99 Bottles of Beer On The Wall




Z CHOCOLATE MINT



SO.....

The song 99 bottles of beer on the wall

 has been floating in and out of my mind for the last few weeks.

Perhaps because the song seems to never end.

And, as I prepare for our upcoming shows, the work seems to never end.

We have five shows scheduled for the spring so I've been a busy bee.

Over the last few months I've made,

113 lip balms

26 body butters

31 bath oils

96 bath teas

300 bars of soap (I think, sometimes I get lost)

I'm probably good on most of the soap till June,

everything else I'll make as needed.

With spring soon to be here for real,

the ladies will be thinking about wearing their sandals,

 and then realize they have sandpaper feet.

Body butter to the rescue, I guarantee!!

I think I have things covered, at least for the moment!

And, as I've been busy as a bee and

thinking of endless bottles of beer, guess what?

WAIT FOR IT....

I landed another store account!!!

Yeppers, I sure did!

Shabby Sheek Boutique in Texarkana, Texas. (Google them)

This makes three total.

I'm so proud of me....

Slowly but slowly I shall make this venture work and

before I know it,

I'll change my name to Tyler Durden and

 have a whole army of people making soap for me!!!

You  know, the movie Fight Club.

(I choose to believe they were only making soap.)

And who pays $10.00 wholesale for a bar of soap anyway?

Lead me to them!!!

And what I wouldn't give to have that army

working in my herb beds. ( I really don't like pulling weeds!)

So here's to a successful spring!!!

Anyway. I've been offline so to speak, for far too long,

I'm off to see what you' all have been up to.

Till next time,

OH YEAH,

If you have a ruptured eardrum,

don't go to the emergency room,

find an urgent care facility!

$250.00 versus $100.00

Just thought you would want to know!!!

SOAP, SOAP AND MORE SOAP!!!

WOW....

It's been a very busy weekend.

I have a show coming up at the end of March so product making was in order.

200 lip balms, 36 body butters, 60 bars of soap.....

that's just a start, I still have bath teas, bath oils and more soap to make.

I'm also revamping my show display. Most of my display pieces are

made of wrought metal so changing the look is quite easy.

Krylon is my best friend.
I'll post picks when I get everything finished.



ARE YOU GOING TO FIX ME?



I'm still working on the floor lamp and yes, I did find the missing piece.

ALMOST THERE!!!

Well it's time for me to re-enter that other world (work)
so I'll have to cut this short.
What was your weekend like?

Till next time,
Bonjour

Soap, Soap & More Soap



SOAP DISPLAY



I KNOW...

Time just got away from me.

Fall is one of our busiest times for The Soap Co.

I have 2 more shows for this month, 1 in November & 1 in December.

Needless to say there has been a lot of soap making going on at this place.

Last week we were at Cedar Hill's Country Day & tomorrow we'll be at The Ennis Fall Festival.

I love doing the shows! Everyone has a party attitude & I get an opportunity to see a myriad of other crafts & talk to a lot of great people. 

  In the booth next to us at Cedar Hill there was a 15 yr. old girl who did Duct Tape crafts. She had wallets, headbands, beautiful roses with long stems that you could wrap around your wrist to fashion a bracelet....

I was pretty impressed with her, at 15 she is running her own business with an Etsy Shop to boot.

She wanted some of my products, I wanted some of hers, so we traded. There's always trading going on amongst the crafters. My friend Loretta came by for some soap & I got some of her corn relish & apricot raisin chutney. 

We had a really good show &  I'm looking forward to tomorrow's, but right now I have to go & make some body butters & bath oils.

Till next time,

Bonjour
