It's SHOWTIME!!!

We had an huge snowstorm here in Georgia this week... 

but as you all know, the show must go on!!

Brent and I drove to downtown Atlanta with the car loaded down with plenty

of wonderful smelling soap to stock our shelves at the Merchandise Mart....

The roads were quite tricky but Brent was very cautious ~

We got everything up to the sixteenth floor and I started

working on our display....

I knew that the apothecary jars I found would be a BIG draw
so I knew they had to be placed on the very top shelf.

We had a beautiful, tall vase that I filled with grasses and curly willow ~

Here are a few shots, front...back...and  a few close ups.

Let's all pray, cross our fingers and do a little dance

in hopes that our new line will be received well

and that the orders will start pouring in!!

Thank you all so much for cheering me on ~
new things are scary but

with friends like you supporting me...

wonderful things can happen!!!

Wishing you great Wednesday my sweet friends,

hugs and love,

Dawn

For the love of display.....

Soooooo.....today my son Brent and I headed to downtown Atlanta (finally)

to see our display space in our showroom.

They change it up for each show ~

I LOVED IT!!!

I won't show it to you just yet but guess what???? It is so wonderful!

And we are right next to Anna Griffin's display!!!!

I've loved Anna Griffin's designs from the beginning of time ~

Everything she makes is so classy and gorgeous.

Anyway, I measured every little bit of our display space

and worked on displaying the soap we already had there....

Then I had to map out how I wanted to display our new

"Feathered Nest" line of soap ~

The neat thing?? I went shopping for props!!!

And of course you KNOW I have to get a good buy

so I made sure Hobby Lobby had their glass half off and

ended up buying three of their GORGEOUS apothecary jars to place

on the very top of the display to show off each type of soap ~

egg, lavender and shell!

Here are a few pics of what I ended up with.....

Thelma (our little kitty in the background) gives her approval!

More props for display ~

A wide mouth bowl with pretty blue glass pebbles to display

the goldfish in a bag soap!

I want to fill this wooden, aged bucket with the lavender soap ~

A wooden tray and box flipped upside down for an elevated display ~

And I already had this wonderful artificial greenery

that I'm going to incorporate into the display ~

Thanks so much for listening to my soapy ramblings!!!

I so pray this line will be something that folks will LOVE!

Have a great Wednesday dear friends,

hugs and love,

Dawn

Exciting things are happening around here!!!

We're busy finishing the last minute touches to new packaging designs

for our French-milled soap at Shop Fun Soap.....

and I've found the most PERFECT use for peat pots!!!!

Yes, I said it.

Peat pots....

I have a thing for them you know ~

they are such a sweet reminder of Spring, don't you think??

Just a little peek....if you can tell anything at all from this photo :)

Monday I'm going to the Atlanta Merchandise Mart with my son Brent to

size up our space and then we can map out our new display!!!

Wish me luck sweet friends ~

I hope you have a restful and peaceful Sunday....

hugs and love,

Dawn
