Thornefolk Solutions

“Soak your weary bones,” smiles a little skeleton in a bathtub. Handmade bath treats from a small women’s collective based in Connecticut, designed with goths, pagans, and fairies in mind. The packaging is wonderfully artistic: bath salts encased in “pixie sticks” or retro-decorated glass jars, fizzing skulls and flowers in Chinese takeout boxes, sparkling body balms and butters in old-fashioned slider tins(remember those?) Also herbal soap bars, bindis, manifestation bowls, and Morningstar incense.
