Seriously. Sort of.

She's been making soap, candles, and some other bath and body products lately and is trying to get a little side business going to sell them. She is having an open house next Saturday, February 6th, from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. and wanted me to give all of you and your significant others an invitation to stop by if you want. We're right off of 120th and Colorado Blvd. in Thornton. If any of you and/or your wife/girlfriend/sister/daughter/mom want to swing by, shoot me a PM and I'll give you the address. I'll try to get some pictures and more details up over the next several days.

Thanks.

I wish.

Lol. I'm thinking probably not.

She doesn't crochet or knit near as much as she used to. I'm afraid we may not see another hippo any time soon. [gohome]

In all seriousness, eucalyptus/menthol/citrus shaving pucks. Good lather with hard water (ie; glycerin, lanolin...). A Pringle can will work as a form.

Doubt I can make the soiree. But interested in the product line.

Maybe if you lived closer...I will talk to my wife. She isn't much for scented items in the house, but maybe my daughter will be interested.

I'm too far, or my wife may beg me, or drag me there....

But the above is WIN... Host a keg in the garage, or at a neighbor's... Or in the alley behind your house...
You may just break even after giving away beer, but the memories will live forever!!!

I'll pass that info along. She's done a couple of shaving soaps. I really liked the first one she did. I thought it was better than the second one she did. Thanks.

She should get a table at the Tanner. She could sell her products and you could spend her profits. Win-Win.

There is a growing market for quality soaps. Has she looked into marketing her products yet?

She should join Nextdoor in your neighborhood and put up an ad there.

Are you going to make two trips? Or show everyone up and just make one.

The embarrassing part would be when they leave together, while he's sitting there like an abandoned dog . After they placed an order for the Long Tapered candles, unscented of course.

Cash and check for sure. We're going to try to get set up to take cards tomorrow. I'll update if we're successful.

I always kid her and tell her I'm going to eat some of it. Especially the soap that smells like pumpkin pie. Lol.

Ray, Mrs bo asked if the candles are scented and if so what scents are available? She is very interested in purchasing some but will not be able to attend open house.

Yes, the candles are scented. Most of them have wooden wicks as well. They kind of make crackle noises when you burn them. I think that's pretty cool. Kind of reminds me of a camp fire.

Taking a quick look, some of the scents are warm vanilla sugar, lilac, plumeria, honeysuckle, summer melon spritzer, brown sugar and fig, love spell, pure seduction, vanilla mint eucalyptus, black raspberry vanilla, and probably other scents as well.
