Hi there!!
Yesterdays show day was a success!
Sharon and I had a great day talking to people about goats milk soap and doing our demo!
Sharon even unexpectedly sold a goat!! (No we didn’t bring one)(Hence the unexpectedness)
Sharon had a big basket of lovely pure natural bars of soap and a smaller basket of her lovely creative soaps – some from classes and others she made. Lots of people were interested in the workshops so hopefully there will be more dates locked in soon!
I hogged most of the space with a lot of soap. 🙂
Again it was rather nice seeing it all displayed out!
The dragonfly soap sold well, so did the lemongrass essential oil soap, the chocolate soap and, interestingly, the honeysuckle that I thought was a bit strong.
People also really liked the slabs of soap!! So, note to self… will do more of those!
Our demonstration went well!! Sharon got momentarily sidetracked with the headset mic and swung into some karioke YMCA with actions to a slightly unsuspecting audience… but then we got into it haha
Margie and her friend Chris came along which was awesome and Kirrily turned up with her new fiance (wow) to buy soap and cheer us on.
Sharon did a great job of explaining the basics while we put together our mixtures. (We pre made the lye and had all the ingredients pre measured)
Sharon made a wonderful tray of soap with some natural clay colours and allowed people in the audience who were interested to come up and decorate the tops with dried flowers or poppy seeds…or both!
I on the other hand went for a complete contrast with one of my loud happy hippy 70’s mixes – will have to take a snap tomorrow!
I also brought along a loaf mix so people could have a go at cutting it!
I rather liked this effect!
Almost like ice cream cake!!
Anyway, it was a long day but pretty fabulous all around. I really enjoyed sharing a stall with Sharon and people were so enthusiastic about our soaps so that was really nice!
I know Sharon sold well and I am happy to report that I sold nearly $400 worth of soap yesterday!! Can you believe it??
The best thing? So. Much. New. Space… in the library to fill… already planning some more creations!
Hope your weekend was as marvellous as mine!
And here are some veggies just to show you that normal life stuff is still happening in the background!
Cheers!
Love your confetti ice cream cake soap!! Your new designs look almost too pretty to use. You may have started a new thing again like when you kept the pretty soap in a dish to look at. So much fun you are having creating.
Thanks Ramona!! I really am enjoying experimenting with the soap. I did another one tonight… about to post… its pretty late but I just had to test my new mould out!!
Am greatly impressed with your soaps. They look so lovely. When your ‘net is working, do an image search for soap rocks. TS Pink is a local company that makes soap that looks like various stones. Their website is very old, so an image search shows off their products better. A few years ago, I took an unwrapped bar to show some engineers that I was working with. They all were dumfounded that what I had was soap!
Ooooo – that sounds very cool. I’ll have a snoop!! Thank-you!
