Mary, I just love your purity. You love nature, and you did an unbelievably great job of capturing what your eyes saw on your hike. I have to say that some of that beautiful wildlife almost brought me to tears! I can't imagine how you felt seeing all of that beauty in person! Thank you for sharing with us! And I did love the peace of watching the soap making!
Yes , I felt the same way! Our son- in-law is from Maine and when our daughter went to visit ( we live in Michigan) they climbed Katahdin and got engaged there ! 😂😍😍
C Lingle I think God has given you that inspiration about the colors of soap being in our natural surroundings. No wonder you are "inspired" by his creation!
Mary, nature inspires! Nature is beautiful! It’s relaxing! Nature is art!! I love art & nature inspires me to paint. I want to paint everything I see, so I get you. Those soaps look amazing & beautiful!!
Mary, I didn't think your videos could get any better. I just love this video so much. I am from the White Mountains of NH. I have lived here for 36 years and am still in amazement of the beauty and wildlife. I found you a couple of months ago and you have inspired me more than I can describe. Thank you so much for your wonderful videos which are not only educational but so calming.
Wow Mary! This is the most beautiful video. Your editing and the music is spot on and the whole effect is inspiring me to make soaps. I just moved to Maine and right now it’s really cold, but it is beautiful in every season. I’m not surprised you were inspired by the colors of Maine. Thank you for inspiring a faithful viewer!
Dear Mary, As always your video was so inspiring. But...this one was EXCEPTIONAL. The background music was wonderful. The photos of Maine and the soaps that reflected your experience, so soothing. Hugs 💞
Mary, you captured the colors of the reindeer moss and stone and other nature perfectly! Wish I could smell them! I also love Maine....so beautiful there.
Thanks for sharing all your creativeness with us. Your soaps look as luscious as they must smell. Nature is the best inspiration for great inventiveness.
Mary, Fathers' Nature (this earth, the heavens) these were made for us to enjoy! We are to be inspired, in awe of Him, and have The Joy of His through our Discovery! Then we radiant love back to Him through Praise, Worship, and Thankfulness! So be inspired! Thank you, Mary! Never change! AnnFromAlabama.
Mary, all your variety of videos are great !!!!! The soap looks wonderful and that hike looks absolutely amazing !!!! You two couples look like twins ! Blessings
Very pretty colors of soap. I was amazed at how long your hair is when its down. So glad you had such a nice time in Maine. Very picturesque photos you shared. Thanks
This video was so beautifully put together!! It was so peaceful and very interesting to see how you bring all the elements together to get your vision in a bar of soap!!! It absolutely makes sense!! Thank you!!
I am so happy I found your channel. After watching a couple videos I was hooked. I've been binge watching your channel for a week. So much inspiration. I've got a notebook and writing projects I need to do. I have learned so much from you and I'm 73! 😅 Looking forward to lots more. Have a blessed week.
I love this nature video. You captured beautiful wild life. I also noticed you have beautiful long hair , never saw you with hair down. You guys are in great. Shape to do that hike. Mary you have so much talent in making stuff and also decorations, cooking, ect.. keep on doing what you do best.
Sheila McDade in Chattanooga here . . . Thanks for sharing your hiking trip! Your long braid was so pretty. You and your husband must really be in good shape to hike on such a rocky mountain. Do you still walk every afternoon down your lane at home? It takes discipline to get out there daily in the winter!
Mica powder IS from nature... so you've been all-natural all along. I really enjoyed hearing you describe the process of being inspired by your hiking adventure. Thanks for sharing that. It doesn't sound weird. It's good!
That was such a beautiful video to watch. I love all that you used all natural ingredients. Soap making is on my list of things to learn this year. Your hikes out in nature look amazing. I love seeing different parts of the world - it’s amazing how different creation is around the world. Thank you for another great video!
Love the colors and combinations of scents you added. Glad you made it to Maine to see the beauty it offers. I live approximately 2 hours away from Millinocket in Winterport, Maine.
Mary, this video is so beautiful, calming, and relaxing. You color choices are so special. You are very creative! Thank you for all the information on the colors and scents.
Thank you Mary for reminding me how much I love reindeer moss!! I used to live in Maine and this brought back wonderful memories!! Loved this video!! The music, the scenery just perfect!!! You made me feel homesick for Maine!!
Drawing inspiration from nature is creativity and artistry. Nothing crazy about it. I do the same for my art. The natural soap as well as your videography is stunning.
It was fun to find your channel as a gal who lives on the border of Baxter State Park and who's husband is a full time ranger there! Love the interpretation of the place through soap! Best, Wishes, Sarah
Your video is really impressive. The harmony of nature and handmade soap you show is really beautiful. The colors that nature gives are natural and have a subtle charm. Just like you! (The final packaging is also really beautiful!!!)
