Thank You, Santa Monica!

The Santa Monica show was so amazing! People had such nice things to say about the soapery's inventory, and we sold much more than we had expected! The weather stayed clear, and despite the rain clouds all around, shoppers came by in a steady stream to pick up unique handmade gifts for everyone on their list.


Here are some photos of our booth and some of what we were selling. We had 11 different kinds of dessert soap, snowflake soap, peppermint bark soap, polka dot and "drizzle" soaps, and Japanese stamp soaps.  People loved the scents of our soaps and the fact that they were all made with great ingredients like goats' milk and aloe vera.  It was great fun to get feedback from customers...and to meet all the other artists and vendors selling their creations as well.

Thanks to everyone who came out and supported the soapery, and a special thank you to Debra Nakatomi and Sue Oda, who hosted the show. Now back to soap-making mode for the upcoming show in Orinda!

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

  1. Holy crap! Your soaps are GORGEOUS. (Not that I am all that surprised, but still . . . .) The Japanese stamped ones are my favorite. But I'm off to check out all your other designs too.

  2. Incidentally, do you think you'll sell on the internet? Via etsy perhaps?

  3. Aw, thank you thank you, Mrs. Hot Cocoa! :) I'm glad that you like them...and you have a good eye...after the sushi soaps, those Japanese stamped ones are the most labor intensive of the bunch! But I love how they turn out...and they smell like cherry to match the cherry blossoms. And, yes! I'm planning on getting my stuff up on etsy ASAP...as soon as our last craft show is done. I hope they sell!
