Hi @Devonviolet , nice set up at the farmers' market. I LOVE your business cards design.

Thanks, RollingAcres! I designed the business cards myself. The violet photo is one of the violets that I grew in Manchester, PA, when we lived there. My Devonviolet Acres banner is also flowers that I grew.

This is one of my sweet hubby’s and my more recent projects. I bought three melamine plates, at Hobby Lobby for $2 each and two plastic “cut glass” glasses at Walmart for $2.38 each. DH found some threaded rod in his scrap pile and a lamp finial from a lamp we no longer use. I printed multiple photos of violets I grew, cut them apart and decopaged them to the insides of the glasses. Put them all together and I have a unique cupcake display stand.

Here is a close up view of the bigger, of the two tables.

We were using two tables, at that time. Since I have more products, as well as greens and herbs, and once a month jewelry (on craft 2nd Saturday), we have gone to three tables and make a “U” shaped configuration, with the biggest table at the back of the booth. We have a 10x10’ blue canopy, to keep the sun off.

Very nice and the display stand is unique!

My settings are set to NOT get e-mail alerts, but I am still getting them.

By the way, Devonviolet, the picture of the table at the farmers market is VERY NICE. Wish you were closer, I would like to try a few things that might help with the joint issues. Are you going to do a catalogue or even one online?

Thank you, Jan. I just posted more photos.

I don’t have a website or catalog, mainly beause shipping is expensive. However, when we were in town, today, we stopped at the post office and picked up some of their small flat rate boxes, that I think cost is something like $7.95. But, I could be wrong. I will check it out, and let you know. The 4 oz bottle is $9.00, just to let you know.

Because of her own health issues, she has extensively researched natural paths to better health. She has been her own guinea pig, keeping what worked and improving on it, discarding what didn't work. With her nurse training and background, she knows what she is doing. @farmerjan she has a lotion that is awesome for sore joints. You and I have had discussions about our crapped out knees...….DV's lotion sure helps me when my knee is deciding to quit on me. LOL

WOW! That’s quite a testamonial, Bay! Thanks. . I know that lotion works really well for a lot of my customers. I use it all the time. It not only helps with sore joints. It helps with my Fibromyalgia, restless leg and neuropathy in my right foot. I’m a mess, but as Bay says, I have come up with my products by trial-and-error. I figure, if it works for me, maybe it will work for others, and it seems to do so.

One of my customers works in Admissions, at a Dallas university. She uses a computer mouse all day long. At the end of the day, she can hardly move her right hand. After she started using my Violet’s Lotion, she just raved about it, because she could use her hand, almost immediately after rubbing it into her hand.

I’ve been getting special requests, from my customers, and am slowly adding to my offerings. I recently added an amazing Honey/Sugar face scrub. It has several healing oils and a couple amazing smelling essential oils. I had never used it before, but now I’m using it 2-3 times a week, and I love it.

I recently started working on a non-toxic air freshener, at customer request, and have come up with one, that smells really good, and seems to linger around for a while. : )

I also started making an Anti-Aging Serum with Hyaluronic Acid, for minimizing wrinkles. I don’t have a lot of wrinkles (except for under my eyes :-(, but when I use the serum before I put my own Goat Milk Lotion on, twice a day, I do see an improvement in those wrinkles. People do love the feel of my Goat Milk Lotion, on their hands.

I could go on and on ... I’m having so much fun coming up with new products. The next one I’m working on is a natural, floride-free, peppermint toothpaste. I have some airless pump bottles I want to put it in.

I get those email alerts as well and I don't want them either. I haven't have time to go in the settings to see if I can change that yet. I'll let you know if I find/change it.

 

[RollingAcres]

I did go there to check it out but i thought they were for alerts i get when I'm on BYH. I did previously unselected "receive email notifications of replies" but I'm still getting them.

Log out, then log back in.
Remove your email address from your profile and personal information at BYH and any of it's "sister" sites.

(Things would be a lot easier, if by default, all boxes in settings were unchecked when one initially registers on any website or joins any board)

 

[RollingAcres]

Will do. Thanks GB.

your booth looks so good and I think the idea of a product/order list is a great idea. after the farmers market you can sell at the health food store and take special orders and deliver them to a designated spot in town at the same time. or maybe have one day a week to have people come to your house. I don't think i'd want them to just show up at random. i'm so excited about how this is coming together for you.

@goatgurl is right. I would really like some sort of a product list. I trust @Baymule 's endorsement so am willing to try the lotion or cream for the knees and ankles. Lord knows I have tried so many different products. Had a little relief from one but only lasted an hour or so. And although not terribly unpleasant, the smell was strong and not something I wanted to really smell all day long.
So, I would like to see what else you have. Really, a printed sheet or two, a list of what's available and for what purpose it can be used, with prices and ordering space. Think of what you tell customers about each of your products. Then think that if you were unable to go to farmers market, and say your husband had to go, this would be a sheet that he could refer to to answer questions and be able to give informed answers. Not saying he isn't already well versed, but it is your knowledge that has created them, and your expertise and use that will sell them.

I have spent $100's on so many different things, that another 20 or 50 with shipping is not a big deal. If it helps at all, it is priceless.
