When I have a free week ahead, and looking for a challenge I'll try and make a couple. Thanks so much for sharing your Simple Living workshop with us.

I went to the Farmer's Markets, on Saturday and purchased an extra beeswax wrap. There were several different stalls, all carrying the same thing (along with different items). They are quite expensive to buy, but the benefit is how long they last. I can see why the beeswax kits, were snapped up like hotcakes.
