I've been dreaming of the day I could have my own acreage since I was a teenager riding and competing in the hunter/jumper ring. In 1998 I started to help some local rescues with fostering their dogs and helping place them. In 2000 I got my first Border Collie, a black and white female and...- breconbcs

Quote: We did pretty good - $163. The first almost 2 hours was not the greatest as we had a quick thunderstorm that last about 1/2 hour and then had to wait for people to see it was over to start coming out. But once it cleared up, the market was busy and we had lots of people stop by and... -

okiegirl, I'd love to try your recipe for my daughter. Quote: Morgaine, I use both natural and Lab Colors. Last week I was trying to work with the Lab ones and messed them up. That and I think I added to much blue mica and it turned the soap black. I think it was just one of those... -

Last week I don't know what was going on - every soap I made the colour didn't turn out. My Georgian Breeze looks more like it should be called Georgian Storm (it's purple, black and copper/goldish looking) just to give you an idea. The last batch I made I left natural so not to "waste" the... -

BB - the soap looks good. Morgaine, how did the OMH soap turn out? We went to the FM today. It was great - sunny, hot and a really good flow of people. They even put on live music so we got to hear some good musicians while we chatted up customers. Here is a picture of the table and DS... -

I've just finished catching up. chicknwhisper, congrats on the FM. Sounds like you had a great start. From going to various markets here, I see most people have their sign put on the front of their tents, one person had their sign painted right onto their tent. That black... -

Morgaine, those soaps look great! As for the scents, I agree with BB. If it's one you use alot of I'd see how cost effective (shipping wise) it is to buy in larger quantities. For me I have found it is cheaper, I always try to add light stuff or 1 oz "sample" amounts of new smellies to test... -

Welcome to the list Dude! My lye finally arrived today so I'm soaping again. I tried that Strawberry Red colouring. When I added it just before trace it turned peachy/orange and seized. So it'll be interesting to see what it turns out like when I unmold it as I still attempted a swirl... -
