Crazy Times!!!

Hi to all, and my apologies for not getting information to you sooner :( We've had a high school graduation, a graduation party, a "son" home on leave from the Navy, his re-deployment, and...............Hubby went back to work after being away from the Elevator Constructor industry for almost 2 YEARS! We're praying this job lasts so we can attempt to catch up on the finances.

We've added several new shows to our schedule so be sure to hop over to our website and check out the events page in the right column. the Univers
ity of New Hampshire has invited Rocky Corner Soapworks to their 30th annual Evergreen Fair being held the first weekend in December. This is a chance to purchase last minute high-quality gifts for Christmas AND UNH opens their greenhouses so the public can purchase their special poinsettias.

We were recently contacted by someone who invited Rocky Corner Soapworks to participate in the Metropolitan Cooking and Entertaining Expo being held the first weekend in November in Washington, DC. This show is sponsored in part by the Food network and should be a terrific opportunity for RCS to shine in a more nationally known trade show. We're open to suggestions for a dis
play...we have a corner booth with 10' on two sides of the booth (20') total. That same weekend we'll be participating in what we call the World Trade Center Show in Boston. Sooooooooooooo, we've been busy trying to get ahead in production while we can.

Our new Carrot & Oatmeal soap is selling like mad, folks!! We use all parts of the carrot and liquid (except the stem) adding additional vitamins and nutrients into the final product. Remember, everything that touches your skin can potentially harm you: your skin is the largest organ in your body!!! and should be taken care of just like you'd take care of any other important body part :)

We've recently tested Lemon Poppyseed and LOVE, LOVE it! Very sharp and clean smelling with poppy seeds for scrub action. Men and women alike will gravitate to this terrific soap and it will be 'THE BOMB' in the kitchen sink side.

The gardens are growing like mad...we've made one harvest of lavender to dry for our Lavender soap. The second cutting is about to take place; running out of places to hang it to dry.


The pool is 90 degrees and the air is about 90 too :( Sad face because the heat/humidity really bother me. Feeling very run down and tired lately,
possibly due to my fibromyalgia or maybe it's time to hire someone~ I get butterflies in my tummy just thinking about having someone who's not a family member working for us, investing their time and energy into our products. WOW!

Friends, I could go on and on but I'll spare you until next time!

Best to you all,

Show Season is in full swing!

Our first 3-day show took place last weekend...with terrific results. Sooooo many people stopped by to pick up our soaps, handmade with olive, palm and coconut oils! My favorite customer was a lady who arrived at the show Friday and talked about how sensitive and irritable her skin is. It was blotchy, red and dry. I sent her away with our Fresh Face Honey & Almond w/Oatmeal soap. She arrived back at my booth on Sunday for more!!! She'd had a chance to use the soap 3X and said her skin felt amazing. On observation, the red & blotchy areas had eased and her skin looked soft and more smooth. Horray for her!!!

Rocky Corner Soapworks sold over 100 bars of our customer favorite, Cranberry Fig! My hubby will pull one from inventory if there isn't one in the shower...it's a "must have" for him.

Castleberry Fairs and Festivals did a great job of promoting the Specialty Food and Craft Fair in Salem, NH this past weekend. Kudos to them and their team for being organized and on top of things.

If this past weekend is any indication, Rocky Corner Soapworks is looking at a very busy pre-holiday rush. Our next large show is Thanksgiving weekend at the Shriners Auditorium in Wilmington, MA. After that, we move onto the Hartford Expo Center in Hartford, CT for three days. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, put your website orders in early...!

All for now...we're off to make "Great North Woods" today. Tomorrow, Orange & Clove. This weekend, Cranberry Fig. CRAZY!!
