Soap Store Transforming

Happy Memorial Day!
Let's not forget all those soldiers who have given their lives to keep our country free!

I wanted to post new pic's of my store's transformation. Hubby has built me some great new display shelving. Tons of an improvement over the flat eight foot table that the flea market gives you. For all those that don't know, Sybrina and I work at our booth at the Oldsmar Flea Market every Saturday and Sunday. Booth E26 East if ya'll want to stop by and sit a spell.
Anyways I digress, my new shelving!! Jeff brought the third one by this past Saturday, it sits at the back left of the store and of course I had to move some things around but it really looks great...will have more pic's soon. AND he's going to be building me at least two more for the left side of the store, I'm so excited!

Perpetually behind!

Have I said how much I love what I do? Well I do!! As for being behind well it's not too bad a place to be. You see we had our monthly craft show in Safety Harbor this past Friday and the amount of people around our booth was overwhelming! A huge Thank YOU to everyone who showed up and supported us, even the compliments were flowing and I appreciated each and every one of them. It really was a great weekend!
I've been busy, busy, busy making soaps for our next Craft Show coming up on June 6th, at Daisy Douglas Park in Safety Harbor from 11am to 5. You know I'm sitting here thinking that by the time we do the June 6th show the kids will be out of school! Wow.

I've got a few more scents done today for the solid lotion bars, Sweet Pea and Oriental Musk. I also just restocked the Cedar and Saffron (love that scent) that sold out at the show! Hopefully I'll have pictures soon, can't take them until the sun starts shining around here! However I do have a pic of my new hand lotions, taken by Sybrina.

Knights on Broadway

Busy, busy week! But first I have to crow a wee bit! My daughter who turned 13 (yes she's FINALLY a teenager~according to her~) Had a part in her classes first musical. All my toting her back and forth to practices the past couple weeks was worth it as soon as the show started. Oak Grove Middle School, put on a spectacular show! I'll admit a few times I got all teary eyed just thinking about how grown up my baby looked. This is from The Chorus Line, shes the doll in the middle!

Our Craft Show for Make a Wish

Last Saturdays Craft Show was super! TGI Fridays hosted the whole thing with all the proceeds and vendors money going directly to the Make a Wish Foundation. I was impressed with that, as usually the host will give a small percentage to an organization. After we'd set up, our host Rob passed each vendor a $10.00 certificate for lunch at TGI Fridays!! Heck forget the lunches we brought, Vic had a burger which was soooo big he couldn't finish and that's saying something. I had a chicken Cesar salad from their $5.00 menu. We had a great time, met lots of new people and want to thank TGI Fridays and Rob!!
We had a smaller set up because Vic and I were at TGI Fridays while Jeff and Sybrina manned the store.

We had a picnic!

Every once in a great while we all can match our schedules to get together. Today was that day! The backyard of my mom & dad's house. With my brother and sis in law, nephew Logan, all my kiddies and hubby and of course my Nana Ruth, here's a pic of Logan discovering the joys of ice cubes! I ate too much, no soap making and I just might have a craft show to set up for this Saturday! Yikes!!

New Soap!

Sometimes I just feel wild and zany and out pops a new bar, this one is an herbal bar I'm thinking we'll name it The Polar Bar. Those of us that live in hot climates like Florida, we welcome a cool shower to escape the days heat. And what better than a cool shower but a Polar Bar to go with it! Cooling Peppermint Essential Oil, Ginger Powder, Witch Hazel, if this bar doesn't cool you down I'd be surprised! I'll have the complete ingredients on my site when it's firm enough to cut.
