Pics for my website - Grand Opening is in 5 days!

[AshleyR]

Here are a few pics of the soaps I'll have for sale on my website on June 30th (my Grand Opening is finally here! After 6 months of planning!)

These are the ones I'm starting out with. I plan to have about 20 varieties plus some B&B stuff. More to come in the next month or so!

"Cool Waters"

"Rosemary & Mint"

"Sea Mist"

"Sweet Pea"

"Tea Tree & Green Clay"

"VS Love Spell Type"

"Oatmeal Milk & Honey"

"Bastille w/ Shea Butter"

"Calendula & Silk"

"Citrus Carnival"

And a "reject" for my "Scratch & Dent" page - this is the batch I had to cut out of my "non-stick" mrdoright123 mold.... so the soaps are all different shapes and sizes. Still great, just not as pretty as the others!

"Lavender & Oats"

Gorgeous, hefty bars Ashley! And I love your colours. The Calendula & Silk is very pretty, but the stand out for me is Sea Mist....wowzer!!!

I find it hard to believe opening day is so close! Wow - it seems like just last month you were asking Lindy questions about the subsidy programme....your pics are great as usual and will look awesome on your site.

Thanks!

It was around March that I started the program... I just finished 9 weeks of it! It was really great - I suggest anyone in Canada look into it (it's called the "SEB Program" where I am (Ontario), but in BC they call it "SEP" I believe).

When are you opening for business Tanya? I know you have already been to some markets and stuff - but do you have an official grand opening date? Will you have a website?

They look perfect! Great job!

I absolutely love the size and shape of those bars. Faves are Sea Mist and Cool Waters and I always love Oatmeal, Milk & Honey. Do you have MP added to the Sea Mist?

 

[LJA]

Good luck, Ashley - they look beautiful.

 

[soapbuddy]

Pretty!

 

[zeoplum]

Wow! How beautiful! That's a great variety....enough to please everyone. I am so happy for you and the BIG DAY. Will you be advertising your web site online or will it be mostly used by your local customer base?

Oh and what width did you finally decide on for your bars? Are those 1 1/4 inch? From the pictures, they almost look like 1 1/2 inch.

wonderful job!!

 

[AshleyR]

Thanks everyone!

Gramma Judy - nope there is no M&P in the Sea Mist. I poured the layer of white first, then the blue, then dipped a knife in and out of the mold to bring the white up to make it look like waves.

zeoplum - they are 1 1/2 inches. Pretty thick, but I like them! I know some people may find them a bit big, but in that case they can just cut them in half if they really want to!

Everything looks very professionally done. Beautiful colors and the scents sound great too.

With the size of your bars customers would really feel like they got their
$$$$ worth.

Best of luck with the opening!!

Thank you thank you! I should have had more soaps for my grand opening... but you all know about my fug-ups a few weeks ago. That set me back! I'll be adding more soaps regularly though - I'd like to have about 30 different kinds eventually.

MsBien - I'm selling them for $5-$6 each. Some are $5.25 and some are $5.75. I got new molds about 3/4 of the way through making all of these soaps, and some are a tad bit larger than the other ones from my old molds. Eventually they will all be the same size once the smaller ones sell out, and they'll all be $5.75.
