A Very Happy New Year...

After months of carting our bins around to the Farmer's Market and any number of craft shows, we've set up tiny area in the office of Michele's boarding kennel as a permanent "store".  It's been convenient for people who want to drop in to replenish their soap supply, and we've been adding to the rest of our product line as well. The long-term plan would be to have a bigger, off-the-grid building, but for now this has been a great step.
The continuing mild weather has helped us tremendously... we've gotten more fencing put up and we're almost finished a new run-in for the older boys.   Christmas was fun for all - the kids got clothes and the animals got toe trimming!

We will all of our friends and supporters a very Merry Christmas, a Happy Hanukkah, and all the very best for 2015. 

See you in the New Year.

On the verge of winter (again)

Our first craft show season!  We have been vendors at a number of local shows, learning the ropes and meeting amazing people.  We usually find the vendors helpful and friendly - we loved our Farmer's Market family.  Our last show was last weekend so now we can finish getting ready for winter.  The older boys' new run-in is almost finished and we've decided to put a secure door on it so they can overnight there if need be.  We've had coyotes coming around again, so we've been locking all the animals up in the barn - it will be nice to more options for them.  We have plans to reinforce the gate to the little boys' barn, and then the girls can take over the big barn again.
We've also been experimenting with UPCYCLED DRYER BALLS, in addition to our wool ones.  The patterns that the blankets and sweaters come in make the balls all unique.   Soon we'll be opening up our store page, and the dryer balls will be available along with our soaps, socks, and other fun things!
