I'm heading over to the new Boutique that came about last November. The woman who set up has done big art/craft shows for years. She had planned on just through the holidays. But the response was so good (100 or more vendors and ton's of customers) she decided to do it year round. So I have a little shop there along with many other vendors of a variety of handmade (mostly) really nice products. No junk. Part of the deal is that we volunteer to work the store 16 hours a month so I try to do every Wed afternoon. It's actually quite fun. Since all of the vendors can't be there all the time, we have gotten to know about each others products so we can answer questions for customers.
In addition to my products, I'm carrying some locally made lavender essential oils and hand made lavender soaps. I plan to get a couple of copies of the Lavender Association's cookbook, "Spike It with Lavender" to see if they will sell.
As Angie reminds me often, "if you're making money, it's a business; if not, then it's a really fun hobby." Can't lose that way!
Some say "Wake up, and smell the roses" but I say "Relax, and smell the Lavender." Melt away stress with lavender-filled neck wraps, eye pillows, sachets made from beautiful fabrics.
