Made with organic coconut milk, Tussah silk, golden cocoa butter, and macadamia oil.

Canada Post strike action update

The union of Postal Workers has opted for a rotating strike action, shutting down operations in just one city at a time for periods of 24 to 48 hours.

We looked at courier options, but unfortunately the quotes were double what shipping with Canada Post costs, and are just not feasible to sustain for a small business likes ours. (i.e.: 15$ to Ontario, 20$ to BC, 37$ to PEI.)

At the moment, we will continue to take orders and ship them out via Canada Post. If you choose to order at this time, please note that there will likely be some delays until the strike ends, and should the union move to a national strike, all mail still in transit will be locked down.

Le syndicat des postiers a opté pour une grève, avec l'arrêt des activités dans une seule ville à la fois pour des périodes de 24 à 48 heures.

Nous avons examiné les options, mais, malheureusement, les citations ont été le double des frais d'expédition avec Postes Canada et sont tout simplement pas abordable pour une petite entreprise comme le nôtre. (Ex:. 15 $ à l'Ontario, 20 $ en Colombie-Britannique, 37 $ à l'Île du Prince Édouard.)

À l'heure actuelle, nous continuerons à prendre les commandes et les expédier par Postes Canada. Si vous choisissez de commander à cette heure, s'il vous plaît noter qu'il y aura probablement des délais jusqu'à ce que la grève se termine, et si le syndicat décide d'éffectuer une grève nationale, tous les colis encore en transit seront arrêté.
