dear blog,
my hubby and daughter set up a table at a flea market yesterday. i think they broke even money wise but they had a great day together, just the two of them and they both ended up with killer sunburns. my girl has the fair skin of a redhead (even though she's not a red head) and when i and the other kids caught up with them, she was hiding from the sun sitting under the table with her hoodie up over her head. dad wasn't complaining although his knees were so sunburned that the skin was swollen. some advil (for the girl) and aloe and bactine on both seemed to allow for a so-so night's sleep.
the mouse died. not drippy the four legged rodent, but the computer mouse.
why i started talking about the flea market is because at the flea market was a lady selling handmade soap. of course, because i make soap i wanted to check out the competition, so to speak. so i walked up and started sniffing all her soap. (lol) they looked like they were about 3 oz or so...no more than 4. out of maybe 15 soaps only two had strong scents (the clove and the peppermint). strike 1. soap, when you sell it to the public, has to be labeled - no labels. i asked her what she made her soap with, because she's selling it for $5.50 for a 3oz bar and i know she didn't invest in essential and fragrance oils and she tells me "....all natural base...". whoops...wait a minute sally. i'm not the type of person to call poeple out on stuff but i felt compelled. so i said "base?" and she goes on about this glycerine base and how it's so much better than anything else blah blah. strike 2.
