ACRES & Las Vegas

I and two other soap makers were selected by the HSMG to represent them in a booth at the ACRES Las Vegas show. It was a beautiful show with informative presentations and the staff were all extremely helpful. Unfortunately, buyer attendance was down by 20% and so many vendors were disappointed in their sales numbers (us included).

After the HSMG Conference – Key West

We are back home now and getting back to normal after the HSMG Conference and then 5 nights in Key West. I thought you might enjoy a pictorial of our visit there. If you are planning to visit I show some of the restaurants we ate at and the things we did. It’s very laid back and we had a great time! We love to learn about the history of places and so that’s a lot of what we did.

Day 1 @ HSMG Soap Conference 2011

I am sitting in my hotel room after the end of Day 1 at the HSMG (Handcrafted Soap Makers Guild) Conference 2011. The conference is being held at the Miami Hilton Downtown Hotel this year and as always it’s fabulous! Or as Feleciai says, yummy! Every year it’s amazing to me how smoothly everything runs and how they pack so much into such few hours. I come back every year for several reasons: learn about new techniques, products and what’s going on in the industry, network with other soapers and vendors to gain tips and tricks, recharge my enthusiasm for my business and have some fun and get some goodies! I am going to try to report each day from the conference with a nod to the goals I hit that day.
