We decided to test batch at the end of our soaping day. With 40 lbs. of Cranberry Fig and 12 lbs. of Summer Hill under our belt early today, it was a treat to play with fragrance and color :) We had fun with a holiday fragrance, a pomegranate peach, a grapefruit, a honeydew melon and a special one for my hubby, Pinaud. Pipette's were flying around the soap kitchen as we swirled colors, blended fragrances and had a fun time winding down after a long morning. I'll try to post pics tomorrow after we uncover and cut our new little soap gems.
We've booked two more shows ~ one in mid-November and one over Memorial Day weekend. It's busy enough that I've asked a family friend to help out two days so far this week...and she'll be back again tomorrow for a bit. I'm hoping for a rainy day tomorrow...no laundry to hang out, no garden to till...maybe cut soap, do some custom batches and then read a book while curled up in a warm blanket.
Out of the Box samples are due this week ~ we're sending Sweet Dreams (Victoria's Secret Amber Romance type) and Coconut/Lemongrass. I love both of them and sometimes it's hard to choose what to showcase to potential customers. Many times, I go with my favorites, or what the time of the year reminds me of.
