What a difference a few months make

I must get back to updating this blog with some suitable soap porn.

In April the wholesale orders started to roll in, and then I got busy making product for the summer markets.

The husband returned from overseas in June, and we’ve been going non stop to markets and camping. I’m getting ready to take the business to the Maritime Gift Show in hopes of getting a few more wholesale customers.

The month of august has been busy. I went to Moncton to do the Victoria Park craft show and got completely cleaned out of soap. What a shocker that was. I took twice as much soap as I took last year and sold every bit of it. That made me sweat a little when I came home and unpacked to see how empty my bookshelves are.

They’re looking a bit better now.

I can sigh a little easier, but I still have a long way to go. I have eight christmas shows, three of which are “major” shows and will likely have two or three parties not to mention the internet orders. I’ve never been very good at promoting my online site so I don’t make a lot of income that way.  Then there is still the wholesale customers. My existing customers who stay open through the year and of course any new accounts I get in September.

Makes me wonder if I have enough storage space. It’s always hard to know just how much to make!
