Today's soap pot is going to be Island Coconut. At first, I was just going to keep this a summer fragrance, but so many people like it that I will keep it going. I sold my last bar yesterday at the Farmers Market!
This past week, I made Lemon and Honey, and White Sage. The White Sage looks beautiful! They both need to be cut. Hopefully, I'll get to that later today.
Pics to follow later.

How Much Do I Love My Soap Molds !!!
A LOT!!
I can pour at a thin trace, no leaking whatsoever! They are easy to put together. WAY easy to get the soap out!
Here's pics of me removing my latest batch of soap. This is a Lemon and Honey soap, using my Wheat Germ Oil Recipe.
In the two logs
First log ready to unmold
I unscrew the wingnuts and take out the threaded rods
Take away the two end pieces, and flop down the sides on the piano hinges
Lift my 20 inch log of soap unto the cutting board
Peel away the freezer paper and I'm good to go!!
And if anyone is interested in one of these molds, Ray made a couple of extra ones and I have one listed on Etsy

What's New On The Curing Rack ?
Well, there's an Herbal Rosemary
And an Oatmeal and Honey
For both of these soaps, I left an 8 inch log uncut. I am going to try to sell 8inch logs at the farmers market, see if anyone is interested. If not, I can still always cut the logs into bars.

Seaside Lavender
This is a soap that I made and put up for Sailfish Gulf Suites on Holmes Beach on Anna Maria Island in Florida. Check out their website, it looks like a great place to spend a week with your toes in the sand !!
These soaps are quarter bars, lavender scented.
