Sea Blossom Soap News

Hurricane Coming?

Hurricane Irene is bearing down on the whole east coast but I' staying optimistic for my craft fair this Saturday in Shelter Island.  It's on the north fork of Long Island, where hurricane Irene is scheduled to hit.  The fair is my last one of the season and I really looked forward to a fabulous day. 

I'll be bringing lots of my beautiful Sea Blossom soaps, lotions and spa products.  Also a plastic tarp!  But here's hoping the fair goes off without a problem.

If all goes well, the storm will veer off to the east but right now the reports are opposite, it's heading west (towards us).  But it is looking like the hit will be sometime between Sunday and Monday so the fair might be okay.  I just hope Shelter Islanders will still be there on Sat. and will come out to shop. 

I'm wishing everyone who is in the path of the storm to stay safe and sound.

Sea Blossom at Westhampton Fair

The Westhampton Arts and Craft Festival was held last week in perfect weather - cool, breezy, sunny - I couldn't have asked for more!  Both Nautical Soaps and Natural Soaps were big sellers, and Lemon Meadow Lotion won out in the lotion department.

 Here I am at my booth! 

Thanks to all who came out - especially my previous customers who came back for more Sea Blossom soap goodies.  It's so wonderful to see you in person!  I do appreciate your continued business. 

Next fair, Pine Walk Fair in Fair Harbor, Fire Island on July 4th Saturday.

 

Sea Blossom Holiday Fairs

There's nothing I like more than meeting new customers and showing them my Sea Blossom soaps and spa products.  I put so many wonderful skin-friendly ingredients into my products, and it's a pleasure to share the details with interested consumers!  And I learn a lot from questions people ask, whether about the use of the products or the ingredients I use, or anything else.  I enjoy the most those who already appreciate natural soaps and who choose some of mine with delight. 

Last weekend I did a craft fair in Poughkeepsie, next Sat. and Sun. I'll be in Briarcliff Manor.  This show is a new one for me, in St. Theresa Catholic School. I hope the turnout will be good!

After that, I'll be in White Plains, at White Plains High School, followed by Hoboken for their last weekend on December 18-19. 

Come to the fairs!

Sea Blossom at NYC Craft Fair this weekend

This Saturday, October 16, is my only show in New York City this year, so I hope you'll come.  It's on 21st Street, between 8th and 9th Avenues, from 10-5.

I'll have all my beautiful handmade soaps, lotions and spa products on display, and the weather promises to be good.  The fair is sponsored by ETSY (the handcraft website) so all vendors are handcrafters, which means there'll be lots of lovely unique items for sale, including mine.  So I'm looking forward to seeing all my Sea Blossom fans and to make new friends.

End of Summer Garden Musings

These are my caterpiller friends - they became gorgeous swallowtail butterflies after eating up my fennel.  I'm happy to report that the fennel, though all its leaves were eaten, survived just fine.  It's now blooming, lots of airy yellow flowers that are providing food for bees.

This summer really flew by, even though the heat was extreme.  My flowers are recovering from the heat -   some bloomed super early and were finished too soon, others, like the dahlias, waited out the hot weather to start blooming now.  But the sun has started to be low in the sky so I can see the slow-down of fall is already beginning.

But Sea Blossom is just heating up.  I've got a big lineup of fairs, starting October 16 in New York City.  Stay tuned for more details!

Westhampton Craft Fair Coming Soon

Come see my Sea Blossom handmade soaps and spa products at the Westhampton Craft Fair!  Say Hi! I will be so happy to see you.

It's on the Village Green on Sat and Sun, June 5-6.

There's nothing like sniffing, trying on, experiencing skin care products in person.  I do fairs to give everyone the opportunity to do this.  And I just love to meet my customers in person and hear what you have to tell me about my creations.

So save the date and take a trip to Westampton to the fair!

Sea Blossom at Hoboken Craft Fair

It's Spring and here we go - it's outdoor craft fair season!  I'm starting off with this Sunday's Hoboken Craft Fair, in downtown Hoboken, NJ.

The weather is supposed to be warm and summery - just perfect!  The heat may be a little tough on my soaps, but it beats rain and wind by a mile!  It should be a great day and I hope you will be there to enjoy it. 

There will be lots of venders and many food booths run by local restaurants - I have heard the food in Hoboken is fabulous!

And of course I'll have all my beautiful Sea Blossom hand made soaps and spa products and I can't wait to show them off.

So, up with the tent, outside with Sea Blossom,and I hope to see you there in Hoboken!

Craft Fair Sunday March 28 in Paramus!

Come see me in Paramus tomorrow, 10-5.  I'll have all my new Sea Blossom products, even those not yet on the website.  And it will be a beautiful day.

See you there!

Sea Blossom debuts new soaps at first fair of the Season

  I'm so excited to be showing my newest soaps tomorrow at a sisterhood event given by Temple B'nai Torah in Long Island.  I'm hoping there are some Mah Jongg players as I have 3 brand new soap designs in Mah Jongg characters:  Red Dragon, Soap Tile, and Green Dragon.  I made them using a new technique.  Also debuting are my Tropical Drink soaps and the beautiful Seahorse Nautical Soap. 

That's the Peach Daiquiri in back, with the Seahorse in front of it in this new group shot.

Next show is March 28 in Paramus, NJ.  Stay tuned for more details.

Thanks for coming to the Fair!

The Holiday craft fair season is finally over and it was great!  I traveled all over to many new venues - Poughkeepsie NY, Wayne NJ, Hoboken NJ, Ridgefield CT.  It was the busiest season ever for Sea Blossom and I had a wonderful time.  That's part of my display on the left.

Thank you to all who came out and shopped.  It's my greatest pleasure to show and tell all about my Sea Blossom soaps and spa products.  I'm so proud of them and just love it when you enjoy them too. 

If you didn't get yourself onto my email list, you can do so anytime - just email me at mail@seablossom.com to be included in my monthly email newsletter.  I will try to have a special discount every month for my email customers.  And as I always say, I won't send more than one per month, so don't worry about being bombarded.

For now, the extra early mornings and long drives are behind me (till Spring shows) but I'm already starting work on some exciting new products.  Stay tuned---
