More Cool Stuff

While I am plugging stuff, check out this kickass shower curtain from HomeVisions.



And though it isn't the fanciest, I am a big fan of this wire soap dish from Serafina. It offers the best "breathability" for handmade soap, thus extending its life.

Cool Sofa

Check out this awesome tub-inspired sofa available at Reestore!



It's a UK company, so I don't think I could get my hands on it without having copious amounts of expendable dough, but I can admire it from afar.

Pictures from the Punk Show

Here are a few pics from Saturday's show. We met lots of interesting folks, saw some awesome live music, bought some cool crafts, and sold some soap! It was a blast!

Our Where-Abouts This Week End

You see, there are people from Brooklyn. And there are people who have lived in Brooklyn for a long time and put real roots down. That's cool.

But then there are people who move to Brooklyn for five minutes from all over so they can CLAIM that their band is from Brooklyn, when clearly, it isn't. They are using the grittiness and hipness of Brooklyn for their own temporary gain. Not cool!

Folks in Danbury have had it with these posers and are taking action!

We'll be taking part in the flea market on Saturday.

The Importance of a Good Stick Blender

Some soapers enjoy the relaxation of hand stirring their lye mixtures and fats. I've often thought about doing this, too. But I am a woman with little patience, so the stick blender is my most invaluable soapmaking tool. When I first started making soap, I went through 2 stick blenders in a month. I bought inexpensive models and paid the price. The next time I went to Target, I went straight for the priciest blender they had. Smart move. I LOVE my KitchenAid! Quiet, reliable, 9 speeds, and fire engine red!

De La Soap

My friends and I were pretty addicted to De La Soul's, "3 Feet High and Rising" during our college years.

How can you go wrong with such classics as, "Me, Myself and I," "Tread Water," and "Potholes in My Lawn"?

There is something very uplifting about this trio. There wasn't a bad mood that De La Soul couldn't wash away. This is why I've dedicated my next soap to Plugs 1-3 from Amityville, NY. Given my pension for horror movies, their hometown is just a bonus.

I bring you De La Soap - Oatmeal, Milk and Honey scented soap with oatmeal on top.
