Petie called to say he was in Carson City at Costco - did we need anything, I said no, we're covered - we need you. Then he asked if I had anymore soap. He said everyone loved the bars he had gifted so he needed to buy more - did I have more. Yes, I have more soap but not wrapped in labels ready for sale. I hung up and got to work.
In making smaller batches of soap at a time, my soap cutters are leaving me with the last group of soaps too narrow for a bath bar. My son is going to adjust that when he's here this weekend, but I have a lot of extra little soaps.
I've saved old calendars so I decided to make some origami boxes and put the little pieces in and see if I can't move them that way.
The box on the right is from a Historical Nevada calendar. I forgot to take a picture of the finished boxes - they look pretty cool. I hope someone else thinks so. It would be nice to have these little soaps find a home.
Our first guest has arrived for the weekend. He and Ian met at com-
munity college, and now Petie is a retired professor turned banjo player who follows the blue grass festivals. He has chosen us over the Strawberry Festival - wow! We had a lovely quiet evening of visiting and just being together.

Those boxes are cool - have a great time this weekend - looking forward to hearing all about it :-) T.
Those boxes are cute. Since each box contains more than one type are you marketing them as samplers?

I think the boxes will help them sell - also, smaller soaps are handier for the sinks than larger bath-sized bars.
Great marketing idea with the pretty boxes! A sampler as Melodye said. What a great party you are going to have!
Love the boxes for the smaller soaps! What a great idea...I think they'll be a hit. Have a FUN weekend!
What's not to like about the soap in the pretty boxes? you've already gift boxed them for your customer. Packaging can make a huge difference and those are adorable. I'll bet they'll fly off the shelves, or at least the table.
I think those boxes are a fabulous idea, and great recycling!!!!
Have a fantastic weekend! I bet that the small soaps will go over well. Who doesn't like trying something new? I sometimes cut large bars of soap into smaller ones on my own so that I can enjoy a variety and never get sick of one type.
What a great idea - the origami boxes! The other thing I have seen people do is slice their leftovers very slim and hand them out as freebies....along with a business card...
