This past weekend we were one of 60 artisans in attendance. Met many new customers and were well received. This is our third time.. Approx 10,000 attended!

After hearing that many artisans barely made "booth fee", we feel blessed that our sales were more than we expected. We worked very diligently at being kind to everyone who walked by and did not "sit" reading a book.

Our new wood display boxes, handcrafted by my darling husband, were a hit. They donned sign bearing the names "Ugly Bars" and "Pretty Bars". Talk about attention-getting marketing! The "ugly" ones are our basic bars and the "prettys" of course are our many unique and decorative soaps.

Top five this weekend were:

Ugly

Coconut
Dirt
Lavender
Gardenia
Vanilla Berry

Pretty

Save Our Soap - Soap Savers
Loofah Soap Rolls (Watermelon and Plumeria)
NM-State Shaped Soap (Lemon)
Chile Peppers (Cinnamon and Lime)
"At-The-Cross" (Frankincense and Myrrh)


And of course, our excellent Shea Butter. It was a HIT with many! (Lotions just are not "sufficient" for this part of the country.)

Stay tuned for more updates!
