Happy Friday Friends!
I have a very special place in my heart for yummy candles and soaps… really, I feel that one can never have too many of either.
When I go romping around the shops in little towns and out of the way places with my mom, I never fail, EVER, to bring home either soap, or a candle, or both…. and maybe some Pyrex, but that's a whole 'nuther story.
Anyhow, knowing my weakness for the smell goods, you can imagine my delight in having a sponsor who lovingly crafts and creates the most delicious soaps and candles – Songbird Soaps.
I think her studio must smell like heaven on earth, don't you?
Songbird artisan, Ansley, has generously offered up TWO prizes for Blue Yonder readers in this weekend's sponsor giveaway.
The first winner will receive a whole coconut soy candle.
This reminds me so much of my honeymoon in Maui. I don't see us going back anytime soon, but I'm thinking that if Mr. Blue Yonder and I could share a fruity drink over a candle like this one, I just might be able to close my eyes and hear the ocean.
You know Mother's Day is right around the corner. I may have to lobby for a mini maui vacation via coconut candle.
The second winner will get to pick out three songbird soaps of her choice.
You will have to try your hardest to resist eating them with a spoon though, because really they are just so dang delicious looking, aren't they? I think a nice little soak with some lovely scented goodness might make a nice Mother's Day mini getaway too.
All you have to do to be entered into our Songbird Soaps giveaway is run over to their shop, browse around a little, then come back and leave a comment here on this post, telling me what struck your fancy.
Sorry – this contest is now closed.
And the winners are…..
Jennifer V. who said "mmmm…it would have to be the pine scented candle, that smell reminds me of my honeymoon kayaking on Canada's West Coast."
And also, Kobey who said, "Lemongrass & Ginger soap sounds wonderful. Insect repellent that smells good and an energy boost – awesome. All the soaps look beautiful."
Congratulations ladies! And thank you so much to Songbird Soaps!

Magical Mint Soap. I mean, really, who could go wrong with something like that in their bathroom?
Lavender mini-soaps for my bathroom….heavenly!
I am a sucker for soaps…especially ones that have “grits” in them…as I like to call it. Of course, with that being said, Songbird’s Lavendar and Oats struck my fancy!

Ooohhh! Love at first sight!
Ooooh the geranium w/carrots soap looks divine!
ohhh, I can just smell the ginger lemongrass… Yum! I also love the idea of mini bars for all the mini hands in our house!
The coconut candle is pretty awesome! What a fun thing to put on my patio table this summer.
Oh, I love the coconut candle! Mmm, and scented with coconut too, I definitely want one of those! I bet the peppermint pillar candle smells great too.
Mmmm…that coconut soy candle looks divine!
i love the half shell coconut candle. the coconut candles would look lovely on our nature table!
Lemon-lime soy candle, all the way. I can’t imagine not feeling happy if that’s what I’m smelling! Like a popsicle in summer.
You have put up a giveaway for my true weaknesses. They look so good too. I would probably pick geranium with carrot seeds for the soap even though the lavendar with oats sounds yummy too. And the candle, I would pick the peppermint candle.
Magical mint soap would be my pick! Candle in a coconut, very cool!
Oh, the soy candles look delicious!
Oh, the soaps are lovely!
My favorite thing about her shop is the LOVE that is put into each project. Her bio says it all! The product shows all the love and I am sure you can feel it in the bath!

I enjoy the whole process of making soap, from preparing the area, to mixing the oils, base and essential, pouring the soap mixture into the molds, and finally cutting and packaging each soap bar.
Whether making soap or candles, each batch is made with much care and love.
I love all things lavender… and especially a spray to spritz on your pillow case before bedtime.
coconut soy candle! I love it!
Love handmade soap and candles!
That coconut candle looks lovely – as does the idea of being transported off to a tropical haven!
I like the lavender oats soap. Those oats sound like they would make cleaning up after being in the garden much nicer.

Mmmm…rosemary mint soap sounds like heaven!
Those scents sound yummy. I kept reading Soup instead of Soap and then I got hungry. I’m really liking the lavender oat soap. I’m sure it is really relaxing
I like the Clove Soy Wax candle, lovely and I’m sure it smells divine ! Wish there were some prints for us to see!!
I’m with you-candles and soap. You can’t go wrong. We keep a cabinet full for times when we need an instant gift. Lavender is my all time favorite, but I bet pine would be great in the winter.
The lavender with oats soap looks good and I love that coconut candle. The mimi mint soap looked good to go with my handmade wash cloths for gifts. Thanks for hosting this give away!
would love to try that rosemary mint soap. what a great combo!
ooh! thanks for a chance to win! three lovely soaps would be just perfect to give away to the boys’ teachers…. if i could manage to part with them
Rosemary mint…mmmm.
the rosemary mint soap sounds like exactly what I need.
Big sucker for soaps and candles. I like the lavendar spray too. My yoga teacher sprays us before relaxation time.
Cheers
These look lovely!
Oh that lavender with oats soap sounds heavenly!
Hard to decide, but the Lemongrass Ginger sounds good right now! Thanks for a great giveaway : )
The coconut candle sounds yummy!
The coconut candle caught my attention right away – it reminds me of when I lived in Spain and saw some candles that looked similar. Love it!
Wow, what’s not to like. I love the look of all their candles and rosemary mint soap sounds nice.
Mmmm, yummy. They make me feel clean and fresh and healthy just looking at them!
I’d love one of the soy candles. And I never say no to yummy soaps,these oes look really good.
We LOVE candles here, and all of these are beautiful! Although I really like the colors, I am drawn to the coconut one!
Really lovely to look at all the soaps! My husband is a real coconut lover, it gives him a holiday feel, so please count me in
Mini Soap – Geranium with Carrot Seed or the lemongrass ginger (I bet it smells so good!)
That lavender with oats looks absolutely amazing!
My friend has a band called Songbird; even her license plate is named that! So funny. I loved the Lavender with oatmeal. Wouldn’t that be nice to use after working in the garden?!
I don’t know if I’ll squeak in under the wire or not, but I have to say I LOVE rosemary soaps… and the songbird ones are so beautiful!!! I would love to use them every day. Also, the lavender spray would be lovely… I think it would be awesome to smell lavender all the time!
A soy candle is just what I’ve been looking for, and they are so cute in the coconut bowl.
I’ll go but only because you asked so nicely I can’t imagine there is anything I want more than Rosemary lemon soap.
