We made our first public appearance as a business this weekend. It was tons of work, totally exhausting and we learned a lot. The customers were interested and the response to our products was great. We can't call ourselves rich with the money we made but we looked at this as a test of what needed work, what would sell what we can change to get our name and products out to the public. I did craft shows back in the dark ages and had forgotten how physically hard this kind of show can be.

| Our booth caught a lot of attention mostly because of our display and eye catching products. We also learned we had way too much on our tables and should have stuck more under the tables and brought it out as necessary. |
 |
| The lifts were great. they could have been better spaced maybe a different color. |
 |
| Goats milk soap. It's beautiful but didn't sell well. We did have a tray with each kind of soap out so people could smell them. Maybe some kind of info on the advantages of goats milk. |
 |
| Bath salts too crowded and we were so busy we couldn't tell people what they were. |
It was a great learning experience and the other vendors, Sandy and Michelle who ran the show and the customers couldn't have been nicer. I don't really want to go back to the days of shows every weekend, but one every once in a while would be OK.
The biggest surprise of the day? Our natural laundry soap. We've been working on this one and had only brought a few jars to sell. People went nuts over it. I'll share the recipe someday.
