Wow thats lovely, something I have not done yet, a stall.  Ypur's looks lovely, hope you did well at it.

You seem sooo busy, you do alot of stalls. I havn't done one yet.  Im just being nosey but how many batches of soap do you make on average before  you go to market so to speak.  Do you have to take tons of soap with you.  I'd be scared of taking too much and scared of not taking enough either, I bet it's really hard getting it right, especialy in the beginning.

Shell, I make heaps and heaps. every year is different. last year I sold out of gingergrass, this year, lavender & geranium, which didn't sell that well last year, so I didn't make as much!!
I've had to book an extra event this year because sales have been much lower that usual, and I don't want to store 200 bars of soap thankyou very much! :mwaha:

It very much depends on the size of the fair and where it is as to how much to make & take.
Always best to take too much - just incase.
I have a stand that holds 72 bars, so I usually fill that and take a few spares of popular ones, not that I would sell 72 at a small fair. Also if you only sell soap, you will need enough to make a decent & attractive display like Retro's.
