I love nice soaps - I bought myself a couple of bars of lovely "gourmet" soaps before we left on our road trip, just to have something a bit elegant along. Oatmeal peppermint and lemon. I love the pictures - where is that?

Melissa, this is in Oriental, NC, where we live now! It's just north of where you are now -- you should drive through for a visit. It's a beee-ootiful place :)
