It's time to sell goat kids!

I hate to do it, but these little guys need to go! Freya's kids are 8 weeks old yesterday. Olga's kids are 6 weeks today.

I've been putting the kids in a stall at night so I can milk in the morning. But lately, little Rika is out and nursing  when I go out to get the girls for milking. And she just about drinks ALL the milk! Little stinker. So from now on, she goes in the crate.

I'd like all the girls to go together if that's possible. Since there's 3 girls, I don't want to sell 1 by herself. And I would love for the buck to become someone's herd sire, since he's polled. That would make a great addition to someone's herd for polled kids. No disbudding! Although there is just a 50/50 chance  of having polled kids. It's still worth it.

So if anyone needs goats, let me know.

St. Elmo market

 This is my booth at St. Elmo market. I am sure loving my little soap boxes me and my husband made. They are so easy to load up now and take up very little room. Why didn't I think of this sooner?

This is the other table with kale, dandelion greens. jelly, dryer balls and my pottery.

It was a nice evening for market this time. No rain. But cloudy and a nice breeze. Lots of people came through. I sold a lot of things this time. There were a lot more vendors too. That always helps when there are a lot of canopies up. So a good day for me.

Making...

 feta cheese and soap boxes today. I actually made this cheese Saturday, but cut it up and added chives and garlic and covered it in olive oil today. It is SO good! I am bartering with a friend for her brand new sisal rug that she found out she's allergic to, so I'll take her some today. And have some for us.

And last night, I thought up these cute little soap boxes. A friend gave us a stack of pallet type wood so these are free. I went ahead and cut enough for 10 boxes. They will hold 8 bars of soap and stack on top of each other with enough room that the soaps won't touch. Pretty cool, right? And all free.  They will take up less room too. I love them. So rustic looking. I also thought I'd get some chalkboard paint and paint the front of the box, so I can write the name of each soap, instead of using a piece of card stock. My market neighbor the other day was worried about my little name tags. So I think he should be happy with these boxes.

                                        Doesn't this look so cute? I love it. Just plain ole boxes.

                                          I love how they just all stack on top of each other so nice too.
