Antique Finds

Goat In Cart

During a recent antique trip, I stumbled onto a couple of finds. One was a white porcelain tub with red trim. I plan to display my soap in the pan. The best find was a tea towel with a goat in a cart embroidered on it. I think displaying the goat milk soap in this pan with the tea towel would be cute. What do you think?

New Platter

Old Plate

I have been looking for plates with cottages on them.  A couple of years ago I found one with a crack on it.  Until now, I haven't seen another one.  This one is a platter and made by the same company.  This will fit nicely with my cottage collection!

Also, I made a batch of  Antique Lavender Rose soap.  Even with titanium dioxide to whiten the soap, it will be an antique lavender color.  The soap is setting up and I will cut it tomorrow.

 I wanted to put a stamp on the side of my soap.  I have a sunflower, but I wanted to put a rose on the soap. Some of the stamps are expensive and I didn't want one just like everyone else.  My sister also makes soaps, (Banks of Noon Botanicals), and she suggested that I glue a button to a dowel rod and make a stamp that way.  It works perfect!  Thanks sis!