Love the soap colorand trip idea. I understand your thought process and think it’s beautiful. I actually loved the part of the video where you made the soap, had captions and No talking at all. It was visually beautiful, serene and relaxing. Great choice of music. Thank you.
I truly loved this beautiful video!! All the gorgeous scenery and I truly thought the soaps were just perfect as to the colors of nature! Thank you Mary!
I totally get that you wanted your soap to look like nature and it does! What a beautiful hike you went on, so lucky! My friend and I are in our 70's and while we don't do climbing hikes we do go to a lot of nature trails that might have gentle climbs on them. We love seeing nature and the beautiful colors! We live in the southwest of British Columbia, Canada and we are blessed with so many wonderful trails to explore! You did a wonderful job of matching your soap to the different elements. I wish I could smell them all! Thank you for sharing Mary!
What a wonderful video. Loved the nature scenes. Love your channel and I look forward to each one of your wonderful ideas and projects. Thank you for sharing. Soaps look amazing and I'm sure they smell just as nice.
The soaps are all so beautiful. I love that you are so inspired by nature and I appreciate that you share your thought processes with us, as well as your wonderful vacation!
Mary, my sister & I just love watching your videos. We watch them all & learn so much. Loved today's soap video. I rushed to your etsy shop & was able to order some of your soap, before it quickly sold out.Can't wait to try it. Thank you for sharing with us all.
I'm glad nature inspired you. I would love to try some of those soaps. The smell you are talking about interest me. I, however, love the smells of clean linen, and ocean. I'm glad when you do let us know about the new soaps you create and that you are going to be selling. Keep it up! Plus, I enjoy listening to your voice it's very calming.
Sorry this one is so long... Dear Mary, I am so grateful I found your RUclips channel. It brings me such joy. I find I can hardly wait to view another one of your episodes, each day. Working my way through them all. Your Christian attitude, outlook on life, creativity, and sweet smile draws me in. And your gift of filling your home and life with scripture thrills me. I very much love the two little Cottages you have created. So tastefully done, inside and out. You have such a good eye for detail. They have inspired me to send to you this message. I have an odd suggestion for you. In Colorado, there is a small Stone Chapel, up a steep incline, 4 wheel drive accessible. It is so very popular…It is difficult to reserve for all the Weddings that wish to be there. Even though access is a challenge. So, I suggest, you build a small, intimate Chapel. Simple, White, Nondenominational, Lovely as only you could do. I believe, you too will have no trouble renting it for Weddings! Then there is always your Cottage for the Honeymoon:) A wee side note…I have always had the desire to build a small Chapel. But now, at 73, the time nor the means are available to me. So I pass my dream on to you. Something I’ve never done before. I find you are just that special! God Bless You, Cathleen
Mary you are amazing!You continue each time to impress and bless us. Your talents are unlimited. God has truly blessed you. Allow no one to stop you when you have dreams!!
Turn out just beautiful and if those were laid out in a beautiful basket....oh my..how pretty would that be. All the colors of nature just in one spot. Loved it Mary. Your goal was accomplished!
Nature is always inspirational. The colors of your soap turned out beautiful and I can see why you enjoy making it. Really nice video also, so soothing, thanks for sharing.
I love this video. The hike in Maine looks like so much fun. I'm just about 1.5 hrs from the Maine/Canadian border and have visited there often, is a beautiful state. I love how you get inspired by nature.
Wowzers!!! What a beautiful area you were hiking in. Your hair is so pretty & long! Your soapmaking, knowledge and capability is fascinating. Keep up the good work.
I climbed Mt Katahdin years ago.Absolutely breathtaking, and strenuous but well worth it. I love seeing you with you hair down. Didn't realize it was so long. Very pretty.
Thanks so much for sharing your hike. Everything was so beautiful it didn’t even seem real. What wonderful Inspiration, the soap turned out so beautiful, I’m impressed. I don’t believe I’ve ever seen live reindeer moss before!😮😊❤ I also love brown paper packaging!
I love the beautiful colors they turned out to be !! Watching you make soap looked so fun ! I make goat milk soap you inspired me Mary !! And it’s so great for your skin! I’m not a chemical person I’m like you Norwex and all 😊
Mary, I just love your purity. You love nature, and you did an unbelievably great job of capturing what your eyes saw on your hike.

You teach people how to live…each day is a gift. Thank you

My husband thinks you should sell a box of all your soaps together in one box and call it The White Cottage Collection. Just beautiful!
Mary, you captured the colors of the reindeer moss and stone and other nature perfectly! Wish I could smell them!
I also love Maine....so beautiful there.
Loved the hike footage! Your soaps could be part of a “ Nature series”. They are amazing!
