Soap and more
Darcy Pendergrass and Heather Clark are enjoying their first holiday season as owners of Rough Cut Soap & Sundries in downtown Carlton.
They took over the shop from its founder, Tanya Brauckman, in August. Prior to that, they worked with Brauckman to learn how to make the colorful, scented soaps that give the place its name.
“It’s fun,” Clark said. “If you had asked me a year ago if I’d be making soap, I would’ve laughed. But I’m really enjoying it.”
Clark previously started a wellness studio and gym in Carlton. Pendergrass, who worked at Rough Cut Soap, approached her when she found out the business was for sale.
“Have I got an opportunity for you,” Pendergrass told her friend.
In addition to soap in scents such as limoncello and bay rum, they make a whole range what they call “Fundamentals,” including milk bath, shampoo bars, beard balm, facial tonic, and lip balm. They have added a new product, lotion bars.
In addition to invidual bars of soap and containers of other products, the Fundmentals come in gift packs. Several scented varieties are available.
The shop also carries a wide range of jewelry, household products and gifts. Everything is handmade, Clark said.
For Christmas, numerous ornaments hang from a small tree. The soft decorations come in a variety of shapes, many of them animals, from chickens to tiny sock monkeys.
Earrings and other jewelry are displayed along with items such as glass bud vases in bright colors. Magnets and a host of other decorative items are available.
Rough Cut Soap at 223 West Main St., Carlton, is open from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. through the holidays. During the rest of the year, it is open 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Thursday through Monday and closed Tuesday and Wednesday.
The shop also sells its Fundamentals through a website, roughcutsoap.com.

Funds for food

It was part of $2.2 million in donations OnPoint made this year to over 277 non-profits in Oregon and Southwest Washington. OnPoint officials said the recipients “address the most critical needs” by focusing on diversity, equity and inclusion, education, and services for vulnerable young people, individuals and families.
The Oregon Food Bank helps supply YCAP, which in turn distributes food through local food banks around Yamhill County.
