Farmers Market August 31, 2013

Saturday was filled with visits from old friends! I was reconnected with this mother/daughter after I attended my photography workshop at Warthan Farms! The daughter, Kim, arrived at the workshop when I did and said she recognized me! Her mom was a teacher at the High School I attended, was the head of the FCA (Fellowship of Christian Athletes), and also kept score for all of our softball games! Kim, who was much younger when she was hanging out at the ballfield with her mom, remembered me! Amazing! She and her mom rode down to see my mom and I! It was so good to see them!

And, we got a visit from our Waverly church friends! Jennifer and her daughter, Jessie!

It always makes you feel so special when friends take time out of their busy schedules to come down and visit and support you!

Tom and his daughter stopped by for some soap! I have to give a shout out for Saucy's BBQ! Tom is the owner and if you haven't tried it, you should! Because it really is just that awesome! Plus, you can feel good that you're supporting local!!

Warthan Farms Cotton Blossom Soap

Cotton Blossom Soap for Warthan Farms Photography by The Daily Scrub

I've been making soap and making soap! Recently, I received a special order from Jennifer at Warthan Farms Photography to create a cotton scented soap just for her clients! Remember the workshop I took with her?

She wanted a rustic bar that was natural and reflective of the farm and cottage where she holds her workshops and sessions!

This bar smells just like fresh clean cotton! We called it Cotton Blossom! I ground up some oats to give the bar a more rustic and natural feel as well as to provide exfoliation! The tags were special made with the ingredients listed on the reverse side and her logo on the front! The bars were wrapped with twine and tags attached!

I really love how this bar turned out! Everything about it fits with her farm! It was a fun project and I look forward to working with her more!

And, I couldn't believe it when she included my soaps in her most recent giveaway! Be sure to enter!



I really enjoy special projects where we can customize the look and smell of each batch to fit a customer's needs!
