Peaceful River Trading Co. is hosting a gallery opening for artist and crafter, Tianna Herrick and Midnight Perfumery. The event will take place Thursday, July 25th from 4:00pm to 7:00pm at 302 North Salina Street in McCausland, Iowa.

Midnight Perfumery has been creating handmade body, hand & face soaps for over four years and her product line includes several varieties of scented body and home accessories. "My passion for making soaps began when my son's skin really improved for the first time in his short life. I began Midnight Perfumery roughly a year later.  We chose this name for our line, because I work on these soaps after my kids are in bed, many nights drifting well-past midnight." says Herrick.  "Choosing a technique, design, color pattern, scent and function of a soap is just fun...blending so many scents makes me feel like a perfumist The final soap design is usually inspired by the colors a scent makes me think of...sometimes this is a straight-forward choice and other times I choose to take some creative license.  Customers appreciate these soaps because they not only look beautiful, but perform wonderfully. I like to call them 'affordable luxuries," added Herrick.

Peaceful River Trading Co. Owner, Sheila Bosworth, is looking forward to the gallery opening, "Herrick's cold process soaps and scrubs are all natural and handmade. We're excited to have the opportunity to feature local creations such as hers."  Peaceful River Trading Co. offers a place for local artists and crafters to display and sell their creations.
