Click on this picture to enlarge so you can read or print my story.   It's a true story from my own childhood and I really did pay 5-cents for a halo from my friend Joanne Edgeman.  You might think what a silly child to fall for that old gimmick but that little nickel investment was turned into $75 when it was accepted to be printed in a 1996 issue of Mary Englebreit's magazine "Leading the Artful Life" .... so Joanne, who's laughing now?

Home Based Business Fair

Last weekend my husband helped me immensely with a small booth at our local Home Based Business Fair.  It was a good way to get my bath salts noticed in our home town and we did pretty well considering that it was a very small show and not well advertised.

I think that may be the route to take my bath salts in the coming year... to bigger and better shows and we are on the waiting list for the big Christmas Fair in Roseburg... pray for all to go well with that.  We would have a bigger booth and I can also bring in my home made Christmas stockings too... since my 2-oz packages make the perfect stocking stuffer gift.

I bathed in a few of my other favorite name-brand bath salts a few evenings this past week and last night went back to my own Essential Bliss brand and I truely have to say that my bath salts are the best out there!  They really are!!
