We hope you enjoy reading our Love Letters as much as we do!
I bought a jar of your shea butter from a friend and gave it to my husband to use on his feet as he is a diabetic and has little circulation in his feet giving him dry skin, it has worked better than any scripts we have been given by doctors. I am sending one to my mom in California as she suffers also with heat rash and I told her how your shea has helped my husband. Thanks again for the products. I am sure more orders will follow.

....and Lord knows I am at the age where the abuse of the sun on my skin inspires me to look for a way to heal my own “envelope”, and the idea of being able to share with others a natural “cure” is very appealing. Kind of like the value you feel when you serve your kids, family, friends, homemade biscuits or fresh grown tomatoes...you know what I mean. Thanks again for sharing your ‘dreamy’ shea butter.

Are you going to be at the Farmers Market this weekend? I need more shea butter. It’s gone fast and I’ve passed your cards to ladies who thought my skin looked great. Even my doctor said it looked healthy. Of course I want to send it to everyone I know.

Dear Margie,
My favorite soap today is the mint, it makes for a nice and refreshing shower.And I love the laundry stain stick. I’ve found that it takes out stains easily that might have been untreatable. I’ve taken to carrying a little bar of it in my suitcase because I am on the road so much. My Mom loved her sculptural rose bar so much that she is sending me to the market to get one for a friend. They really hold their scent. When I am home I am always in the garden. The Bye Bye Buggy cream has kept me from the bites so I can enjoy working my lavender.Just wanted to send a quick email to thank you for all your lovely products!

Thank you for making up a special batch of peppermint soap for me. You wanted a report on the ‘tingle’ factor...it is just right!

My children went to visit your place while in the Lake Travis area and brought home some of your samples. I loved them. I tried your lye soap (stain stick) on a stain and it worked when biz and another thing did not take it out. We live in the Katy area and do not at this time have a chance to go back up there, please send me information on your prices and shipping. Thanks a bunch.

Please contact me by e-mail when your website is launched. I bought some of your lotion this past weekend in Wimberley and wanted to see if it would be possible to order by mail in the future. I’m thinking of getting some gifts for Christmas and don’t know if I’ll be back in Wimberley before then or not.

The "three berry" soap is a great soap from head to toe. I look forward to using it. Found myself standing in the shower and starring at the swirling color. Once the bar got wet the colors became even more deep and vibrant. I think this is my first bar of Goats milk soap, will be hard to go any other way from now on. It's so silky. Great for summer time, VERY hard not to eat. And by the way, Margie....your soap suggestion for the guest bath is perfect. It has just the welcoming effect I was looking for. I feel like June Cleaver.

Thank you so much for the Bye Bye Buggy. My skin is at peace.The vanilla makes it medicinal. Truly pleasant to be in the grass tie-dying at dusk. I'm right there with your hubby, this stuff rocks! Fourth day using it, applied every other day, no mosquito in sight, keep it by my bed at night.

I’m so excited! My shea butter is supposed to arrive today - you ship FAST! I fell in love with the sample you sent, it was just a little bit of heaven!

I recently went through the wringer for about 4 weeks to get good shea, which I use in everything I make. First I got green shea, then I got marigold shea, finally I found Margie at Hill Country Haiku and now I get great natural beige shea on a regular basis. Her service is great and her prices are the best and with her quality I’d happily pay more (don’t say anything!!)

I received a gift of some of your products. Your soap is simply a gift that keeps on giving. In the underwear and sock drawer it gives up some of its scent. After a shower, even those who don’t even know you thank you. After the soap was gone from one of the loofah bars, I saved the loofah for the soap dish to rest the hand soap on and keep it dry. When I finish another, I plan to do the same with it until all the bar soaps in the house have a loofah to rest on.

Lady, this soap is “da bomb”, wonderful, maaaahvelous!!!!! After using my bar I even love the jojoba spheres. Who would have thought they were exfoliating, stimulating! This is by far the best bar of soap I have ever purchased.

Margie, I just got my unrefined shea...boy that was fast. I am so very pleased with this product. It is just wonderful used neat...disappears right into my skin with no greasy after-feel. And my skin feels so silky and moisturized! I am looking forward to experimenting with it. I wonder how many of my products will be even better with an addition of your terrific shea?
Elaine
My husband used your shea butter for the first time today and called it dreamy creamy silky smooth. I guess I had better get more (I wasn’t planning on sharing it!)
Kim,Missouri
Margie, I am using the shea I purchased from you and it is soooooooooo nice, have rubbed it on my winter hangnails, even around my nose and sinus glands and the shea has helped that too.
Betty R, Lampasas, Texas
Thank you so much for making this wonderful raw shea available! Is is the best I have ever used and there is such a difference in the skin feel between your shea and the cosmetic counter shea. I am recommending it to everyone I think of.

Dear Margie,
I love my shea butter! Or should I say I love your shea butter? It’s beautifully creamy, has that nice nutty natural scent, and it arrived so quickly!
And I love simply looking at your soap almost as much as I do using it! I was studying, very closely, the magnificent swirled colors in a bar of your soap today. Stark naked, 52 years old, too manypets and un-read books, and I’m sitting in the tub peering at your soap. The lighter colors when wet even sparkle! I had a wonderful afternoon peering at your wet soap. Well, not the WHOLE afternoon!
Sue K, Ohio
Holy Crap, it lathers like crazy!!!! It feels fantastic, very moisturizing while washing and a wonderful afterfeel once the air hits the skin. My skin is SUPER dry, so when a bar of soap makes my hands Not make noise when I rub them after they are dry, that is impressive. I can’t even hear my fingers when I rub them together and it usually sounds like sand paper. I’ll say you have a pretty great luxury bar here!!! Seriously, my hands are nice and dry and my rings are flopping all over the place. That’s a good sign that it’s got residual moisturizing when my rings flop!!

I received my order of shea butter today and I wanted to Thank You. You were sure lightning fast to ship it out! I appreciated the hand written note on your business card also, what a thoughtful thing to do! I know you must be very busy, but you took the time to do that! I just had to let you know how wonderful your product and service to to me.
Many thanks,Krystal D
Margie, thank you for your very kind note.
Your soap truly is a work of art. The texture, the swirls, the fragrances..they are all so precise and technically perfect. I had someone in the shop yesterday looking at your soap, and I was able to honestly say that I gave it a 10 out of a 10, overall as a bar of soap. Again, thank you for such a fabulously wrapped package. It was a delight to open.
Happy soaping!
