my soap cupboard

its been a rainy cold weekend up here in Minnesota, so i put some bean soup in my crock pot and have been catching up in the house. this is my soap cupboard.. should of seen Cindy and i hauling it to town on top of my trusty red van. it hung out over the windshield but for 60.00 i knew i wanted to get it home one way or another. mark made shelves for inside and it works perfect for what i needed it for. i have a basket of soap dishes and one with candles, i make tarts too so now am picking warmers up when i see them at sales. i use all this for donations, gifts, to sell, ect... i really could use another cupboard...one for soap and one for supplies!
quiet weekend for me, my boys are both camping, one in MN (Sadie, the beagle is keeping us company) the other is Iowa. Angie and #2 g-babe went fishing. i have had lots of time to think and reflect. we were in the air force for 20 years (mark was, i followed) so today im not only thinking of our lost military but also lost family, friends and my sister joan (48yr) and my husband mark (50yr) 
who both passed almost a year ago...







enjoy your day...              jody

    What a great soap stash and yo found the perfect cupboard for it.
    I love being alone once in a while just to hear myself think. I hope that you are having some nicer weather soon but rain is needed for the crops.
    Happy Memorial Day. JB
