So, where has the soap girl been???

Making soap of course. We're gearing up for the busiest holiday season ever. Our FedEx & UPS people are feeling the pains of the season already as an average of 3 boxes show up on a doorstep everyday.

We are ordering all of the things we'll need to hopefully get us through the next 4 months & the 15 confirmed shows we have left on our schedule!

Our soap rack (for drying soap that is) is full to the brim, which poses another interesting problem, we have more soap to add to it. We have the biggest inventory of product ever, and we're worried it's not going to be enough... good problem to have I know, that is except for when you're up all night making more (time to make the donuts...)

We're heading this weekend to the Grant Park Summer Shade Festival. It's our 1st time there and we hope it's not a wash-out. Good 'ole Fay (the storm) has been lingering all week long, and frankly we're over it.

Then we are setting up shop here to take a look at our display, tweak it as much as we can, then pack it up and head northbound to Chicago. I've heard amazing things about Renegade, and I hope they are all true. If they are we'll try to head to Brooklyn (and maybe even squeeze in their holiday show this year.) I've made my shopping list - that is if I get a moment to step out of my space. The list includes my favorite jewelry designer Freshie & Zero - I haven't seen her in months, can't wait to see what's new and of course the ICE Atlanta Girls. Other than those two for sure I'll be walking around with my head spinning looking at all of the indie craft.

Then we're back home to visit our folks at Sun Trust Plaza with a trunk show at Rejuvenate Spas & finishing September up with the East Atlanta Strut - now this is a fun one!

Now off to make soap, but don't have any more room for it. Hmmm...
