[@ellenloveeggleston3251]

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!

[@shellydehart8217]

You said this beautifully. My words exactly. ♥️😊👍

[@edithwanner1849]

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 ! 😂😍😍

[@heathermacleod7068]

I couldn’t have said it better myself! 🥰🤗

[@jan-johannes-bosman]

Whenever I watch you, it reminds me of my one sister in law. Always pushing for a great endproduct.🤗🇿🇦

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.

[@janetbyrne7765]

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!

[@forrestgump9576]

I felt the same way! And, I was blessed to get soap making supplies for Christmas!

[@carollingle159]

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!

[@candijones9074]

Well done! Mary, your attention to detail is unmatched! The Lord has given you great talent.

[@deborahhuckaby4623]

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!!

[@buhawks17]

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!

[@shirleylindsay5586]

Wow. You got the colors just right.

[@charlenelindsay2019]

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 💞

How satisfying was watching this video 😍 I am a fan of natural soaps and the colors are perfect😘

[@leahrobinson3025]

It would be cool for the gray soap if it had some natural rough edges like the mountains!☺️

[@jovicrazed]

Making soap is such a relaxing process. I haven't made any in years but really did enjoy it. And, double salted Dutch black licorice is delicious.

[@cindybecerra1965]

I found this video to be very interesting and thoroughly enjoyed it. For the record, I think the Star Anise soap is a great idea.

[@benynellirempel5970]

But this is exactly how creative people think...😊

[@mrsj5890]

That soap is gorgeous! And great photos!

[@garymcdade4446]

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!

[@janeeberly4289]

Mary you can never go wrong with inspirations from nature. Love to see how you took your hiking trip in Maine and let it inspire your beautiful soaps!

[@araceligomez3735]

[@sandragutierrez3667]

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.

[@beckynelson6963]

Loved this inspirational video.

[@deech7566]

I would love star anise soap. But I love black licorice and the smell too

[@robinstevens4354]

Katahdin is in my back yard!🥰 I work as a seasonal Ranger at Baxter State Park and I would have loved to have these soaps in my cabin since they were inspired by the beauty that I see every day. Hopefully you’ll be making more soon. If you ever go back to Baxter look me up at Kidney Pond I would love to meet you in person. Love your work!

[@marybethbonci4715]

I am watching your Maine video. I am so excited that you all hiked in Maine! We live in Massachusetts; but have a small cottage in Maine! Our kids have been raised with Maine beach vacations. They love it so much, they both got married in Maine. Now our five little grandsons are loving their visits to "Nana's beach house". It made me feel so happy to know you visited our "happy place". And besides that, I watched this video after dropping off a package for you at the post! (Kindred spirits, I swear!)

[@KG-wd4id]

I like the fact that you are inspired by nature. God has created such beauty.
