Kollektion - collection

Es kamen so viele Menschen an die zwei Märkte, dass ich schlicht und einfach keine Zeit zum Photographieren hatte! Deshalb kann ich euch nur ein paar Seifenbilder zeigen, so wie die Seifen kurz vor dem Verkauf, also verpackt, ausgesehen haben.

I was so busy on these two market days that I simply didn't have the time to take some pictures. So I can only show you a few pictures of my soaps shortly before they were sold... They all have names written in my dialect. I don't know how many people understand them - as my dialect is pretty strong.

männersach means (translated word by word): men's things - a shaving soap

chatzäwesch is what cats are doing: they wash themselves all over - a shampoo soap

chirbiss is a word game. chirbis means pumpkin and written with two "s" it means to bite - well... a biting pumpkin or so

lachends zebra: smiling zebra

milchstrass: milky way - a soap with goat milk

mandeltigr: almond tiger

birkäwald: birch forest

schläckmuil: muil means mouth, schläckä means to lick. so it's a licking mouth - a honey-lavender soap

fäderliächt: as light as a feather

blüemlisalp: is the name of a mountain. there's also a song called like that. and my soap has lots of petals on top!

entre terre et ciel: classic lavender soap - what grows between earth and sky? lavender!

Beschäftigt - busy

Oje... lange ist mein letzter Post her. Ich war fleissig: mein 1. Seifensiedekurs habe ich erfolgreich hinter mich gebracht. Das gleiche gilt für den Koffermarkt in Luzern und den Weihnachtsmarkt in Sarnen. Da zwei Anlässe eher kurzfristig waren, musst ich bei der Produktion Vollgas geben. Aber der Einsatz hat sich gelohnt. Ich habe gut verkauft und es hat vor allem Spass gemacht. Ich lege eine Seifenpause ein - ist zwar etwas schwierig, wenn man süchtig ist...

It's been a long time since my last post. I was very busy: I had a successful first soap workshop. So was the "Koffermarkt" in Lucerne and the christmas market in Sarnen. Two events were quite short notice hence I had to be very productive. I enjoyed this time and it was worth it. I sold lots of soaps and it was good fun! Now I will have a break - though it's a bit difficult if you are addicted...
