Starting tomorrow I'll be doing craft fairs weekend after weekend, right up to Christmas. (Check my last post for the schedule.)
Of course they are all cozily indoors, not out in the weather as this picture shows.
This weekend is Chappaqua on Saturday at the Bell School and New City on Sunday at the Nanuet Hebrew Center. Both are always great shows so I hope you'll come by.
I had to show off my dahlias! These (Onesta variety) looked like this last weekend. Not bad for mid-October The garden was off to a very slow start this summer but the fall has been incredible. October bloomers include over a dozen varieties of dahlias, all great in the garden as well as in the vase. They last a long time and I cut more to bring home to the city. So nice to be making tons of soap with a house filled with flowers!
Salvia Leucantha (Mexican bush sage) is also putting on a show. Purple bunny-fur racemes. Worth waiting all season for. And my fabulous Tithonia Sun Dancer is still putting out its bright orange flowers that the butterflies and bees love. It's an annual I grew from seed not realizing it would grow into a 6-foot plus shrub-sized bush in just a summer. So big it covered my sedum and some dahlias, but I don't mind as it's a show-stopper.
Soon I'm off to do many holiday fairs - list to follow!
Happy Fall!
Finally taking a breath after two craft fairs in a row. Thanks to all who came out to White Plains on May 30-31 and Westhampton on June 6-7. Both fairs were lucky with weather - it was gorgeous! And both were very good fairs.
It was great fun to show my Sea Blossom products in person. All interest and comments are appreciated and sometimes I get great new product ideas from things people say at fairs.
Now I'm getting ready for the Pine Walk Fair in Fair Harbor, Fire Island on July 4th. It's only for one day, and a somewhat shortened day at that, with a late start time of 11 am. But it's a really great fair, as everyone in town comes at least to look. And hopefully to buy! The quality of the crafts is always very high and priced for everyone. Just have to hope my weather luck holds out!
Here's a last minute note - I'll be at the Westhampton Arts & Crafts Fair in the Village Green this Sat and Sun - June 6 & 7. It's going to be a beautiful weekend after all this rain, so come on out.
Please come by to see my beautiful Sea Blossom products and stock up at prices not available online. Test, sniff and try on my lotions, creams, balms and of course, soaps. I've got new sugar scrubs and a fabulous all- natural Aloe Moisture Mask. Two new soaps - Starfish, and Sweet Dreams, are already big hits. And I've got a cute new spa-at-home gift set in two scents.
I look forward to seeing you there!
Just a quick note to let you know I'll be at the White Plains Outdoor Arts Festival this weekend, May 30-31.
It's at Tibbits Park, 1 North Broadway at Main Street in White Plains, NY.
It's my first time at this fair, which features fine arts and fine crafts. It's free admission and runs from 10 - 5.
I'll have my whole Sea Blossom line there - so I hope you'll come to sniff, try and buy my products at Fair Special prices not available on the web!
I'm so excited that Spring is finally showing up! My tulips are peeking up from the ground and some are budding. Not like the city tulips which are actually blooming, but it's so encouraging! Here's a past picture to show what they'll soon look like -
My first Spring craft fairs - in Huntington, Long Island and Stonybrook, Long Island - were a great season opener, and I was so happy to introduce myself and my Sea Blossom products to lots of new customers. My next fairs are in late May, in White Plains, NY, and in Westhampton in June. Come see me if you can!
So until then I'll be gardening and getting ready for the Nautical Soap season at the beach resorts. Lots of fresh new Lighthouse Soaps, Sailboat Soaps, Beach Glass, White Tea & Ginger Shell Soaps, and new Starfish Soaps are ready to go. Not to mention the Flip Flops!
