" older "

drugs that it has to be approved or re-approved. something about a grand

father clause. I also did not catch all of the news. anyone else hear

anything?

introduction

Hi everyone.....I guess it's time that I quit lurking and introduce myself.

I received an email from Kim a couple of weeks ago inviting me to join and

since then I've been so busy that I haven't taken the time to sit down and

post. My name is Katy and I have a very small soap business called Naples

Creek Soaps & Sundries. I'm located in Naples (NY of course) and mainly just

sell my product at craft shows and from my website. I do have my soaps in 2

gift shops (co-ops) but haven't really done wholesale yet. Soapmaking has

been my hobby and passion since 1998 but, unfortunately, I have a full time

job (gotta pay for those soap supplies!) that keeps me very busy as well. I

do most of my soaping on weekends but try and get a few batches in during

those late nights in the week when I've got time to myself. I'm divorced

with 2 daughters (12 and 16) and have been engaged for about 7 years! My

fiance' and I have been together for almost 10 years now, have built a house

together (that we now live in) and may even be considered married by common

law. :-)One of these days we will have that wedding. I've been reading

everyones messages and sure wish I could have made the gathering. Sounded

like a lot of fun. I looked at the map but it's still hard to tell just

where everyone is from. A few from Rochester maybe? I know Kim is in

Leicester which isn't far from me and I drive through there everyday to go

to work. I've been getting almost all of my supplies online so if anyone has

any hints on suppliers close to me (or Rochester even), I would be forever

greatful. The shipping kills me. Nice to " meet " you all!

's beanie babies are lined up having lunch right now. They were in

circle time. PE should be next, oops, said recess (play) is next.

He pretends he is Ms Margarucci and they are the students. He will mimic

his daily schedule at school. Took me awhile to catch on. He can say

Margarucci (just Margarucci...no Ms or Miss) but not " no " . Go figure!

SMALL WORLD!!! Yes, is my hubby! I read your note to him and he was

amazed! " I know her! She's so nice! "

I'm so glad you like my soap. Thimbleberry Hill is going strong! I've

opened a shop on Main Street in Geneseo. I give classes out of the shop

also.

Right now I'm thinking of adding soaping supplies. Do you think there's

enough call around here?

Thank you everyone for the warm welcome. Shaye, I looked at your website and

realized that I found you out there awhile ago while surfing and was so

impressed with your site. I love the " earthy/natural " look! It's beautiful!

Thank you also for the link to Olive Tree Soaps. With Naples being such a

small town, you'd think we'd have run into each other before! I'll have to

look her up the next time I'm in need of some butters. Also, Lizz, I just

saw your posting and was wondering if your company name is Thimbleberry

Hill? If so, your soap is what I was buying before I started making my own.

Well, I'll confess, I still buy it when I come across it! It's excellent

soap! I first started using handmade soap about 6 years ago when my fiance's

mother sent me some from British Columbia. I shopped around until I found

Thimbleberry Hill and then stayed with that. Are you any relation to Pete

Savard? If so, it's a very small world! I work for BOCES in computer support

and we do a lot of work at Livonia school where Pete is technology

coordinator. Of course we're not there very often as he pretty much has

everything under control! We like that but still love to come to Livonia

once in awhile. I think I'm going to enjoy this list. It's nice to talk to

other soapers from the area. Thanks again for the welcome everyone!

Wow, Lizz! Are postings must have crossed. Must be you are the maker of my

favorite soap! Nice to finally " meet " . :-) Once again, I've got to say, your

soap is incredible. You should be proud.

Well I always wondered if the person on the back of those soap labels was

any relation of his but I never got around to asking. Very cool! Now he can

defend me when all the guys at work pick on me for making my own soap! :-)

I drive through Geneseo quite often but rarely go down Main St. That's great

news that you've got a shop there now. Congratulations! I've been asked by

the shop owner at Village Gifts in Fairport if I'd ever give classes there

but I'm just not outgoing enough to teach. She still asks once in awhile

though (that's one of the shops that I have my soap in).

I would be very interested in purchasing supplies from you if you ever

decide to carry them. Please let me know! I have my buckets of Coconut and

Palm shipped in from Columbus Foods and the shipping cost is terrible. About

the only thing I'm getting locally is Olive Oil, lye, beeswax and now maybe

butters from Olive Tree. Essential Oils and Fragrance Oils would be great

also (but maybe I'm being greedy)!

Very nice meeting you. Tell Pete I said hello.

Katy, thanks for the compliment on my site! What places do you have your

soaps in? I need to get my nerve up, get out and get some local accounts

(have gotten some across the country but not local). Right now I have a

booth at LW Emporium which is doing really well, and just sell online.
