Now that I've got some EOs to play with, I'll have to try out some new combos, too. Thanks for reading my blog!

When I first started soaping, I kept all of my supplies in a plastic shoebox-style storage box. Then I got a three-drawer wheeled cart and thought I was set. Soon after that, I needed another cart. Now I have two 6 ft x 3 ft shelves and three wheeled carts full of soapmaking stuff! I make soap just for fun, too - I can't imagine how much room I'd be taking up if I needed to produce lots of soap!LatherBeSoapinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18018716091511424218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3373649330246824979.post-38819932449998885162012-05-08T03:31:42.178-05:002012-05-08T03:31:42.178-05:00I feel ya girl!

Last weekend I gathered them all up and counted 78 bottles and I don't even sell soap I just make it for fun. I am addicted to bath products and there are too many choices!!<br />Oh.. I just blended up a Lemongrass, Lavender and Tea Tree EO today. I love anything lemon or citrus :)<br />Now I have to get some peppermint and cedarwood... lolKimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10552175758875062291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3373649330246824979.post-33358211632232203352012-05-07T09:35:19.436-05:002012-05-07T09:35:19.436-05:00We must have just missed you or not been looking i...We must have just missed you or not been looking in the right places. We checked the main pavilion and the tables that were kinda scattered around the periphery, but I guess maybe there were some tables on the other side of the pavilion that we didn't see. Anyway, I'm glad that you had fun at your first event! And I totally understand buying soap from other soapmakers - I like to try new kinds of soap, too, and see what other soapmakers are doing!LatherBeSoapinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18018716091511424218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3373649330246824979.post-37701883607330889652012-05-06T14:32:43.825-05:002012-05-06T14:32:43.825-05:00Oh no!

And since it was my first kind of event, I did learn a lot about what I wanted to do with my setup, what people were looking for, and things like that. <br /><br />There was another soaper with a table there who was very nice, and I talked to her a bit and--even though my friend made fun of me--of course, I bought some of her soap. Nonsoapers don't understand why I would want to buy other people's soaps when I make my own haha.Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07215186591974830351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3373649330246824979.post-1876146004013449182012-05-06T08:06:21.445-05:002012-05-06T08:06:21.445-05:00Thanks for your comment, Gladly!

Cedarwood and patchouli is one that I would really like to try - I'm a huge patchouli fan, and cedarwood would pair nicely with it. It would be especially great for guys. My husband and I both went out to the Maker's Fair to say hi, but we couldn't find your booth! I'm sorry that we missed you, but I'm glad that you had a good day at the fair.LatherBeSoapinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18018716091511424218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3373649330246824979.post-52796025590401299332012-05-06T07:47:06.334-05:002012-05-06T07:47:06.334-05:00Thanks, Kalla!

Cedarwood and patchouli are very nice together. It was one of my most popular at the Texas Ave Maker's Fair, people loved it. It smells like... a piece of lumber, to me haha. But in a good way!<br /><br />I hit up that SMR sale too! But I got more herbs and powders than EOs. The grab bag was a nice surprise though. Wish I would've gotten the silk! I've been dying to try it too.Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07215186591974830351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3373649330246824979.post-8829470622904353152012-05-05T09:39:14.099-05:002012-05-05T09:39:14.099-05:00Thanks, Mom!

Lemon goes so well with herbaceous scents, so I really like the idea of lemongrass, basil, and rosemary, too.
