On the 5th March (last Saturday) we enjoyed a fabulous first day with our new stall at the Bury St Edmunds market. We had a great time and met lots of lovely people – some old friends but many more new friends. It was a lovely day. OK, it was also a very, very cold day but the rain at least held off until the last hour or so. Drizzle really, not ‘rain, rain’.
We were thrilled to receive an enquiry for quite a large order. And subsequently even more thrilled when the order was confirmed just yesterday!
Leaf House Botanics will become a familiar site at the market. We don’t know where our ‘permanent’ pitch will be yet and that could take a bit of time. Newbies just have to wait their turn to be offered a permanent slot. We took the camera, but frankly the day was so busy that we completely forgot all about using the camera! Hopefully we’ll get some pics this coming Saturday.
Leaf House Botanics has also been experimenting with some new soaps. Here is a pic of our new Baby Blue Polka Dot Baby Shower Favours… they come in a pack of 6 x mini soaps as shown. They will be available in limited quantities at the next market – Saturday 12th March. But the good news is that you can order more, and in different colours too. Perhaps you might prefer pink (we’ll try to have some of those there too)… or yellow… or whatever colour you prefer. The Blue Baby Polka Dots are delicately fragranced with Baby Powder. Here’s a pic of them…..

Here’s a link to our website so you can take another peek at them – and even place an order for them! http://www.leafhouse.co.uk/pages/shop/proddetail.php?prod=PolkaDotBabyShowerFavours
Do you have any thoughts on fragrance for some pretty little Pink Polka Dot Favours? Strawberry perhaps? Soft and gentle Heather? Do tell us your ideas when you have a moment or two please. Oh and see you at the market on Saturday 12th March. Vxx
I think rose would make a lovely soft fragrance for the pink set, or possibly parma violets? Something floral in any case.
Really pretty, I love these
Oh thank you so much Lynne and yes, what fab ideas for the fragrance. I must admit I hadn’t remotely thought of Parma Violets although Rose is an absolute favourite of mine. Vxx
So glad the market trip went well, congratulations!
If you could bottle the smell known as “top of new baby’s head” for the soaps, you’d literally clean up
Maybe something soothing and gentle for the new mum to be, like camomile and a hint of geranium?
Well Kate that really sounds like a good idea re: ‘top of new baby’s head’ for the soaps… but erm, not too sure where to find that bottle right now! Camomile would be a lovely idea for the little Yellow Polka Dot Baby Shower Favours methinks. And Geranium is a nice option for the Pink ones. I’m right in the middle of making a batch of the Pink Polka Dots and have chosen a really gorgeous English Rose fragrance. It is quite spicy rather than sickly sweet. *goes away to make note about Camomile for Yellow Polka Dots *
