Pleased as punch
by Zia ~ December 26th, 2007. Filed under: Soapmaking.The rabid (read: foaming at the mouth) soapmaking continues, and I have more soap than I know what to do with. I was thinking about selling the stuff, but have ultimately decided not to. Frankly, I can barely keep up with my accounting as it is; forget something where I have to track inventory and sales tax, too.
So what to do with all the soap?
Trade, that’s what.
I posted an ad on Craig’s List and got a bottle of homemade Kahlua.
Also, during the Georgetown Art Walk, I saw some lovely felted soaps made by Spiderfelt, and promptly contacted her to see if she wanted to do a trade: soap for felting for felted stuff. She needs more consistency than I can provide, but wanted to do a straight trade. Done. I loaded her up with soap today, and got this in return:
Funnily enough, I had fallen in love with it on her site, and she still had one. I’m so pleased.
Also, Becky, I haven’t forgotten to send you soap. I just haven’t gotten to the post office yet.

Hey that’s me! I was just looking up your address to share with my running buddy and soapmaker wannabe. I wasn’t expecting to see Stella and my scarf. So glad you like it! Your soap is worth it.

I love it, and I’m thinking I got the better end of the bargain! I’ll trade again anytime.

Hey Soap Fairy!
I’m also a soap maker, and I’m wondering if you wanna swap some of our creations for fun?
I’d love to try yours and send you some of mine
Drop me a line if you get a chance.
Best to you,
Erin
