Sweet Sally's Soaps News: February 2009

Welcome to Sweet Sally's Soaps News! This is my first post on my very first blog so here goes!! First I guess I should tell you a little about myself and what my main purpose is for this blog. As you might have guessed from the title I'm from PA and I'm a soapmaker and a photographer. I am part of an Etsy team called the HIP Team (Handmade in PA). We are all blogging on why we are "Proud to be From PA" and at the same time all offering promotions in our Etsy shops.(see links below) By the way my promotion is buy any 3 soaps in my shop for $15.00, more on that later.

I was born and raised in PA, lived in several other areas of the country including Florida and Arizona, and moved back to PA to be close to family. I have to say since moving back to PA I have met more talented artist and craftsmen than I have anywhere else that I have lived. I am an advocate of supporting local and regional business's especially when it comes to handmade and local grown foods. In the summers I sell my soaps at farmers market so I have become very interested in the Buy Fresh Buy Local food movement.

My main purpose for this blog will be to list and review craft shows and events that I will be attending. I hope to interview fellow artisans about their experiences at these events. My first craft show this year is coming up next weekend at the Maryland State Fairground in Timonium. The show is the Maryland Spring Craft Show and it runs for two weekends March 6-8 & 13-15.
