Eola Market


I did really well at the Eola Market today. It was a very busy day and sold a bit of everything. This year looks to be very promising. I just signed up to attend a local candlemakers convention. This will be my first time going to one. So I hope to pick up a lot of tips, and make new friends. I am thinking about ways to expand my marketing. I hope to have my website up and running in a few days.. or that might be weeks, but I hope to start putting the word out.

Incense

I have been so busy today making more incense. Incense really sells well at the Eola Market. Of course I help it out by burning it all day. :)

I hope to post some pictures soon of what my setup looks like at the EM. It does take a lot out of me, but I hope one day to retire and be just a candlemaker. Working a full time job at the Mouse House doesn't leave me a lot of creative time. I try here and there to grab some, but there is always something to do. Well all for now...

Busy...Busy..Busy

Busy making new candles last night. Amber came over for dinner and we watched a few shows. It is always so nice to spend time with my kids. I love them and miss them. Time goes by too quickly. I'm going to try and spend more time with my family and friends....I know everyone says that, but only YOU can make the time.

It was a very busy weekend. Sometimes I just wonder when I will ever have a quiet moment to just sit and enjoy the peace and quiet.

Sunday I was again at the Eola Market, I'll be there every Sunday till Memorial Day. I'm thinking of adding a banner sign to my both to attract more attention. Sales were a bit slow this week, but I guess I can't always have a big day. The candles are selling and so is the incense. I hope to add more incense in a few months. This summer I will spend making new candles and trying out new designs for candles. Jeff is still working on the website and hope to have it up by this weekend.

I am going to try and post a few pictures of my both for any who care to take a peak.

That's all for now, have to go read up more on Scotland... I just can't wait for vacation.

I'm Back

I have tried to post blogs for a few months now and kept getting error messages. So I am starting all over again.
