The week "after" we make plans, and head to the Internet!

Friday May 23, 2014

Per usual we blinked and a week has passed!  

We have spent the week taking baby steps, seemingly silly stuff, but all seem to be necessary if we want to progress.

we opened a joint bank account, 

which we needed to take payments using "Square" (credit card scanner that works with a smart phone)

and

we needed to open a Pay Pal account for Soap Lily.  

and

we needed to take payments online when we activate our Etsy account (SoapLilySoaps)

which we needed to sell more soap!

If you have ever done any of the above you know that it's not as easy as it sounds, ok opening the bank account was pretty simple, but all the other "steps" were filled with details and new passwords, and secret hints and things that at this point we have to write down or risk losing our minds.

So while we haven't made soap, we've thought about it.  Our supplies arrived yesterday so we are "back in business" and will be making soap this afternoon.  Hopefully we will be  posting pictures of our latest creation soon.

At the urging of a customer last weekend we looked into the Main Street Farmers Market in Clayton and am happy to say that we will be there tomorrow from 9 - 12.  The market is located in front of Butlers II gallery and consists of local purveyors of fresh, natural products like bread, honey, goat's milk etc.  If you are near Clayton please stop by and say hello.


By the way - we did make a batch of a hot process soap today scented with baby powder scented fragrance oil.  It is such a nice clean baby smell!  The soap should be ready for use by next Friday.  Isn't it cute?!
