About six weeks more until our big day and wedding favors are on the list to take care of. So…off to the Soap Store with one of my favorite friends. Sarah has happily volunteered to make our wedding favors for us.
She will be creating a small bar of homemade soap for our guests to take home with them. Our bride has chosen a two toned bar of soap using the colors of green and purple.
I will purchase the supplies needed with a few extras for Sarah to do what she wants with. We are so very blessed that she will tackle this project for us.
Sarah has fallen in love with making soap, and now I know why! You can’t help but want to make it yourself after being in the soap store. The finished bars are so beautiful and fragrant. What a fun trip!
The store is called Greencastle Soap Company and their website is http://greencastlesoap.com . It is located in Spokane not far off Division and Sprague. Part of the reason for the soap trip was so my son could see what soap making was all about.
He wants to sell soap to make money to spend on his honey bee business. I’m not sure of the logic behind this but I’m always glad when the children want to learn something new. And… if it keeps them away from the computer and TV longer it’s a big plus.
Our sales lady was very informative and had great tips and advice for those of us who know nothing about making soap. We were able to smell all kinds of oils that made up a variety of fragrances and see the different colors you can use for coloring your soap bars. My son had his notebook in hand, writng down prices and what tools he would need. Now he knows how much money to save up so he can get started in his soap making business.
Our sales lady asked who he would be selling to so she could help him decide what fragrance to purchase. I had to laugh because his sales will be to mom, sisters, grandmas and probably to all his friends mothers and sisters! He is determined… Of course I picked out my favorite fragrance, knowing I’ll be using lots of homemade soap in the near future. :~)
Will you do favors at your wedding? What have you decided on?
