THIS IS this Saturday 02/23/2019 from 9-4pm in Chesapeake Virginia there are like 140 vendors from food, crafts, arts and so many great things.....I can't wait to see my buddies as I missed them ....this will be our first show of the year. My son Colten even sent a message to me this morning as we sit in RAIN in the Gator taking care of animals and freezing....as I tell you I am always cold.....Colten says "Do you think we will have a market tomorrow?" YES COLTEN ITS INSIDE lol hahahahahaha YEP the show must go on!!
Yeah so hopefully you can make it!
As I type this Bruce is finishing up boxing soaps, I've printed labels etc etc..... made so many things....hoping for a GREAT YEAR!
Soooo this is Colby packing the soap we have poured over 2000 YES I REPEAT 2000 so do I need to RPEAT that yes 2000 bars of soap just since January we were practically sold out nothing hardly left at all. So it was like starting from scratch....Colby and Bruce and Dusty pretty much got all the bars packaged in put in the boxes and labeled. I of course printed all the labels....I buy the blank labels from OnlineLABels.com which is an EXCELLENT place to get your labels from. They have a blank label for everything. So I do think we are ready..........HOPEFULLY!
Wanted to share this adorable little hat that my dear friend Cheryl sent me over she lives a few counties over....I love it! I am a hat person,.....once again Im always cold lol so I flock to anything warm.....
