Success!

April 29, 2001

G

Sounds like a was a good day all around for you. Now that you know that the baby will

stay with other people, you should do it more often so she'll get used to it. It will be good

for "Mom", also.

So what was this guy doing staring at your display for 10 minutes? Stealing ideas or what?

Or was he just a stalker?

You never know with scents what people are going to veer towards. I thought the fruity

scents were the "big" thing this year just by looking in the stores and seeing what the

industry was displaying. Go figure!!

success!

Success isn't always measured in dollars!! We had the show down in Liverpool today, and, unfortunately we didn't make out as well as we had hoped money-wise. We made something like only $100, BUT! we did meet a lot of nice new people, including a gal who does some tole painting and this was her first show. We did a swappie for some stuff. I also saw an elder women who I had met at the Westhill show while visiting Colleen who traded me some things for one of her books for babies.Of course, I got to see a lot of Colleen, who was solo for the day -- so I went over and checked on her a lot to see if she needed breaks. and lovely Terri came to annoy us <VBG> as well.That, however, wasn't the cool part. What WAS, though, was the fact that Baby Bridget spent her first day with someone other than me or ! She stayed the whole day with my friend Colleen (not OUR Colleen,obviously, since she was at the Liverpool show, too) and was purported to be a joy. I was SO thrilled!! I honestly thought (and so did Coll) that we would be seeing Buggie right around 1:30.anyway...weirdest thing. I guess it takes all kinds...BUT! Mom and I were running the table and talking to people and this guy comes up and just starts staring at our stuff. Mom talks to him and asks if he'd like to smell some of our testers....and he kinda gives her a curt "no"...but then stands there and intently analyzes our whole display for the next 10 minutes. Yeah, Mom and I put together a mean display...worship us! LOL. Oh, yeah, and then there was the biker guy...LOLWe're trying some new things: men's cologne along with some guy scents. They were met with just an "ok". Coll, I couldn't talk your husband into trying one! He said he was rather bound to you now LOL We actually introduced part of the baby line publically at the show and had a good response. Bridget's Blend in both soap and lotion kicked butt. Of course, lavender did well. So did our Orchard Herbal. Strangely, though (or maybe not so strange), our buying public seems to be leaning towards patchouli and earthy fragrances lately. What has everyone else been finding?Ona down note, I think my fall from Leesa on Wednesday night must have done some serious torque-age to my neck. it hurts like the dickens tonight, and I'm rather wishing someone would just do like MarieAntoinette and be off with my head!Must scoot! Bridget is being a maniac again...and with gone fpor the next week,I have my hands full!GOur members maphttp://.homestead.com/locations.htmlOur Message Boardhttp://www.voy.com/21568/Special Invite for membershttp://soapwerks.com/martinrectangle.htmAll posts to this list are copyrighted by post author.

You bet the time away will do me good! For 10 months I have had

exactly 2 days off. I love Bridget...but she is exhausting!

LOL about the stalker! Jeez, if he was a stalker, he should look

like...Ed , or Brad Pitt...or Mel Gibson or something! LOL

Honestly, I think he was scoping our stuff. LOL At least he could

have been either a) more secretive; or just not so blatantly silly-

looking! if *I* had been scoping someone's stuff, I would have been

right in there, just like a customer. I know; I've done it before.

LOL

But, it was very slow there yesterday -- and I heard that from a

regular at this show. Disappointing. At least I now have product

for the shop in Sackets Harbor, which seems to be doing a decent turn-

over.

And....no more show until fall (I think!)

Jim:

FANTASTIC !!! Well that is good news:)

You are now an official kombuchite;) LOL

The taste you describe sounds about right, Actually from this point on,

the brew for you is the one that your taste buds are happiest with. Some

like it on the sweet side, while some prefer the tart. I personally

prefer one that kind of teases back and forth not sweet but not tart.

But I am glad that you are happy about it. Congratulations:)

I wanted to try this liver with the recipe first to

make sure it would work, since what I had eaten in

Germany was calves liver. The liver was terrific - a

little stronger than the calves liver, but still

great.

