Thank you!

I thought there was a sticky thread somewhere with a listing of suppliers by state - but I can't find it! Can anyone point me to that list? Thank you!

Kangaroo Blue has so sadly stopped carrying the tubes I've been buying from them for my lip stains, and I can't find them anywhere else. I have less than 100 left and they'll be gone soon. Does anyone have ideas for where I could find more of these? Here's a photo of what I'm talking about (Kangaroo Blue called them "fancy lip tubes" and they have "elevator" mechanisms) - http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=15530905 Thanks for anyone's help with this!

I use a lot of micas, mostly from Brambleberry, and also a number of different clays.

Milky Way makes soap paints. http://www.milkywaymolds.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&Store_Code=mwm&Category_Code=SP And here are some tips on using them: http://www.milkywaymolds.com/pages/tips_painting.html

I really liked Grasshopper Cheesecake for that combo too.

I have a shop on Etsy. It's been great for me!

Here is what Chris from Solas told me via email when I inquired about placing an order recently (I was too late ): "Sorry, but we are closed indefinitely. I'm not ruling out the possibility of reopening, but it won't be for some time." So I'm thinking it doesn't sound like they'd be selling to another supplier if there is still a possibility of reopening some time down the road...

Here are a few options: http://www.keystonecandlesupply.com/catalog.php?category=12 http://www.wicks-wax-scents.com/air-fresheners.html https://www.oakcourtcreations.com/ProductCart/pc/viewcategories.asp?idCategory=15&pageStyle=H I was actually thinking about gauging interest in a little coop for some from wicks and wax (the middle link) - I want some of the gingerbread men and the pumpkins, but you have to order 100 at a time if you want all the same color and that's more than I need...

Cybilla's Coconut at Brambleberry is excellent, I love it. Have only used it in mp and b&b, not in cold process so I can't comment on that. But it's very true.

Yep, they're raising prices 7% on solid soaps, 4% on liquid products. Bummer.

Thanks for your reply! I think I may just go with the Winter then, I'm looking for something minty and not perfumy - the descriptions of the two fragrances are kind of similar, so I wasn't sure of the differences. Thanks.

I don't do much in the way of food types either, but of course Wendy's VBN, and I also love BW Orange Chocolate Truffle - it smells divine!

I'm placing an order (while I still can) and trying to decide between the two. I'd love anyone's reviews on either!

Hi Deanna, I make loofah soaps and they are quite easy and fun! I don't prep the loofahs at all, I just set them in my mold and pour the soap over them. Sometimes they want to "float" for a second until they absorb the soap, but I just push them back down and they do fine. You can either use individual loofah slices and embed them in a mold (this is what I do) or you can get a big piece of loofah and use a tube mold, then slice the log into bars. Easy peasy!
