A Supersonic Good Time
December 13, 2006
Yep! Supersonic! That’s the best way to describe this past weekend’s Atomic Holiday Bazaar!
We left early (up at 4:30, on the road an hour later) and stopped in Arcadia for breakfast. We got to the Sarasota Municipal Auditorium just in time to start setting up. Crazy stuff! Here’s a few shots before the doors were opened:
We got right to work setting up the Natural Magic Soaps booth. I hadn’t had a chance to set everything up before the show but was really pleased with how it turned out:
Overall we had an amazing show, selling out of several items and wishing I’d made more! The turnout was amazing and Adrien & Cemantha should be really pleased with themselves; all their hard work paid off in spades!
Highlights:
GREAT band
Having a line of people waiting to get into the booth.
Meeting so many awesome people and finally putting faces with those names. Sonic cheesecake bites.
Scoring some Vanilla Spice Chai Vegan Whipped Body Frosting from Luca
FINALLY getting home!
A huge thank you to everyone who came out to the show, to Adrien & Cemantha for all their work in making it a success and to everyone who was a vendor- ALL the stuff rocked!

The article mentions Natural Magic Soaps, Craft Revolution and the Indie Friendly Directory!

On The Drying Rack
Today the drying rack is pretty full! Here’s what we have:
Hot Apple Pie
Everyone who has smelled this scent tells me it is dead on, which I have to agree with. A wonderful soap for the holidays!
Lemongrass And Sage
This all natural soap gets it’s color from annatto seed and french green clay. The clean, lemony scent comes from a blend of Lemongrass Essential Oil and Clary Sage Essential Oil. One of my favorites!
Pina Colada
I can’t help but start singing each time I sniff these bars. Can you name the tune? “BRINGGGGGG me two pina coladas….I want one for each hand….”
Not an all natural soap, but boy does this smell good- a fruity mixture of coconut and pineapple that is heavenly!
In The Soap Pot
What’s coming next? Toasted Vanilla Sugar, Iced Cranberry…the list goes on!
