Well, the craftshow in the barn turned our awesome. It was a lot of fun. A little background about the barn craftshow. My sister-in-law (married to my farmer's brother) puts on this craftshow - for the last 4-5 falls. They bought the barn from my father - in -law a few years back. You see, when Mr. Farmer and I got married my brother-in-law and his family were already living in the same farm yard as my in-laws so we decided that we would live ACROSS the road from them. We had to start from scratch and make our own yard--at the time it was just a field. It has taken awhile to get from field to yard with a house and shop but we are getting there! Anyway, it was 32 degrees the day of the show---but that didn't stop the people from coming! We had over one thousand people show up. The people that get cold are the vendors (like me) but I had a propane heater this year and let me tell you--it was a life saver! Because of this heater I was able to enjoy chatting with people -- otherwise I would have been cold and miserable after sitting in the freezing temps for that long. Not only did I have a good time visiting with people I also sold a lot of stuff....so I am happy! The scents of the candles I made for the show are my biggest fall sellers: Hot Apple Pie, Pumpkin Pie, Home for the Holidays, Candy Corn, Sugar Cookie, Harvest Spice, Pears & Berries, Black Cherry, Black Raspberry Vanilla and Spiced Cranberry. If you see anything you like-let me know....I may be having a fall online soon! :) Hope you have a great day and make sure you leave me a message too! You know how I love that! :)

What a fun thing and to hold it in a big old barn..very neat! Women love to shop at these kinds of things and the homemade goods are treasures for sure! You are an ambitious lady to make your own candles..they sound/smell wonderful!
ReplyDeleteCome say hi :D
A fun time! I need to try your soy candles-hear they are better to burn. Love fall craft shows!
ReplyDeleteI can almost smell those candles from here. They sound delicious.
ReplyDeleteThere is a family that holds a barn craft sale a stones throw from me. I think she has three per year. I should ask her if she would like to add to her merchandise. Maybe rent out a space.....hmmmmm. I'll have to get over there.
wow..that sounds like a lot of fun....One thing I like about fall is the craft shows.
ReplyDeleteNever seen a barn that clean! Sounds like great fun and always love making money.
ReplyDeleteGoing to check out your site. I don't know any thing about soy candles. But may be interested in one or two.
