Closing the Doors...


Hi all!

I have some sad news - I'll be closing the shop at the end of this year. Between my full time job, less time to be able to do this, and sales falling short of expectations, I had to make the tough choice to close. It won't be a permanent closure, as I hope to reopen again in the future, either for seasonal sales, or full time again down the road.

There WILL be a Black Friday sale - I'll be marking down all remaining inventory, as I am trying to move everything that is currently made. There is also a small amount of Winter  offerings, I just added to the shop.

Anything that is ordered between today and Black Friday will be packed up next weekend to ship on Monday 12/2

I wanted to thank you all again for your patronage, and support over the years, it's been a fun ride!

Announcing new Fall in New England Scents!!!

Hello my Lovlies!

I've been busy blending up some new scents down in the Happy Button workshop, and all has been finalized! We have 5 all new scents for the Fall in New England Collection!

The Olde Sugar House - orange and red maple leaves mingled with the sugary sweet scent of pure Vermont Maple syrup!

Pumpkin Cheesecake - a fall classic! blending two of everyone's favorite things...pumpkin pie and cheesecake!

The Smell of October - That perfect scent of the cool crisp air with the slight chill that warns of a winter not far away, dry leaves, a bit of earth.

Mums in the Apple Orchard - Autumn mums, one of the first blooms of the fall season being sold at the Apple Orchard farmer's market...

Marshmallows around the campfire - the smell of the wood gently smoldering in the fire pit, with gooey marshmallows being roasted and bubbling to golden perfection...



and.....an Anniversary  scent!

I can't believe it's been almost two years already since Happy Button Soap Co. has opened it's doors back on October 1, 2011, and to commemorate this milestone, I've created a special scent!

Starlet - a sexy orange satsuma touched with Golden Opium, over a bed a vanilla bean noel. Sexy, sophisticated, and worthy of attention!


these scents will be made in Sugar scrubs, as well as a variety of other product forms - I'll be making these up next weekend, and they will be listed live for sale the weekend of September 14th, as soon as I return from vacation.

As many of you know, I opened my shop just after my wedding back in 2011, so not only is it 2 years that Happy Button Soap Co. has been going strong, but it's also been 2 years that I've been married to my best friend and wonderful husband! Hubby and I will be taking a week off for our anniversary, but as soon as we return, all these wonderful Fall items will go live for sale!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Labor Day weekend,

Have a wonderful week!
