Monday Show and Tell




Show and Tell Monday...Woot !
Well it has been one busy busy week at the cottage. Trying to get things made, get things out and get things cleaned up. It has been a time of going in many directions, some of them at the same time. This hasn't ever happened to you has it?
Usually I take the summer to prepare for my busy season...okay, usually I SAY I'm going to take the summer to prepare and usually it's too hot, I'm too tired, we're too busy etc. etc. etc. Business as usual :) So I am making soap...that is my cocoanut oil soap pictured...making candles, getting potpourri stirred up and bagged, making gift baskets, sigh. Ohhhh not to mention getting ready for the PINK RETREAT !!! Hey no wonder I'm tired.

How has your week been? It's difficult to realize it is right around the corner when the temperatures are still in the 90's. Are you ready for fall?

My wish for you: May you always know which direction to go and may you always get where you are going.

Hi Francie!

You are so thoughtful to come over and ask about my Mama! She's doing a whole lot better after all that sickness. I got your little email the other day and have meant to write you back, but I just got behind on everything. I'll catch up this week. I love your shell soaps ~ I bet they smell wonderful!!

Lots of hugs, Bebe :)

The soaps are lovely and I like your basket arrangements. We have a nice cool Fall day today here in CT. I'm starting to get the bug to plant Mums, etc.

Are those hands holding the egg? What a great idea for soap! And coconut soap sounds heavenly!

Francie, your projects are looking great. Is that a gourd candle I see tucked in the basket? Coconut soap, yum!

Francie you are sooooo right about going in a hundred directions. I want a big arrow to point and say "this way dorkwad!" Hee,hee,hee. I can't believe it's September either. Still to hot here.

Doesn't Sept. just sort of sneak up on us? I really like the harvest pumpkin and did you say coconut soap? I am a coconut freak! I have to say, I will be anxiously checking the mail this week. Thank you again! hugs :)

Hey Francie!
I love your pink and aqua soaps.
They look luscious!

Big hugs!

Your soaps are so pretty and those baskets are right in line with the dipping temperatures here. Last week it was hotter than blazes and now... nice, with a bite in the air.

Don't work yourself to a frazzle.
