While on vacation in The Florida Keys I had a conversation with Jeff Lillie of Marathon BioDiesel. I met him through a string of chance conversations. The woman that we rent a house from likes my soaps, and she was telling me about a friend of hers that makes a hand cleaner and foot scrub out of glycerin byproduct from his BioDiesel production facility.

Hi there! I was away for a mid-winters break down to The Florida Keys. While there, I did more than just fishing, frozen drinks, Cuban sandwiches and relaxing. I had the opportunity to visit their local farmers market! Full of loads of great local grown produce and flowers, they also had some soaps and candles, breads, teas, jams and prepared foods. Casco Bay Soap Co.http://www.blogger.com/profile/06291841152370775735noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5480642463956546092.post-27627521712924891682015-01-14T13:27:00.002-05:002015-01-14T13:40:00.368-05:00Give Away With Casco Bay Soap Co.& Miss Moonmaker

CAKE. I love it. I don't eat it often, or often enough. But making a large cake and having it around for 2 people just isn't in our daily diet plan. So when I can, I volunteer to make the cake for ANY celebration. This guarantees a few things.....I get a piece. I get to choose they type of cake. Well, not always.

Where does it go!?
Almost 3 weeks or so since my last post! Soo much happening in my soap world and well, now that the weather is GORGEOUS (!!!) I am outside a bit with gardening, lawn mowing and hiking in the evenings as well as sailing on weekends with Mr. Casco Bay Soap. (on Casco Bay aboard Sea Mist - recognize those names?)

I've been super busy with soap....making it, labeling it, shipping it....it's all soap all the time! Which is a good thing. BUT that also leaves me little time for much else. I squeeze in housework, yard work, shopping, tea with friends a potluck dinner etc. for sure.

My Aunt and Uncle were visiting from Alaska and we always try to finds some interesting fun little day trips to do while they are here.

Planning my Easter dinner and came across this beautiful (and I am sure delicious) Coconut Layered Pound cake with Passion Fruit Curd from Sweet Paul. Coconut, Passion Fruit and Cake. A triple winner in my book.

One in particular had been getting a bit of press and some questions. Soybean Oil.
I use Soybean Oil in my soaps as one of the "carrier oils". This is one of the main oils. It is a very neutral oil, offering no fragrance alteration to the end product of the soap, helps create a great Casco Bay Soap Co.http://www.blogger.com/profile/06291841152370775735noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5480642463956546092.post-30123632362741979302014-03-26T18:25:00.000-04:002014-03-26T18:30:07.160-04:00The Big Show!
