Honeydew Soap

This is the third batch of soap I have attempted and is the best so far. I can understand why it is so addictive!

We decided to try the candle making colour chips and essential oils. The colour chip was supposed to be blue but it came out a pale green, so honeydew it was. This batch was 500g of copha and 1000g of olive oil.

I had read or seen somewhere that you can use loofah to set soap in, so the loofah from the markets was cut up and wrapped in glad wrap.

Cushions too!

At the same markets I found the veges I also found all these cushions for $2 and $4 each. We had been talking about changing the girls loungeroom to purple tones for quite a while. All these were just $22 - and best of all home made. We added a couple of purple candles we found at k-mart for $3 each and a purple shaded lamp and we are almost done.

I should have made the candles - but I wasn't thinking straight after the adrenaline rush of finding the perfect cushions for such a great price.

Market Finds

Almost every other Saturday we drive past a little market. Instead of saying we should stop and look -we did! and how happy am I!

A bag of veges for $13.50. A loofah for $2 (that was still full of seeds) Old Warm Earth mags for 50c each and zucchini seedlings for 50c each. Everything local and even better I caught up with a gorgeous friend I hadn't seen for years.
