mountainmadness Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 I found this primitive recipe and it used to be a holiday tradition for gift giving. It is different than what I am used to making but I am happy with the way it turned out. The smell is wonderful. I did a blend of scents. It contains fresh goats milk, real cranberries, oatmeal, brown sugar, & honey.... with my normal oils. I am going to have it at my next Christmas show. We will see how it sells.Thanks for looking.

siberia Posted November 12, 2005 Share Posted November 12, 2005 mountainmadness, your soap is so perfect! The ribbons and the tags really tie it all together. Kimberly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elle110 Posted November 12, 2005 Share Posted November 12, 2005 gorgeous, what will you sell them for? Are you going to sell 2 bars as a set? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mountainmadness Posted November 12, 2005 Author Share Posted November 12, 2005 I am selling them in a three bar stack. It is 17-18 oz. of soap. I will sell it for $15.00. I will let you know how they sell at my show next weekend. My mom came over and I gave her a stack. She called last night and said that her kitchen smelled so good because she put the soap next to her sink in a wooden bowl. I plan on making 2 more primitive batches: 1) Christmas Pine (with goats milk, honey, brown sugar, oatmeal, real pine needles, and pine EO and 2) Orange & Cloves (with goats milk, honey, brown sugar, oatmeal, orange peel, ground clove, orange EO, and clove EO). I am the most excited about the pine because I have never seen anything like it before. lindsaycb- I sent you a pm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kate573 Posted November 12, 2005 Share Posted November 12, 2005 Those are beautiful. What a great idea. Let us know how they sell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunny Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 Have you successfully soaped with clove eo? I can't get it not to seize, even in tiny percentages.. Love the look of those, but have another crazy question, won't those cranberries hurt? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mountainmadness Posted November 13, 2005 Author Share Posted November 13, 2005 Clove is a tricky one. I have had successful batches but I do an orange and clove mix... I have never used clove by itself.The cranberries although they are dried when you soap with them they soften up. They are not rough at all. I did not put in a whole bunch though. I have a bar at the kitchen sink now and I just pull the cranberry out when I come to one in the bar. Believe it or not, the cranberries do add a sweet, tart scent to the bar.This is not soap that I normally make but I really liked the idea of it being a Christmas tradition. I love antiques and history! I couldn't help myself! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunny Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 Hmmm... Mine was mixed with orange too.. Will have to try again when I'm back up and running!I imagine it smells devine! Wanting a cranberry scented candle is how I got started in this whole thing! And after years of searching, I finally found my cranberry fo that smells superb! Boy I love the smells of Christmas!
