June 27--Market Day

We will be selling at the Carroll County Farmers Market tomorrow, June 28 from 8am-1pm.

Come on out and see what vendors will be there this week.  Soap, eggs, fresh produce, emu products, plants, crafts, and the theme of the day is quilts.  There will be quilts on display and ongoing quilting demonstrations.
Aunt B's will have some new soap there fresh from the curing rack.  Pictured from left to right is:  Violet soap, made with infused spring violets from our yard, No fragrance added Aloe and Calendula Tea,  Eucalyptus and Peppermint and Orange Eucalyptus.

 We will also have with us a few of the Shaving Cream Soap bowls left over from Father's Day.

 

New to our inventory is some wonderful herbal salves. On the left we have Comfrey and Plantain salve which is good to use on anything from a bug bite to a boo boo.  And on the right is our Black Drawing Salve.  Be sure to check out these items when you stop by our table.

I've been a little quiet lately.

Wow, I just realized how long it's been since I posted here.  Well, maybe it's because our homeschool year is over and I've got some time to do somethings I've put off for a while.
We even slipped away for a  couple days.  If you ever get to West Virginia I highly recommend staying at Cacapon State Park. It's beautiful, peaceful and like us you'll find a reason why you need to return....soon.

However, now that we're back I've been tinkering with new items to sell at the Carroll County Farmers Market.  We acquired some great medicinal herbs earlier in the spring and I'm excited to start using them in soap and salve.

I'll leave you with a few pictures that will show you why we enjoyed Berkeley Springs, WV so much.

New Soap in the shop

It's a drizzly kind of day here at Aunt B's.  I took the advantage of a 'slower' day to work on the Aunt B's web site soap shop.  This is the most time consuming part of our venture.  I spent the morning taking pictures of soap to post.  I'm finished for today.  I've posted 7 different types of soap to the shop and I have 7 more to add hopefully by the weekend.

Check back often I make soap several times a week.  Our summer farmer market season is getting ready to start.  June 14, 2014 is our opening day at the Carroll County Summer Farmers Market.

Its time to enroll in the next Good Morning Girls Bible study

Just in case any of you are interested in a great online Bible study...registration begins today for the next Good Morning Girls summer Bible Study.    http://www.goodmorninggirls.org/enroll-individual/  Click on the link and follow their instructions.

This summer is a book study entitled You Are Loved....embracing the everlasting love God has for you...written by Sally Clarkson & Angela Perritt.  I think I have most if not all of Sally Clarkson's home school books so even though I don't usually care to much for book studies, I have jumped on board for this book study.....you can find it on Amazon.

This book is set up very similar to the regular Good Morning Girls journal, there is a daily scripture reading plan for the 8 week study.  There are SOAP journal pages to use throughout the study and there are writings throughout the book by Sally and Angela.

I hope you consider the opportunity to join the study.

Mother's Day Market

This Saturday is the Carroll County Farmers Market--Mother's Day Show from 8am -2pm.
There will be flowering plants for the first 200 mom's to attend the Mother's Day market.

We will be there selling homemade soap.  And we have gift sets for you to purchase(while supplies last) and give to your special mom.  Gift sets contain a crocheted washcloth or scrubbie and a great bar of soap.  With all the wonderful things the vendors have at the market you are sure to find something special for your mom.

Aunt B's Market Schedule

We have our summer schedule set with the Carroll County Farmers Market.  The market runs every Saturday starting on June 14 and ending the summer market schedule on August 30.  There are market dates September through December....but I'll just list my summer dates for now.

We will not be attending every Saturday market....we have some other summer family activities planned that does not include soap.

Pictures of the Easter Show

Well, I'm only a week late getting these pictures posted.  This was our space at the Carroll County Farmers Market last Saturday (April 19, 2014).  We had a busy yet fun day at the market.  We are already preparing for Saturday, May 3rd when we'll be selling at the Urbana Flea Market and then again at the Carroll County Farmers Market--Mother's Day Show on Saturday, May 10.

I'm so thankful that Britney and Stephanie (my girls) help with the table set up.  They tend to take over the design of the table and they do a great job.
