My booth at the Overland Park Fall Festival was facing the southwest yesterday. I had the sunny side! It was a very warm and sunny day for late September in Kansas: in the low 80s. By the middle of the afternoon, even with my canopy, there was NO shade in my booth. First I had to put away the lip butters. Next, the lotions had to be put up. Finally, I realized the Whipped Shea Butter testers were melting and I put those away too. All I had left was the soap. Fortunately, it held up really well in the sun. I was disappointed though. I didn’t see a lot of traffic coming to my booth, and I’m hoping the rest of my Whipped Shea Butters survived somewhat intact. <\/p>\n
As I think back on my day though, there is a sunny side. Some of my best customers came to see me yesterday. The people who are really loyal and loving. They bless me so much! <\/p>\n
I also got to see one of my mom’s friends whom I hadn’t seen for many years – in fact, I’m trying to remember the last time and I can’t. She told me about her son and daughter-in-law in Omaha (they are my age and I knew them from school and church) who are teaching Sunday School in their church along with another couple who taught us<\/em> when we<\/em> were in 3rd grade. And how neat it is that the cycle continues…<\/p>\n I also talked to a family who has been buying their handmade soap from New Jersey and want to buy locally, so they are switching to mine! I talked to a woman from the booth next to mine whose daughter is getting married in June and wants me to make some custom soaps as wedding favors. <\/p>\n So while I didn’t make as much money as I was hoping, and some of my products were sweating in the sun, I think I had a pretty good day. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" My booth at the Overland Park Fall Festival was facing the southwest yesterday.
