Today is Friday again.....it seems like every day is either Friday or Monday. Time flies by so fast!
Tomorrow and Sunday we will be at the St. Paraskevi Food Festival. We have many soaps and crocheted items. We will also be taking some lotions if I can figure out how to shrink wrap the top. I made some lotions yesterday; unscented, honey almond, honeysuckle, strawberry cream and energizing. We have in 8oz. and 4oz. sizes.
The weather isn't holding up. It's rainy and damp. I think the festival is outside so I don't know how that's going to be. I saw large tents but if the wind picks up it's not going to be a nice picture. I'm hoping the weather won't be too bad.
Hope to see everyone there!

Fall Festivals
St. Nicholas Fall Festival is over. Thursday it rained and was so windy we had to leave early. Friday and Saturday it was cold, Sunday was a beautiful day. Not many people were out, at least not at St. Nicholas. We found out that there we quite a few festivals going on in the area that were packed and that's why there weren't many people at St. Nicks.
We made some new friends and saw some old friends. We had 4 or 5 customers return to buy more bars and I would like to thank them from the bottom of my heart. It is so wonderful to here," I loved your soap so much and I just had to buy some more!" It's a great feeling.
Coming up this Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday we will be at the St. Paraskevi Food Festival in Greenlawn, NY. Hope to see everyone there! We will be inside so I know the weather won't be an issue. We can't wait!

Too much rain!
A very hectic couple of weeks. Hurricane Irene hit with all her glory. We had no electricity for almost a week. Luckily we have a generator! But the bad thing with that is there are extension cords draped all over the house. Refrigerators, lights, TV, telephones all need a hookup. I think we need to look into getting a large generator for the whole house. Our neighbors have one and as soon as the electricity goes down, their generator turns on. Very practical!
Hurricane Irene brought a lot of rain. It rained Saturday evening straight into Monday and it rained heavily. Finally the sun came out and the winds picked up. The most damage was not from the wind though, it was from the rain. Rivers overflowed, fields turned into lakes, roads were washed away, houses were lost. There was water and dry ice distribution in various places. I realized that even with the annoying extension cords all over the place we were lucky to have the generator. Many people didn't. They lost a lot. Then again if your house is filled with water?
Then just as things began to dry, here came Lee and it rained and rained and rained on the already Irene soaked New York. People who were still trying to dry out from Irene had more water to deal with.
I hope the rain is over for a while. We need to dry out so people can get back to their normal routine.
