We kept it simple, but festive for the season!
Soaps all lined up!
Candles were there! German Roasted Nuts was a clear winner - we sold out!
I got this stand just earlier this week -
it worked perfectly to hold tarts high where they were easy to see!
Everyone uses soap of some sort - what's so great about ours?
Here's a few reasons why OHTC soap is different!

The best five year old sales girl ever!
I had some amazing helpers – my husband, my eldest daughter (who asked everyone
to smell the soap!) and even my younger daughter waved hi to folks as they
passed by.
We really enjoyed Hunters Moon – an annual fall festival over in Land Between the Lakes here in Kentucky – and especially appreciated the volunteers and locals who worked hard to make it happen. Events like these can’t happen without them! The weather was great, the people who passed by were pleasant, and the girls generally had a good time.
Being a relative unknown in the area, since I've been 100% online until now, I was happy with how well the festival went for us. The learning experience was invaluable, and we made enough to begin preparations for a physical location in one of Murray's flea markets!
A note about Harvest Homecoming in New Albany, IN: This year, I did apply to have a booth setup at Harvest Homecoming. I am from that area, and still have many friends and family there (NAHS class of ’99 represent!). I was gently cautioned by one of the organizers that competition would be stiff this year with about 5 other soap and candle makers there. We crafters always appreciate being warned about this possibility as it helps us to better plan where to put our efforts and resources in the future. We are definitely considering the possibility of having a booth there next year, especially if our local schools (where our eldest daughter will be a Kindergartener in 2014) are on Fall Break the same week. I appreciate so much hearing how missed we were at this year’s festival, and it is definitely a major consideration for next year’s event! Thank you for thinking of us!
