Hey Hey! It’s Shelby over at Rustville Essentials’ “Soap Shop!” We are officially open as of today! It’s been a whirlwind of sawdust and lye, but we have a new floor, a few less walls, and a few new walls; several coats of paint, and whah-la: A rejuvenated, sweet, little, historical Main Street building in downtown Pittsburg, that sat empty for almost a decade! We will have our first full week starting next week, Tuesday through Saturday (Oct 25-29). Starting Tuesday, our full time hours of operation will be Tuesdays thru Fridays, 11:00 until 6:00 pm and Saturdays 10:00 until 5:00 pm. Our quaint little “Soap Shop” is full of handcrafted bath and body products made right here in “Rustville.” We specialize in all natural soaps, body butters, sugar scrubs, and even bath bombs! We also carry different brands of essential oils and various other personal care items, and offer custom, made-to-order gift baskets with our products. We do have other locally made soaps and handcrafted goods, and hope to be a destination shop for local, and out-of-town shoppers that want a variety of the highest quality, all natural, or mostly all natural bath and body products for the whole family to enjoy! We would love to host soap-making parties and classes in the not-so-distant future, so, be sure to like our Facebook page, Rustville Essentials, LLC, to keep up with our latest handmade goodies, sales, and news!

Be sure to check the chamber website for more things going on in the area, Have a great weekend!
