Market Season Begins

Spring has arrived in California with gusto, and I like to kick of my market season with something a little different. This year, I vended at the Vacaville Fantasy Festival, and it was a blast!

Vacaville is a bit of a drive from Blushie HQ, so we were up at 5am loading the car but arrived a bit earlier than expected. I'm generally okay with this, as the first day of any festival it's always difficult to judge just how much time you'll need to get things straightened out.

We tried out the new giant "SOAP" sign that Joey so carefully painted, and it was a hit. You could see people a block away point it out and then come wandering on over.

Surprisingly, it ended up being very hot both days (moreso on Saturday than Sunday) so we had to be very careful with the placement of Whipped Sheas and Bath Melts.

As the day got warmer, more people started dropping by in search of one of our lip balms. Best selling was the Unflavored balm, followed shortly by French Vanilla. The festival fire-eater even purchased and approved the Unflavored Lip Balm!


Best selling soaps at this festival were:
Blackberry Sage
Seaberry
Appletini
Sandalwood
White Peach

This season is off to a great start! Come visit us May 2nd and 3rd at the Livermore Wine Festival!
