We sell ten different soaps in the shop. All from India, high quality, 100% vegan. And unfortunately, we’ve learned they are past the manufacturer’s “Sell By” date. But does soap really expire? We’ve used them, customers have used them, nobody is complaining. But we decided it’s time to clear the shelves, so we’ve cut the price in HALF for all soaps! Your cost is 75 cents to $3.50 (no additional discounts) on soaps that retail at other places for up to $10.00 a bar! See the below PDF for details. Soaps

Store Policies – Revised 04-2022
Horsefeathers Store Policies Updated 12/19/2022 Updated December 2022: With the virus still with us, but with more people vaccinated, we’re changing our store polices to reflect all of that. All policies have been put in place for a reason; some will be happy about them, others not so happy, some won’t care, and we realize this. We’ve really put a lot of thought into these changes and feel they are for the best, especially when it comes to health and safety. Some may change in the future, but for now, these are our store policies. If you want a reply to your comments or questions it’s best to email us…

Explanations
All those flags! For Pride we have 18 flags representing various aspects of the LGBTQIA+ community. We posted explanations and background on every flag plus an additional 16 pages of details. The attached PDF will give you all of that information. We hope this helps to bring to light a more complete view of what it means to be part of the Queer Community! We still have work to do on the flags, but once done, they are a permanent part of the front of our store! Details on Horsefeathers Pride Flags

Masks required on some days after 3-1-2022
This store policy replaces all previous mask policies. Per current CDC guidance if “community level” is low, masks are optional. If “community level” is medium, masks are recommended for high-risk people. Both the owner and manager of Horsefeathers, as well as many of our customers, are high risk. Each day we will check the CDC website to see what the community level is for Lake County IL. If it is low, masks are optional but preferred. We would love it if you wore a mask, but they are not required. If it is medium or higher, we will require masks in the store. Masks will be provided if you do…
