Monday Finds!

Monday finds! Monday's are not the most favorite day of the week....at least not for me. I've decided to turn a dreaded day into a shopping day! Every Monday I will share some of my Virtual Shopping, which I'm going to call Monday Finds.
I love finding art in inconspicuous places. I have always admired vinyl art and these really caught my eye. To see where to purchase, just click on the picture.
This adorable art is from vinylwalldesign. I think these would look great in a kids bedroom, bathroom...or in the hallway.
I just love this! ChuckEBrydWallArt made this subtle artwork. This would look great in my half bath!
Elephannie made this little chickie. I think I would buy more than one!

1000 Markets!!

I joined 1000 Markets a few days ago, and I'm really excited! I love their format and I'm looking forward to running my shop there.

It's free to list, and you only pay a percentage of what you sell.

Trunk Show Trial

My first trunk show is less than two weeks away and I think I finally have the table the way I want it. Above is a close up picture of one section of my "soap box". On the left are Gingerbread Men Soaps, and the right are my Denture soaps. These were added for a little "fun".
I have two of these candles on my table. I bought them a few years ago and they are battery operated. I thought they would add a nice "spa" touch to the table. *reminder....buy extra batteries!
Here is the middle of the table...you can see the candle "lit". My soap box holds so much soap (about 4 to 5 bars deep) that I have lots of room for other products on the table.
This is the left side of the table. I've already moved a few things around since taking this. I guess the "tweaking" is never really finished!
Now I have to pack everything up, and iron the tablecloth...whew!

And The Winner Is.....................

Congrats on your win, and thanks to everyone that participated! I will be having another Giveaway soon, so check back often!

My First Ebay Listing! Handmade Cold Process Soap Set

I listed my first soaps on Ebay! If you click on the picture of soaps, it will take you to my Ebay page. If you purchase this set, through Ebay, I'll refund your shipping costs!

Pick Three Handmade Soap - Cold Process Method - With Shea Butter - You Pick Your Scent

I decided to offer 3 soap bundles in my shop. I think it will take the guess work out of how many to purchase and you can't beat the shipping price of $4.75! I picked up this bucket at an Estate sale last year and I really like to use it in my pictures.
I used scrap paper to wrap my soaps in. The paper came in a bundle and they match in color and style, which I like!

Cool Art/Hot Jazz Festival

Here is our ShowMeEtsy booth. It was a lot of work, but also a lot of fun! I learned so much over the 3 days. We were a bit crowded, since there are so many of us! I didn't make much, but the learning experience was priceless. I also met several local artists who would also like to join our team!

Getting Organized

The boxes on the floor are empty. The shelf on the top has my mailing supplies.
See the ping pong table? This is where I was setting my soaps on. I had them in trays, which was ok, but I'm hoping to fold up the table to allow more space in the room.

DH brought some shelves home yesterday. They came from his warehouse (he is in the shoe business) and they transferred over to a new system so they were not using them. The shelves go all the way to the ceiling (8 feet) and are in our basement. I spent most of the day getting organized and getting all my soaps together. He also brought home new shoe boxes and I'm using these to store my cured soap.

St, Louis Lemp Beer Soap!

I made some Lemp Beer Soap the other day! I added some Happy Man fragrance to the bar and the combination is quite nice!
What is Lemp Beer?
In 1838 there was only one lager in Saint Louis, in fact, in all of America. Lemp beer! America’s first lager and still the best. Taste the beer that started it all! Lemp, America’s first, America’s finest and the original Saint Louis lager.
