Juanita Friday Market recap

It was gorgeous on the shores of Lake Washington on Friday. Sunny, the perfect temperature...
People were happy to be out and about on such a lovely day.

We offered special pricing on some items to celebrate opening day of the market. And, everyone who purchased something got a free lip balm. We were really pushing the new flavor (chocolate orange truffle from Brambleberry) because it smells so great!

Some of the other items for sale: flowers, herbs, baked goods, veggies, jewelry, batik, glass, honey, dips, soup (can't wait for the Thai Pumpkin in the fall), and seafood. And, ready to eat: kettle corn, gyros, crepes, and hot dogs. During the course of the afternoon & evening, I had 2 gyros, kettle corn and a lemonade.

Beautiful herbs from Mt. Vernon Herbs:
Poppies. I swear, they are real:

First of the season garlic. Delicious!

We'll be there next week! I'm looking forward to getting more people hooked on handcrafted soap and seeing what else the farmer's will be bringing in!

Juanita Friday Market opens today!!

We're introducing two new products today. And, we'll have special opening day offers including free lip balm for the first 50 purchasers.

The new products are Mozz Off and the chocolate orange truffle lip balm. The Mozz Off is looking pretty darn good in our new packaging.

Dad is labeling lip balm. He had a great idea - a line on the tubes to help you line up the labels so they go on straight.

Thanks, engineer Dad!

He's labeling my newest lip balm - chocolate orange truffle. Got it at Brambleberry. It's smells so good, it's sick!

Product feedback from a first time Pepo Parker

Today I got a nice post on my Facebook* page from a first time Pepo Park shopper/user.

From Liz:

[The] Lavender bath bomb was the bomb...my little guy was rubbing his eyes (tired) by the end of the bath! And that lip balm...never had lip balm like that before. I think a good name for it would be "Lip Lust" or "Lip Sex" but apparently those names are taken :). thanks Kim

She bought the bath bombs as a treat for her young kids. I told her they'd help calm them and make them sleepy. She was skeptical, but bought them anyway. Looks like they did their job.
