What a show season!

We spent this weekend at the American Red Cross Holiday Craft Show at the Kingston Armory. What a wonderful time we had. This year we expanded to double booths when possible and what a difference it makes. It allows our customers the opportunity to peruse our goods and an opportunity for us to spend time with them, which I love. This photo was taken at just after 9 am when the show opened. Tina is at the register and Angie was jockeying our cars out of the show's parking lot.  I couldn't have done this show without them!

We saw so many of our returning friends/customers, several who came out to the show just to visit us.  Thank you to all!  We have so much fun with our friends/customers and some heart moments too.  I feel so blessed that people have opened their hearts to our Friends, Emma and our mission. I love that people bring other people and share with them about what we do and why we do it. I heard it many times this weekend, people coming into the booth, bringing someone new to us and explaining Emma's Friends to them as they come in.  What a gift. What they don't see is my heart break and soar at the same time.  Breaking for their kindness and caring for our mission and soaring because they want to share it with their friends.

And then, there are the accolades for our goods, which is also humbling. Year over year, we hear people say they love our mission and to hear they love our products is wonderful. They say, "We love your mission and what you do and your products are just amazing." We've heard some wonderful stories of how our goods have been enjoyed and given. And to see the gift recipients come in then, and purchase for themselves. Lovely.

And so has been the story of our growth...  we are so grateful and thankful to all who have opened their hearts and stepped out to try our goods... and come back again and again. As we wind down the show season, with only two small shows left, I can't imagine what next year will hold for us. But... I can't wait to find out!

Thank you to all ...  hope to see some of you at the Valley County Club (private show for members) on Thursday and then at our season closer, Hawley's Winterfest on December 11th.  A great place to end the season... my hometown and a beautiful celebration of the holiday season.  Hawley's Winterfest is really a fantastic way to celebrate the season.

Be well, stay warm and look up!
Lynn and all of Emma's Friends

New Gift Set!

Face It!  Our latest gift set just in time for Christmas.

Our Face It gift set includes our much loved Fancy Face, our all natural face wash made of sunflower oil, coconut oil, aloe and honey with a touch of honey and almond essential oil; Botanical Beauty, our jam-packed botanical extract face moisturizer which also has collagen, lactic acid and sunflower oil (a fantastic light molecule oil which can penetrate the skin which it loves so much); and ... introducing... our newest item in the Face Line: Sweet Cream Face Scrub!  All this wonderful goodness for $29.50 in a fantastic little gift box with a window and satin ribbon bow.  Lovely!

Our new Sweet Cream Face Scrub is made with a variety of milks (butter, goat and regular) as well as colloidal oatmeal, allatonin and sugar!  Well, yes, of course, sugar.  Everyone has fallen in love with our Sumptuous Sugar Scrub and for years we have been asked about a face scrub.  So... finally, it's out! 

This yummy little gift set will be unveiled at the American Red Cross show at the Kingston Armory this weekend, Saturday (9 - 4) and Sunday (10 - 4).  Be sure to come by... we have MORE SURPRISES in store... or at least in the booth!  ;)

Love, Lynn & all of Emma's Friends

a year and a half hiatus from blogging, but hopefully we're back

It's hard to believe it could have been THAT long since I have used the blog, but unfortunately, the post dates don't lie.

We have really done a lot in that time, the blog is something of a time capsule in that regard.

Right now, we are in the throws of our show season and the response has been amazing. Thank you to all who have come out to see and shop with us. I hope you have found some wonderful new things as well as your faves from past seasons.

The Red Cross show is nearly upon us and we are really looking forward to the 20 x 10 space! We absolutely need it anymore although at some shows it's impossible to get more space. We appreciate your squeezing in with us in the smaller booths! And for those of you who take the time to circle around the show waiting for an opening in the booth... hopefully you won't have to do that this weekend. : )

More on the show later... we have some new gift sets we are bringing out and a new product too. This one has been on the request list for some time so hopefully everyone will be happily surprised to see it finally come out. I'll let the secret out of the bag a little later... promise.

Have a great Tuesday everyone.

Lynn & all of Emma's Friends
