Couldn't Resist

I recently passed s soap display that brought back a flood of childhood memories...


Pears soap... (Established in 1807 - so it's been around a long time.)

The memories? Pears transparent soap bars were the only ones I ever saw in a childhood friend's home. 

Were they a luxury? My mother (always thrifty) never purchased them. I remember examining them in fascination. They had a slightly medicinal scent. Why were they so transparent?

Thinking of my good friend, Jean, whose family always used this soap, I bought a box...


Because of the memories.
