Q: What do drip less hand-dipped candles, market bags, jersey milk soap, silk screened greeting cards and hexagonal books about beekeeping have in common???
A: They were all made, printed, wrapped, and/or bound during one of Motherhouse's latest programs; Market-Making Mondays!
Every Monday starting around 10:30 am, Debra and up to five helpers are busy producing products for our on-line store; Motherhouse Market. Last Monday, Margaret helped dip candles.
We started with a load of dripless candle stubs from the UCC - Cornwall, melted them down, strained out the old wicks, added a bit of coloring, started dipping and...
VOILA!! Beautiful 10" X 3/4"" candles -- soon to be available through Motherhouse Market for $10/pair.
Wooden tool-box kits, calendula salve, sewn covered-dish carriers, aprons, tea cozies, hand-bound "Passages" books and hand woven baling twine sashes are on the list of things to do. Are you interested in learning how? Contact Debra to find out when and sign up!
