RobinInOR Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 Hopefully $$$$ for me This weekend is my first full fair - 2 days. It's the one on the Rogue River, and it's such a nice setting. Last year I did great, so hopefully this year will be the same. This afternoon is setup.What's up with you - anyone making something new? Any interesting tests? Have a great weekend!

Wick'n'Wax Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 This weekend is orbs, orbs and more orbs. Or.......if the darn big wax melter I have to do them in, doesn't work in the way I want, then I shall spend the weekend listing that in the classies lolI'm trying to get it level at the mo, but I think they will end up more as bowls than orbs as I don't have a lot of wax in it.

Wick'n'Wax Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 Right, edit to that, NOT orbs The wax melter has 5kg (all I could afford) of 5055 in and its giving me about 1 1/2inches, I need about another 20kg of wax in it at least. I'm going to have to go and get some metal buckets instead and try and sell this somehow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rae_g Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 In my pot is some cold EZ Soy waiting to be turned into 8 oz jelly jar testers, but I don't know if I'll get to them since we're leaving town. :embarasse I'm thinking of bringing along supplies to work on lip products while we're gone. I must be an addict if I want to work on week-ends away from home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeavenScentU Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 I am finishing up gathering all my candles and soaps for a show this weekend. I hope it goes well. This will be my first show of the year. Looks like there is going to be lots of competition with 150 vendors. But at least I have shade all day. Wishing everyone luck with any shows!!!!

Scented Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 Not even I want to know what's in my pot! It's seedless though. I have to melt the wax and figure out what it all was lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been dying to try the Iced Gingerbread from Southern Soapers! I make gingerbread cookie man soap bars and was planning on getting some in a couple of weeks. Are you making soap or candles? I am hoping that is works in both as I want to have matching gingerbread soap and candles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wish I could help you out on the soap part, but have only tried the Iced Gingerbread in candles so far. I use Eco 135 and at .5 oz. pp, it knocks your socks off. I'm seriously thinking about dropping my current gingerbread and replacing it with this one. It's truly excellent! Rena Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use CB135 too so if it works in that it should be fine in M&P too! Been looking for a new gingerbread fragrance and its sounds devine!

Fire and Ice Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 I did a three day show this weekend. Setup in the pouring rain and one of my tables died but my church one I used. VERY hot and humid but my candles held up pettry well for soy and that made me happy. Didn't male a lot of sales but I got a new wholesale account on the my clamshells so I'm happy! Now to pour for the next show which is this coming weekend. Another 3 day show! Fire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crafty1_AJ Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 I have a huge "to pour" list that I can't seem to stay on top of, which is typical during market season. Need to pour Pears & Berries, Drakkar, Hot Fudge Brownie, White Cake, and Gardenia in paraffin. In the soy dept., gotta make BNB and Lavender Vanilla. Then it's on to pouring new fall scents. Trying to build up stock for upcoming fall shows and such.Then I need to make several batches of fall/holiday soaps. Made 9 pounds of pumpkin soaps last night. Apple soaps are next.Experiments? I'm doing several soap batches that are all the same except for the addition of different milks. One has GM, one has CM, one has sheep's milk, one will have buttermilk. Should be fun to test side-by-side. The mad scientist in me thinks so, anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
