Thanks all! So, honey...I thought that would separate itself from the rest of the ingredients? Also, Susie, just those 2 ingredients? Very interesting! I did make a batch last night with eo's Light Patchouli, Lavender, Mandarin and Bergamot. It is...rustic...smelling (thank you Patchouli...

Hi all, I am hosting an Outlander event at my library (I'm a librarian) and I was going to give out some lip balms as giveaways to the guests at the event. I have made a few sweet lip balms in tubes, but I am trying to wrack my brain to think of a more rustic recipe in terms of smell/flavor to...

I am curious on this too. I am torn from a B&B makers pov. I have purchased from NDA, WSP, BB and MMS for B&B making purposes. I have been happy with all of those. I would like to purchase more "therapeutic" (I know that is a buzzword and possibly a fake thing but you know what I mean) blends...

Love your display! Fun experience I'm sure!

Elmtree, would your lotions fit in the dividers of a case of bottled beer? You could go by a liquor store and ask for a box with the divider insert?

I love your set up! Similar situation in my neck of the woods, almost all markets are producer -only. It was actually a baker who had told me about a market that I then contacted who said no you have to be a producer (I really wanted to gvie them the baking analogy...). Really, because of that I...

Susie, that is such a great tip about pouring only one tube until you get everything to your liking. Makes me think duh that I didn't think of that, great idea!

I got it through Amazon prime free shipping if you have prime.

I have been doing liquid oils in my scrubs but would like to start incorporating butters. I need to research on how to do that, if it changes the process at all. Lots of experimentation going to be going on round here with that! :)

I don't know, MzMolly. I have done a few shows, none were a 10x10 booth size, just indoor table size shows. Now that it is spring and I am looking to do some outdoor markets, I am intimidated by the whole 10x10 thing. I like the idea of sharing space, but what about just moving your table up...

Yes, I was able to salvage the top layer and then anything even close to the floor I vacuumed. I made sure to empty the vacuum before I sucked it up so at least my vacuum would smell of lavender for a bit. When I saw it, and the chilren', I was like Maya Rudolph as Donatella Versace on SNL...

Didn't know where else to share my lament that half a lb of lavender buds are on the floor courtesy of my 18 mo old... ;/

Indulge, I know its been a couple weeks, how did it go? Was the rain a factor?

Isn't that funny/weird that your sales doubled, wow! I know some are agricultural only, and for example, no bananas or pineapple since they aren't grown locally. But a baker acquaintance who I met at another show told me about a market she did and the contact person, and when I contacted him he...

It's getting to be farmer's market season here and in the Washington DC/surburbs area, there are LOTS of markets! Some (admittedly, the "cooler" ones) are producer only. I have done quite a bit of Googling on this topic and I guess because of the generality of the word, I'm not getting too far...

Well, MzMolly, depending on the show...that may not be a bad plan! ;)

Navigator, I bought a wooden crate from Michaels or Joann (with a coupon of course) that comes unfinished. I spray painted with black chalkboard paint but the possibilities are endless. I do exactly what you mentioned, I carry my product in it and then flip it up on its side and put product in...

I like the tray! I just use a pipette and fill it almost to the top of the actual tube (not top of the filling tray). It makes that little divot and sometimes I "top it off" with another tiny squirt or leave it. I never have excess on the tray that way! I am loving the idea of making the base...

Amen! I was actually lol'ing at myself alone one night this week because I was trying to convert a lot of lbs into ounces and I didn't have a calculator on me. I was like...this is sooo sad!!! :) I am the same way with "parts" too!

I made a sample batch of lotion bars last night and poured it into a 9×9 silicone pan. I went to cut a small corner today and it started splitting at the cut into the other pieces. I will admit that it is quite thin, maybe 1/4" tall. Is my problem the thinness (is that a word?:) or having it in...
