Spring Tour again

[Woodi]

I just spent two days selling soap at my artisan-friend Dawn's, here:

Here's Dawn, in her outdoor workshop, selling her rustic cedar tables, chairs, arbours, trellises. I'm inside her house, to the left up the ramp there.

I put the strongest-smelling soaps outside:

and I'm inside with the herbals, unscenteds and eo-scenteds. she generously gave me her whole kitchen.... this is my setup:

Looking out through the kitchen door, you can see more of Dawn's things:

and a longer view down her ramp:

Over this long weekend (celebrating Queen Victoria's birthday in Canada....a very silly old holiday), I sold a LOT of soap in the past two days, one more day to go. (I only sell soap bars). It's a fun way to sell, but not a lot of profit in it. (a spot on this tour costs $350. I keep reminding myself that I work for fun and friendship as well as money.

I can almost feel I am there. Not sure where in Ontario you were, but I was in Eastern Ontario last week, driving from TO towards Cornwall.

The twig furniture and soap setup are really great. It seems like the perfect ambiance for selling soap.

Thank you for sharing these pictures. I really enjoyed them.

Regards,

I am just west of Perth, ON.

I believe that is in the vicinity. Maybe one day in the future, we'll see your shop.

Well, tallying the soap bar sales, rose-sandalwood came out the winner once again, followed by lavender. I was surprised that unscenteds came a close third!....usually I sell very few unscented soaps. Perhaps it's the all-natural rustic setting.
