The lavender has been put to bed for the winter.
The holidays are fast approaching and so much is happening all of a sudden (it seems). I've only had a year to plan and sew and do all the things to prepare for this season. It's my best sales time of year because people like to buy lavender gifts for friends and family. There will be an open house "Lavender Salon" at Angie's house on Sunday. And I plan on one at my house on Dec 9th, Sunday. I will have some of my products on sale at my beauty salon and at a 2-week holiday craft fair nearby. Also my friend, Yvonne, in Delta has be bring my products to her annual Christmas open house. Some of this happened at the last minute so I am sewing like a crazy woman to get more neck wraps and pillowcase liners (my most popular products) ready. Of course I have had a year's notice of the annual Lavender Association Christmas Fair on Dec 1st. I'm a bit concerned about the new location because it is a big facility and not sure if enough advertising is being done. It is one of my favorite events because the members are there and we get to spend time together and see what each other products.
Also, a group of women at church have been having a monthly dinner and my turn is Dec 4th.
So my 2 helpers and I are trying to figure out how to seat 24 or so women for dinner. Thank goodness Con is going to make his "soon to be famous" green chili and a white chicken chili for us. That and tortillas are the main course.
I notice that the photos of my neckwraps and eye pillows has disappeared from this blog. So I'll have to try to repost them -- cross your fingers! Adios for now. 11 14 12
