Looking Ahead

We do very few shows in the summer anymore.  When we first started out, we tried to do as many shows as possible, and that included a lot of outdoor shows in the heat of summer.  We finally learned that when the temperature is so high that we have to put the lip balms on ice to keep them from melting, it's really too hot for anyone to buy anything.

So we generally use the summer to build up inventory, to make products for the fall season.  We're looking ahead to all the great shows coming up this fall, and we wanted to give you a peek at what we are anticipating doing come autumn.

Please note that this is a preliminary list, subject to change.  Keep checking back here or on our Facebook page for updated information.    So what follows is a list of the shows we hope to see you at this fall.
