Hurricane Irene

Hurricane Irene is supposed to hit. I hear it's a very powerful and massive storm. I hope eveyone stays safe, dry and don't go out unless you have to.
We are all pretty much ready. Generators, extra food and water, chain saws and containers of gas. We just have to pick up things in the yard so they don't do any damage.
Due to the hurricane the Mastic Beach Festival was cancelled. I was sooooo looking forward to doing that festival. What a shame.
But, we were juried for the Bethel Fall Harvest on October 9. Yey! Hope to see all our friends there.
We will have new soap scents and some new items.
So again, everyone please stay safe and hope to see ya soon!

Upcoming Festivals

Saturday was a beautiful day in Ellenville. The weather held out, many people came, we made some new friends and had a great time. Thanks to everyone who stopped by our booth.

Next stop The Hurley Heritage Corn Festival this Saturday August 20. Then we'll be back on Long Island for the Mastic Beach Blue Claw Crab Festival August 28.

September 15, 16, 17, 18 we're at St. Nicholas Fall Festival in Babylon. September 22, 23, 24, 25 St. Paraskevi Food Festival.

October 2, 3 at Huntington's Fall Festival. And possibly the last Sunday for the Bethel Woods Fall Harvest Festival.

I can't believe we're in the middle of August already! We have to start making our fall soaps; Pumpkin Crunch, Apple Spice, Cinnamon Nutmeg, Evergreen. I have some new oils and tallow I will be working with, so I'm pretty excited!

August Festivals

We are so excited! This Saturday August 13th, we will be at The Shawangunk Mountain Blueberry and Huckleberry Festival in Ellenville, NY from 9:00 to 4:00. There's something for everyone. Vendors, live music and everything blueberry!

Next Saturday August 20th, we will be at the Hurley Heritage Corn Festival in Hurley, NY from 10:00 - 4:00. Local farm products, antiques, hand crafted items.

I hope the weather holds out. It's been rainy for the past couple of days, not that I'm complaining because we needed the rain but it would be nice if it stayed dry for the festivals.
