New Curing Rack...Yippie!

I have been dreaming of getting a bakers rack for a long time to use as a curing rack for my soap.  I was finally able to get one and it just works perfectly! I love how it has wheels and I can roll around the room if I need. It also has plenty of shelves, so I can fit a lot of soap in the rack.

I found this rack at www.webstaurantstore.com you can find the rack I got here. I would highly recommend that store as they have very good prices and quick shipping. I also bought a stainless steel cart with 2 shelve and they have stainless steel work benches for a very good price as well.  Those are the next items on my wish list!

Soap studio tour

Who doesn't love to check out other people's work space?  I am a sucker for it and can spend hours trying to find pictures of other soapers work areas. Mostly for ideas on how to better arrange my supplies. So here are some photos of my space. I have since rearranged things and bought some new carts/curing racks, but that just means I can show you another set of soap studio photos at a later date! Enjoy the tour!

Easter Basket

My mailman request an easter basket of goodies last weekend. I made up a couple for him to choose from and wanted to post a photo of one. I really like the way it turned out. I hope more people will request similar type baskets in the future. It was really fun to put together. It also helped me to get motivated to wrap lots of soap. Hopefully, I will start making more sales so I will have room to make more products. I just purchased a bunch of rubbermaid containers today and organized my soap studio a bit. I still need to get a lot more containers though. But, the studio looks much better and I have a lot more room on my work table to get creative. I also made a ton of flyers this week that I will be posting around the area and sending to friends to put up. Lucky for me that I live on a college campus filled with very "earthy" people that I imagine would like my soaps.
