This past weekend’s craft show at Palmer High School wrapped up this year’s craft season for us. I believe we had a pretty good season considering I entered it so late and was submitting applications for craft shows at the very last minute. We met so many wonderful people—browsers, shoppers, and fellow crafters.
I have to admit it feels pretty good today knowing I don’t have any more impending shows any time soon. We have been working so hard, it is great to get a little break. It is now time to focus more on the home front as Christmas Day approaches along with another one of our children’s birthdays. It was quite hectic having our daughter’s birthday coincide at the same time as this past weekend’s craft show. But somehow, we managed it all. She celebrated for two consecutive days and had a fabulous weekend turning fifteen years old.
Along with feeling some relief of more restful days ahead, there’s also a bit of disappointment thinking of waiting at least five or six months before the next show. We’ll miss all the fun and exciting aspects that go along with them. In the months ahead, I will continue to build our candle inventory, so when the craft show season begins again I won’t have such intense candle making work.
Just because the craft shows are over, it doesn’t mean we are done making or selling candles! Not by a long shot. Our “home store” is always open. We always welcome special orders and are always offering our fun candle making classes. By tomorrow sometime, I will have posted a current listing of our present inventory of already made candles available for immediate purchase. I will also be posting pictures of the new wax tarts we are selling for melting pots and of the beautiful new 10 ounce container we have available.
Once again, we want to thank everyone so very much for their support. Many thanks to our friends who came by at our craft show booths to say hello, to offer encouraging words, and purchase candles. Another great, big thanks to all the *new* friends who stopped by our booths to learn more about our candles and/or make purchases. Grateful thanks to all the fellow crafters we met for their friendliness towards us and their offers of great ideas to help our business venture.
We wish you all a very blessed Christmas and New Year’s celebrations.