Liver with Fruit

Season liver with sea salt and pepper Sear quickly

in butter (clarified is best but melted but is ok).

The liver should still be rare. Meanwhile take slices

of fruit - I used peaches, but mango or apple would

work, too - and saute in butter either in a separate

skillet or the same one as the liver if there is room.

Remove liver and fruit to serving platter, and

deglaze pan with chicken broth. Reduce slightly and

add some balsamic vinegar. Pour sauce over fruit and

liver. It is best to eat a small pice of fruit with

each piece of liver (at least that is how I do it) so

make sure there is plenty of fruit.

We just finished eating our liver. mmmMMMM MMMmmm GOOD. Will, the

FRESH liver really is terrific, and Sara, we used your recipe with

fruit. I did the liver in a combination of coconut oil and butter,

and added mango to a little straight butter at the side of the pan

just as I was turning the liver to its second side. So the mango

didn't really cook, just warmed up with butter. We liked it all so

much that we really pigged out and ate more than usual!

I am just so excited, as you may know I released my three solid

perfumes two weeks ago. Well this afternoon a customer of mine called

and wanted a gift set for her sister, I put a nice gift bag together

for her. I included a White Witch Gold perfume. Within an hour of her

picking up her order I got orders for 4 more of the perfumes from

women who smelled the perfume, they all wanted one. They called it

*gorgeous*!

I am so happy, I knew White witch Gold was good, but when a woman goes

and falls in love with my perfume then I just know I have done

something right.

I am sooo happy!

I just had to share this... for one it is such a contrast to how I

felt the other day when I messed up *bad* DWTTAI and just to say that

the downs of a natural perfumer are the pits but the highs are *so*

worth it.

And one other thing, even though I am only making solid perfumes at

this point and still have a long way to go, I *love* saying I am a

Natural Perfumer. It doesn't matter how your hair looks or what

clothes you are wearing, when you say 'Natural Perfumer' people's eyes

fill with respect! Thats' my perception anyway, but then for the first

time in my life I *know* what I want to be. And that gives me more

*self* respect than anything else could!

How we see ourselves is how other people see us!

Sorry for ranting on : ) I think that Buzz I was talking about before

has just hit my shore!

Congratulations, Ruth. What a thrill to have your perfume take off

like that - I'm sure we could all feel it in your letter.

Interesting last remark.

Wishing you continued success of this sort,

Isn't it an incredible rush, to get good feedback? Let's you know

Hey, are you saying you can look like a tropical hippie -- think

Margaritaville -- and get respect? Then I'm OK, lol.

Thanks Kris. It was sooooo fun to see her so excited about something, and for

her to notice she wasnt even worried about it! Hopefully this will help her

transition into kindergarten better, now she will at least be comfortable with

the bus.

January 30, 2007

Thanks. So do I.

We held her back from Kindergarten this year, had a hard time deciding LAST

minute, but she was having SO much anxiety it just wasn't her time to go to

school. I went to a parent info meeting last night for kids going to K this

coming fall and saw the teacher she would have had if she went this year. She

was so nice, asked how Abby was doing, asked if we felt we made the right

decision, was glad to hear things are going well with her at preschool, etc. It

was nice to know that she remembered, and she actually teared up when I told her

how well things are going for Abby right now. I REALLY hope she gets her for K

when she does go. Of course, to Abby, that IS her K teacher - period.

Sharon,

My daughter Lindsey is 6 and in first grade this year. She is alot like Abby.

When my daughter overcomes a fear or tries something " big " on her own (like

riding the bus), I always make a picture of it (or find one on the internet as I

can't draw! - I laminate it and make it into a magnet. I put it on the

refrigerator. I display all of the things she was afraid of that she overcame,

or all of the neat " new " things she can do. I tell her to keep doing new things

because I LOVE magnets and think she is making my fridge so pretty! Then we

look at the pictures and talk about how super she is doing. I think it really

helps her to " see " them displayed -- gives her a sense of confidence to try and

conquer new things.

Congrats to you and Abby!
