what's your soap story?

Do you like soap? I've been using my accumulation of soaps here at the house that have been forgotten. It seems that they have been pushed aside for liquid. Not anymore.. I'm lathering up. My favorite above is nutmeg (round) it smells so wonderful. The ironstone gravy boats were a second thought. I think I'll put one by the kitchen sink to use as a soap dish. Does anyone still use ivory soap? My Mom swore by that soap.

...and why haven't I used traditional soap? Beats me.
What are you up to this Sunday? I'm on the mend from a hand injury. Thank goodness it wasn't broken. FYI, I'll pass next time helping Hubby with heavy objects. Finally, after a week I can hold my camera again. So, scary.
   Have a great day. Till next time,
