End of the Season

We've wrapped up another season of craft shows, and are happy to say they all went very well.  Clearly, the economy is improving in Southern Illinois, and this is good news for all of us.  Thanks to everyone who came out to see us this year.  We look forward to seeing you again when things start up again.

In the meantime, you don't have to wait till then to get more of our products.  Still have some names to cross off your Christmas list?  Hands are dry, but you've run out of lotion bars?  Remember, all of Ruth & John's soaps, lotions, and other products are available at Town Square Market in Carbondale.   If you are looking for a wine rack or accessory, you can find them at Dayshift .  You can also find products from both our lines  at E. Claire Salon.  Still not finding what you want?   Then drop us a line at ruthandjohns@gmail.com, and we'll be happy to set you up.

Again, thanks for letting us be a part of your life.

SIU Holiday Craft Sale - 2015

We've done this show for a number of years, and it just keeps getting better and better.  This Thursday, Friday, and Saturday in the south end of the SIU Student Center will be some of the best artists in the area.  I remember attending this show back in my student days, never dreaming that I might one day be a part of it.  So it is a special thrill to set up and look around and know that I am a among a group of wonderful artists and wonderful people.

We enjoy this show a great deal, and look forward to it all year long.  We have lots of new items for you to see, and we're always ready to help you with your gift-giving needs.  For exmple: got a wine loving friend whom you want to impress?  Pick up one of our wine accessories, such as the wine caddy pictured below.  Go to their favorite winery, pick up a bottle of their favorite wine and a set of logo wine glasses, and use the caddy to display them.
 




























Or have Ruth help you assemble a basket of goodies, custom tailored to suit your preferences.  You can even make up your own unique scents for selected products.  How about your own personally scented massage oil?

So come on out and say hello.  We'll be looking for you.
