I’m Valerie Silverthorne, the new editor of the Bath and Body area here at CraftGossip. I decided to post a picture of my pig Elvis because he’s probably the most interesting thing about me. Of course, he has nothing to do with bath and body, well, other than the fact he could use a bath and if we decided to eat him, we could render the lard. Don’t worry, he’s quite safe — smart, talkative and cranky, he’s the mayor of our small farm and isn’t going anywhere. But back to me: I’m a cold process soaper and dabbler in the other body products, I live in the northeastern corner of Massachusetts in the US, and as you might have guessed, I live on a small farm. I’m excited to be here and to share the fun with all of you. Please feel free to email me if you find something the whole world should know about or if you have any other suggestions, advice or ideas. I’m a journalist by training and a blogger about my own small farm, but this is my first venture talking about the wide world of soap and bath products.

Welcome to the neighborhood, Valerie! Hi, Elvis!! I hope you find us all sorts of good smellin’ stuff, because I’m a sucker for lotions (and candles). Have a good time with your columns!
