Things are hopping here

It’s been quite a few crazy weeks around here again. You too? We had a great time at Donna’ Market last Saturday and met some more great people. Thanks to everyone who stopped by, the funny jokes, and also to those who gave me some new projects to play with! I’m hoping to start on two of those next week. Tonight we will be at the Klein Oak High School Spring Fling Carnival to help them with a school fundraiser so we hope to see more of you again. My ankle is still healing though so hubby probably won’t let me play on the giant inflatables. Sigh. That’s life though. I’m sure this thing will be back to 100% percent before too much longer and I’ll be back to zooming around at top speed- yay!

As I double checked the checklist to make sure I had everything loaded for tonight, I realized that I hadn’t updated the website. Bad, bad Dorothy! So I am uploading a few pictures of the recent soapy fun I’ve had in the kitchen and praying they show here for your enjoyment too. Someone really should get going on that smell-o-vision already because these soaps smell heavenly! The only way you’re going to get to breathe in this awesomeness is to come see us in person.

The green and white this time is our Sage and Citrus while the cool rock-looking one is the revamped Cinnamon Swirl Soap. (Remember not to put that one on your face or “tender bits” unless you want one extra spicy wash!) You’ll also find below the new Peppermint confetti soap that has been a BLAST! I called this run of it a “split decision” set because I had started topping it with the panels embedded flat as had been requested. I just couldn’t help making a few stand up like shark fins towards the end- and they loved that look even more. So awesome and fun- I will definitely be keeping more of this around!

Come by and see us tonight at the carnival too. The street address is 22603 Northcrest Lane, Spring, TX 77389 and even my GPS directions thing can find it- hooray! Over the next few weeks we’ll be updating everyone on where to find us for April and May along with more soaping fun. See you around, have lots of fun this weekend, and keep smiling everybody. It confuses people 😉

Happy Washing!

Where to find us in March

I kept waiting on posting this until I could get a few more dates confirmed but I realized that might take too long. Patience is still one of those virtues I’m working on, I admit. 🙂 As of today, we are confirmed to be at these markets in March. I’ll save the April dates posting until I get more confirmations on them. Mark your calendars and come have a little fun with us!

Almost time for Donna’s Market!

I know spring is right around the corner now and not just because of the little sprouts shooting up in the soap garden. We love to get out to some of the spring markets and our kick-off run is usually with Donna here close to home. It is officially less than two weeks until Donna’s Market and that puts me into high gear. (That hysterical laughter in the background would be hubby’s opinion that I’m rarely sitting still as it is so it’s impossible for me to be in high gear- love ya honey!) This year, she has moved the event to a larger location with more parking for everyone. Mark your calendar for Saturday, March 16th, from 10-2pm and join us for a little fun! The location is in the Kroger parking lot at the corner of FM 529 and Barker Cypress Drive in Houston, TX. I’m planning to bring everything you see in the regular stock in our catalog section of the website in addition to a few new surprises. And, as usual for us at Donna’s Market, we’ll have a fun drawing going on but I will save the details of that for a blog post as we get closer to the event.

I know I have a blast chatting with the adults and being goofy with the kids while we’re out there but I’m not the only person who will be at Donna’s. Since I’m pretty big on helping out other small businesses, I wanted to take a few minutes to point out some of the awesome other people who will be out there that you might want to stop and say hi to. Here is the most updated list I have of people who committed to being there. We are partnering up with one of them, Angie’s Bits O’ Glass, and I will have a bit more info about them as we get closer so she can finish editing her website before I show you her gorgeous work! Without further ado, and with as little of my opinion as possible:

And these are just the ones I know the company info on! There should be something for everyone out at the market on March 16th so we hope to see you there! As soon as Angie’s website is finished, I’ll share more about my boothmate for this market & the Klein Oak one. I must get back to the soap pot now so I will sign out until the next time.

Happy Washing!
