What Mommas want, Mommas get

[THarvey]

My Mother saw my Texas Mountain Laurel Navigator and ordered one as a gift for a friend of hers. This one is going to the pocket of one of our State Legislators.

My Mother-inlaw ordered three cosmetic brushes for gifts for some of her friends. These are Bubinga, with natural Sable brushes.

I love both these ladies, so obviouly... What Mommas want, Mommas get.

Comments welcome. Thanks for looking.

Very nice work, Tim. Is there any special meaning for using a "Texas" wood for an Alabama State Legislator?

All the best, Joe

Nothing special about the wood. She just liked the looks of my pen.

The significance from my perspective is this man has a business, as well as legislative contacts. I will make sure he has a few extra cards to tell his associates from whom the pen came. :biggrin:

These came from Arizona Silhouette. Bill has these in a couple sizes and some pink dyed sable.

I also use The Golden Nib. They carry Black and Red sable.

Thanks,

Tim

He has them listed as "Cosmetic Brushes" on the left side menu.

BTW: Anthony has the best shaving knots I have found. Wish I had more customers wanting shaving brushes.

I've been thinking of doing my own setup where I have the brush, holder, razor, and a turned bowl holding a custom made shave soap all made out of the same wood. I have some recipes on how to make the shave soaps, but always wondered if they would sell.

I think that to the right person, they would be priceless, but how often do we get those?

I have done 3 shaving brushes, so far. Two are mine. The third I traded to a lady that makes shaving soap. She gave the brush to her husband, I got a long term supply of shaving soap.

So far, I have not been able to turn any cash off of shaving brushes. I have sold nearly 20 cosmetic brushes in just over a year.
