I'm sure I'm also projecting a bit, as I have a big decluttering project in my 140-year-old house ahead of me!

You can really easily make liquid hand soap out of any bar of soap! I’ll share my recipe below :) Use 100g of soap for every 2,5 liters of water and 5 teaspoons of glycerine. Add any essential oil you want. Or add homegrown lavender buds😁 1. Grate your soap. 2. Bring your water to a boil and add the soap shavings. 3. Also add the glycerine. 4. Let simmer till all soap shavings have melted away. 5. Let cool overnight and use a hand blender to make it liquid. If you want to add essential oils/lavender buds, add them now. It keeps for at least a year :) I’ve been doing this for a few years now, to get through all the small hotel-soaps.

In addition to the laundry room you could put a chunk of that soap in the greenhouse for clean up and anywhere the workmen wash their hands. ❤️🇨🇦

Weird, I read this this morning in a book... "Re-arranging and getting rid of, will make you feel as if you receive a spurt of energy and sparking joy. Constructive activity will remove layers of thoughts and actions that have been laid down before and that may no longer serve. Shifting and re-arranging shifts energy and allows new to flow in." That soap is beautiful. You could grate it down too, and it will dissolve easily. Can be used for dishes, baths, hands and clothes too!

Philip, Savon de Marseille is the best and is used in all French hospitals because of its PH good for the patients skin and its antiseptic and antibacterial qualities. Its odour comes from the olive oil and the traditional way of making it (no perfume). It's a totally natural soap and has been used for centuries for laundry and personal hygiene. It can be kept for decades. Besides Savon de Marseille (flakes) is recommended for washing new born babies' clothes for all its qualities.

Could Nick maybe weight down the root ball of that tree to keep it from uprooting and get a few more years of life out of it? With some artistically arranged boulders or something? Meanwhile a newly planted tree nearby could be getting some height established for shade when the damaged tree finally has to go. I know that might sound like a silly plan but I actually did that with a Japanese maple that was uprooting so much it was already starting to lean. We cabled it upright to another tree and packed soil around the root ball. The cable held it and here we are 15 years later and it’s beautiful and healthy!

As others have probably said, the soap is good. It's just very well cured (dehydrated), which means that, once you begin using it, it will last a VERY long time. Although it may have lost some of its scent, it will be some of the best soap you've got in the chateau :) Wonderful find! Keep that box -- it's a soap mold, I'm guessing.

The clean up of the hall looks great and airy.

We are to be part of this viewing and Patrons are right for you at this time anyway! Soap is very, very expensive. The more old-fashioned it is the more expensive it is!
