Hello 2009 and Goodbye 2008!


Hello everyone!

Sorry we have not been keeping up our postings. We have been very busy with our holiday fairs and holiday events. Our telegraph fair went not as smooth as we planned. First day there- Sunny and slightly windy but manageable. We only got a 8 foot booth, so we cant possibly open our 10ft canopy. Especially since your neighbor only has a 5ft table with no umbrella. Oh well, at least we have a brown umbrella to hold on to. Later in the day is another story.. An unexpected shower of rain came by and soaked most of my candles and soap. I ran to shield them with my body but I am only so big. The rain shooed most of the patrons away but there was one lady who was a trooper that stayed until she was done with the purchase. For this I am very grateful!

We decided to bring our canopy next time if it starts raining unexpectedly even if we have a small space. Luckily for the rainy days, our neighbors would decide not to come and a bigger spot we get. Which was very nice! I enjoy sitting comfortably even if it is freezing. But several times we ended being direct neighbors to another soy candle company which was not very good for business. Its nice to have competition but not next to each other. Sales were good and fair for this winter. Feedback from our customers regarding our products were awesome and we thank you everyone for the support. We do have high hopes for the new year and is working on adding more fantastic products to Senses and Scents!

Keep your eyes open! 2009! Here we come!
