I just received my order from Bleating Hearts Soap & Candle Co., a friend’s Etsy store. Everything is so pretty and yummy-smelling. Pictured above are French clay-tea tree oil soap, candy cane peppermint soap, cranberry bliss soap, and fresh spruce and black amber soy candles in coffee mugs.

Looks pretty good for something headed to the oven, eh?  Unfortunately, this is how the Hotlips Pizza vegan “foccacia” (I prefer focaccia) showed up, expecting to be eaten as is.

There comes a time in any relationship between person and bag when the person has to evaluate the bag’s quality of life.
