Title: Todays the day Post by: andykim on November 14, 2008, 11:30:40 AM I have my very own craft party tonight with a card & gift wrap stall, cake stall, jewelery stall and of course me. I hoped to have a lady doing facials or manicures but she went away at the last minuet which is a shame.
I am not sure how many to expect I gave out 60 flyers to people. Did say RSVP but people do not seem to do that even for my Saskia's B/parties (so rude). OH moved some of his upholstery in to the hall as an advert then I realised the vacuum is in the cupboard behind it all. Shame none of you are closer to come.

Title: Re: Todays the day Post by: andykim on November 15, 2008, 03:58:19 PM Went well not as many as I would have liked but I sold a lot & my friends were amazed at the amount I now produce.
Had a lovely evening & even had a visit from my aunt & cousin. I have not seen them for about 5 years so that was nice. Seems facial oils bath salts are the in thing at the moment sold at lot of them but only 3 bars of soap. Have some pictures so when I get on my computer (I am on Saskia's & cannot get to a USB to plug the camera in) I will post them. Will do another evening in the spring & hopefully get a lady in to do facials & manicures & make it a pamper night.

Title: Re: Todays the day Post by: corrie on November 15, 2008, 07:03:21 PM Well done CL, it's nerve wracking isn't it? Not only are your products on show but also your house! Good for you for doing it though.
That's a nice idea to have massage, nail bar etc, might pinch that ;) Would be nice to have a few rooms with different stalls/products.....I said I wouldn't do another one, but that sounds fun. Title: Re: Todays the day Post by: Helen on November 15, 2008, 07:06:27 PM Oh, that is fantastic CL, well done you!!! I really am pleased it was a success and that you enjoyed it (enough to another ;)) ;D
Title: Re: Todays the day Post by: Sal on November 15, 2008, 07:42:22 PM Well done Kim! I'm glad it went well for you. :buttrf:
Title: Re: Todays the day Post by: JGorse on November 15, 2008, 09:56:33 PM Well done CL.
Title: Re: Todays the day Post by: Suegardner on November 16, 2008, 08:57:26 AM Thats brilliant! You do find people are surprised to find you do actually make products properly and in large amounts dont you? My family were all yeah yeah yeah when I started SoapyChica, but now they are being rather helpful and almost proud :mwaha:
Title: Re: Todays the day Post by: andykim on November 17, 2008, 02:43:25 PM Yes it was the same for me. I think people expect a few manky looking soaps & a bottle of oil what a shock.
I am going to go on my computer tomorrow so I will post some pictures then. If any of you girls have the room give it a go it not only helps you but also other people like you that are making things.

Title: Re: Todays the day Post by: EJ on November 17, 2008, 06:35:04 PM That's a goodly stand and lots of lovely goodies in your soaping kitchen.
Title: Re: Todays the day Post by: Helen on November 17, 2008, 09:37:34 PM That looks brilliant CL! Well done you !!
Title: Re: Todays the day Post by: JGorse on November 17, 2008, 09:40:39 PM You've been busy CL. Well done!
Title: Re: Todays the day Post by: Joy on November 17, 2008, 10:57:31 PM I love those little hamper baskets. Well done they look fab and very professional.
Title: Re: Todays the day Post by: andykim on November 18, 2008, 11:09:13 AM I love finding different baskets & bags to make up as gift sets. For fairs they are great as you can sell them as one offs or limited editions. People love that idea.
Saskia does all the decoration such as tying the ribbons or putting roses buds round the top of the organza bags. My fingers have arthritis in them so I am not so nibble with them as she is & she loves coming up with ideas on how to decorate the sets. |
