Soapin' Safari

Ok, no jungles here, but man oh man, have I got soap!

Next month the next town over (my town, kinda) has a harvest festival.  We haven't done a festival or a farmer's market yet, because we're so small (but we're getting there!) and can't afford to pay a lot of big bucks just to participate.  This festival has a very small fee to get a space, and I think it would be a good way to debut our little farm.  I would like to have lots of information about what we do here, some nice produce (depending on what's popping at the time), and soaps and candles, since I can make them and then know that they're on hand.  I've spent pretty much this past month making soaps, working on packaging and descriptions, and I have a way to go yet.  But before I put them all away to be ready for the festival, I thought I'd show you what I've got so far.

Ready?  Buckle up and put on your pith helmet!

Vanilla Oak

Saffron in Honey

Wasabi

Lorelei's Roses--named for my daughter

Antique Beeswax

Sunshine and Chamomile

Rockin' Raspberry Porter--this one is a beer soap

There's also a lavender, but I haven't cut it yet, so no photo.  I have a few more in mind, too, so there will be more pictures to share later.

Yep, I am enjoying this.  It is a great way to just express my artistic soapy side.  It's very relaxing to do, as well.  I hope we do well at the festival.  If not, we will be the CLEANEST family in Ulster County, bar none.
