I can't believe I haven't written an update since the 9th. The month has totally flown by in a whirlwind! I am glad I scheduled myself some time to breathe or I would still be holding my breath, the month was just amazing!
September 10 and 11 dad and I made soap, lots of it. Pretty much this is all we will be doing for the next two months- making as much soap as we can and stocking up for the big shows at the end of the year. The 11th we vended at Muhlenberg. It was so great to be back at our second home. The days are always so pleasant and everyone is always so kind and supportive. It is just a great place to be. Dad was at the farm market at Lehigh University on the 13th, and this event has just been rock solid this year. He has been getting great weather, and we have had a steady stream of dedicated customers. It is so far our best year here yet.
Friday the 14th through Monday the 24th I visited my mom. I love to visit my mom. We have so much fun together. This year we did all sorts of stuff, from visiting bird sanctuaries, to sculpture gardens, and historic homes. Only one day was really spent chilling out and only then because it rained. I came back ready to hit the ground running and work hard till the end of the year.
I came back and learned I need a filling. Bummer. I chipped my tooth a gazillion years ago and it is finally getting to the point that it needs to be filled before it gets bad. I hate the whole procedure of having something done to my teeth. I try and be proactive and get them cleaned every 6 months, and until just a few years ago I never had a filling. But I guess age and horrible flossing habits are catching up. So I scheduled that for a few weeks from now. Ugh!
Dad had a great day at the last Bath Farmer's Market for the season. It is always hard for him to say goodbye to everyone. But it was an awesome year and he can't wait to be back next year!
This past weekend was the New Hope Arts & Crafts Festival. It was the third location in the last three years for the event. I loved it! The set up and dismantle was super easy, I had my best show there so far, and the volunteers were both plentiful and helpful. It was a super event and I can't wait to be back next year! I know not everyone did great, but I really liked my location of the booth as well as the new location for the show. People could park nearby, or take a shuttle from the downtown. I thought the aisles were wide, it was easy to move around, plenty of space and a great flow of people all day long. it was great to be on the pavement when it rained, I didn't have to worry about being all muddy either.
In other news I have picked up making soaps for the Maid's Quarter's Bed & Breakfast, and yet another wedding shower to make favors for. YAY! I also have a meeting about wholesale tomorrow at a place in NJ, that will be a first for me, and I have new shaving brushes to get up on the web site. These are special because the handles are turned by a local wood turner and I am super excited to have them!
So keep your eye on the web site for some new additions, and hope to see you soon!
