Don't Forget!

Hey everyone!  I've been busy making soap, wrapping soap, etc. for my show coming up.  You get the picture so I haven't had much time to post, but here goes.  I've made a batch of lemongrass, spearmint and lavender since the last time I wrote here.  I've also been working on potty training my 2 year old son.  Let's just say the soap making is going much easier. (LOL)  Anyway, hope you are all doing well.  I wish you could see the view from my kitchen window.  I'm going to post a picture, but it doesn't do it justice.  It's a beautiful cotton field ready to be picked!  Even though it's not as hot here as it has been I can't wait for some cool weather to come our way.  98 degree days are starting to get rather old if you know what I mean. 

Isn't this lovely!

Lemongrass on the curing rack.  Smells Wonderful!



Festival Time!

The smell of Fall is in the air, festivals abound.  It's that time of year again when the leaves begin to change color and let go of the trees, children get excited about Halloween, the air is a little cooler and soapers get busy making soap.  Fall festivals are all around and I have to have enough to go around!  As I sit writing this and drinking my second cup of joe I have rampant thoughts of my first festival of the season running through my head.  It will be the Hahira Honey Bee Festival on October 8th and 9th.  This is the first year I will be attending this particular festival and I'm very excited!  I will be sharing a booth with a friend who has a brick & motor shop in town that carries hand made jewelry, handbags, personalized embroidery, and childrens' educational materials, and of course Southern Pine Soap.  So many things to do and plan.  Must do an inventory and see what kind of soaps I need to make, new ways to dispay said soap to catch the eye of the festival goers, getting soap wrapped and labeled, and so on and son!  I love  this time of year!  I hope we do well and have lots of fun too.  I better get up and get busy!
