Mothers Day is coming!

[topcat]

Here are some of my Sweetpea Delight soaps which I have made, among others, for Mothers Day this year. I am planning on teaming a soap with a matching scented body butter and packaging them nicely for my next market.

The photo says "Mother'' to me - I have used some special items as props:

My Nanna's photo, taken when she was 17,
A lovely plate my aunt (mother's sister) was in the process of painting when she passed away,
My Nanna's pearls,
My DH's Grandma's bracelet,
And a glass trinket box my DD gave me for Mothers Day last year.

Thanks for looking!

Tanya - that pics makes me cry!!! It is so beautiful, so meaningful and just so real with a poignancy that simply touches the soul. That you for that and bringing the true appreciation back into Mother's Day. Wow!

By the way - did I mention I love it????

I agree with Lindy, timeless and eloquent!

That should be in the soap magazine!

So feminine and elegant! Lovely...

Your soaps are gorgeous! How do you get such an ash-free top surface? Is it the oils you use, or is there a special process when you insulate? Ash has been a big bug-a-boo for me. I usually end up trimming the edges, which means that I can't do a pretty top!

I LOVE your display! Very classy!

 

[Lindy]

That should be in the soap magazine!

I so totally agree! Tanya - you should send a copy of that to Saponifier....

 

[AshleyR]

I agree with everyone else - your Nana was absolutely beautiful, and your set up looks awesome!

I love the soap - super pretty - and I love your presentation even more. It's perfect. (Your grandmother was very beautiful, by the way.)

Oh, thank you so much everyone! I am so pleased (tickled pink actually...) that you all like my photo and I am surprised - even amazed - that so many people are finding it 'speaks' to them.....a happy accident, as I am definitely no photographer :wink:

Dixie & Lindy - I took your advice and emailed Saponifier Magazine on the off-chance they would like the pic, offering to let them use it if they thought it would suit......

And they are going to!!!! :shock:

It will be in the May issue
