Born this day in 1471, Albrecht Dürer was a key artist of the Northern Renaissance. He was skilled in painting and printmaking, known for his detailed work. Dürer also wrote influential texts on art theory, which linked art to science and math. His art gained fame across Europe, and he became one of the first internationally recognized artists. Dürer’s work combined German precision with Italian ideals, influencing many future artists.

Less than two weeks away! We're bringing over 50 varieties of vegan, all-natural handmade soap and bath products to VeganMania Milwaukee, along with jewelry, pins, accessories, fine art prints, home decor, incense, candles, and so much more!

A few weeks ago we announced our first ever unscented bar soap and it sold out in just two hours! It's back and now's your chance to try "Quietly, Undramatically", our unscented, colorant-free, all-natural bar soap that contains only two ingredients: olive oil and goat milk.

Now we've added "Sworn to the Dark" to the unscented offerings. This bar is fragrance-free and has no added colorants or dyes. This vegan bar soap is packed with activated charcoal, making it a great addition to your skincare routine!

Whether you have sensitive skin, aversions to strong fragrances, or just like keeping things as simple as possible, our new unscented bars are perfect for everyone. Don't snooze on this, these will not last long!

We're excited to announce the new lineup of soaps for Spring 2024 and the return of some of your favorites from last year.

The new soaps:
• Velvet Thorns - a silky soft bar made with rich honey, sweet coconut, and creamy soft shea butter.
• Graveflower - a delicate balance of powdery and floral notes, intertwined with the earthiness of a hidden garden.
• Sworn to the Dark - the latest star in our fragrance-free soap collection, this bar harnesses the purifying power of activated charcoal to offer a gentle yet effective cleansing experience.
• Island Sun - a sweet and lemony fragrance, it features the zesty allure of lemongrass softened by a whisper of coconut.

The returning favorites:
• Mosquito Control - we loaded this soap with a fast-acting natural insect repellent blend of citronella, lemongrass, cedar wood and rosemary essential oils.
• Quietly, Undramatically - No fragrance. No colorants. No additives. Just olive oil and goat milk. You can't get any purer than this. The last time this one was in stock, it sold out in two hours!
• Song of the Siren - This soap captures the purest essence of the sea -- a scent blend of pure ocean water layered with shipwreck wood and musk.
• In The Rainy Season - this bar soap is infused with natural jasmine and gardenia fragrance rounded off with a green floral aroma that will linger long after you wash.

We've got a few other summery soap varieties in the works, so keep checking back!

Happy Birthday to Sean, the fan-tastic co-owner of Bleak Boutique! He brings enthusiasm to even the longest market days, and his expertise as "Soap Sommelier" is unmatched. Here's to another year of success and the sweet smell of happiness!🥳

This weather is perfect for napping next to an open window, but Queso misunderstood the assignment.

Circe (1888)
by Louis Chalon (French, 1866-1940)

Circe was a powerful sorceress in Greek myth, who was most famous for turning Odysseus' men into pigs when they showed up on her island unannounced.

Which is the best way to deal with unexpected visitors, tbh.

Available as poster prints and canvas wraps at bleakboutique.com

97 years ago, in June 1927, Britain was in the grip of eclipse mania. A total eclipse of the sun, the first to be visible in Britain for more than 200 years, was predicted for 29 June.

This photograph, taken by Astronomer Royal Sir Frank Dyson, is an excellent example of early astronomy photography and makes a great minimalist wall art piece.

Available in posters, rectangle canvas wraps, square canvas wraps, and framed prints, starting at $9.95.

We're down to just a few of our seasonal soap varieties left in stock! Now's your last chance to get your autumn and winter favorites like Witches' Wrath, Spell of the Winter Forest, and No Presents for Christmas before they're gone.
