New Item: Rainbow Star Soap


Product: Rainbow Star Soap
Weight: 2.75 ounces
Color: Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, and Purple
Scent: Dream
Price: $3.00

This new item is a beautiful and very colorful star. It is a good size for bathing with, especially with its shape offering a good way to grip it. The center color varies as I make them in batches of six using the parts to make six separate ones with each color being a center for one star and the points being the other five colors.

New Item: Black and White Penguin Soap


I have had penguin soaps in my soap store for a long time, as I am a penguin lover. I also really like seeing realistic penguins and it has been bothering me for a while that my penguin soaps were not all that realistic with my stock color being blue. I kept shying away from making them all black because I just did not like the option of them being a boring black unless they also had the white to look real. I finally found the time last weekend to experiment and I now have more realistic penguins available for sale in my store here. Note that they are $0.25 more than my regular blue penguins because they do take more effort to make than a simple one color pour of blue.

I Will Be at Catapalooza in Tucson, AZ October 4 & 5, 2009

I have signed up for another show this October. It is actually the weekend before the first show I signed up for, which is Butterfield Days in Benson, AZ. The Catapalooza Event is in Tucson at 10700 E. Tanque Verde Road. The event is a benefit event for the Casa de los Gatos cat shelter, but it is free to attend. The show's flyer says it is from 10am to 6:30pm on Saturday, October 3 and Sunday, October 4, 2009, however I think it ends earlier than 6:30pm on Sunday because the vendor rules say break down must begin by 6pm. I will have similar stuff as at Butterfield Days, but this event is at least in Tucson and not out in Benson, so it might be easier for some of my local patrons to get out to. As always, though, if you cannot wait until October to get the soap or will not be in the area to stop by my booth at the show, then you can click on the names of the designs below and order them on my website.

They are all $1.75 each, except the bunny design is only $1.25 each. Easter is coming up a week from Sunday and there is still time to order and receive them in time. I expect that orders made my Monday and maybe even Tuesday should arrive in time for Easter. The new designs are picture below.

Animal Dome Soaps and More Big Egg Colors for Farmer's Market Tomorrow

Tomorrow, March 25, 2009, I will be bringing some new soap items to my booth at the Green Valley Farmer's Market. I recently got a cool dome shaped soap mold that is perfect for embedding small toys in. I made two with fish in them and one with a lizard in it. The three can be seen in the photo below (click on photo for larger view). The two blue ones with fish are scented ocean and the lizard one is yellow and unscented. The soaps weigh about 4.25 ounces and are priced at $5 each. It is $0.50 more than my other 4.25 ounce soaps because of the added cost of the toys in them, which I think adds more than $0.50 of value because you have something left when the soap is finished.



Also, new this week are some more colors of the larger Easter egg soaps. I already have been bringing some purple and yellow ones. Now I also have some pink and orange ones and the big eggs and small eggs are each getting their own baskets this week instead of being crowded into one. All the egg soaps are unscented.

Large Easter Egg Soaps for Farmer's Market Next Week



Next Wednesday, March 18, 2009, I will be bringing some of the larger Easter eggs glycerin soaps I make to the Green Valley Farmer's Market. The Large Easter Egg soaps weigh about 1.5 ounces and are priced at $1.75. I have so far made just yellow and purple ones. I do not know if I will be able to get more color batches done before next week, but I do plan to have green, pink/red, blue, and orange available by the Wednesday before Easter. I am doing all of the egg soaps as unscented. If you would like to request scented ones, then you can order through Kjscrafts.com or fill out an order form at the Farmer's Market and I can bring them the next Wednesday.
