Craft Show

I sold my soaps at a craft show over the weekend and did quite well.  My goal was to sell 100 bars and I sold 130 bars!  Not quite as great as the last show, but more than any show I did last year.  I had some repeat customers, even one that showed up and bought on Saturday, then came back and bought more on Sunday!  Very cool!

I planned out what kinds I need to make in the next two weeks to be prepared for the big show after Thanksgiving - the Public Market.  I made up three batches yesterday and want to make about 24 more.  Each batch makes 30 bars.  I have three mall shows before Thanksgiving and set a goal to sell 100 bars at each of those.  Then I have two mall shows in December, so I need to make sure I have enough for those as well.  I have alot of soap to make, and hopefully I can sell it all  :o)

I know i keep posting on your blog and you have no clue who I am. I am just trying to get a feel for what life is like in Juneau AK, as I will be moving there in January and I have no clue what to expect.

Congrats on the soap selling and good luck with your next few weeks before Thanksgiving!
