Just driving around …

Have you ever had one of those days and when you decide that this is the day that you’re going to get a ton of errands done? Well that was my day today. 

So I packed what I needed for those errands and headed out early in the morning. First stop was a flower shop in Calmar. This shop is selling my soap and I stopped in to see how it was going. I was really unsure if anyone would want to buy them and my nervousness didn’t last long. She wanted to buy everything that I had along for the day because the first soap that she had gotten was sold right away! SHAZAM!! Well I had picked out a couple of the soaps for my next stop and left the rest. I’m pretty sure that I a big dumb grin on my face as I  started driving North. Yup, I’m sure. 

The next stop was another shop that was selling my soap and this one is in Cresco. Now this is a really cool shop because they offer a lot of local artists to sell their stuff. And how is my sales going there? Well not as good as I had hoped, but maybe it’ll pick up you just never know. 

With the car all charged up, I went north to Harmony Minnesota to another lady who was interested in selling my soap in a large unique store. But she wasn’t there today in the shop, so I just dropped off a sample bag of soap for her to try and I’ll try to touch base with her later this week. And of course I had to do a little shopping while I was there 🙂

And it wasn’t too late in the day so I headed back to Cresco and then went west. West you might ask? Now normally I should go south, but there was a sale going on in a local candle shop that I thought I should check out. This candle shop outlet is in Osage and I knew that time was ticking away. So when I was literally at the crossroads, and one way was to head home and one way was to head to Osage, I chose Osage. With only 12 minutes to shop in this store, it was still awesome! When you are in an outlet store it’s only a good thing and then they were offering By One Get One free – I felt that I found a treasure. 

Now to head to Charles City, New Hampton, and finally back home to get to church. Then it was time to head out for the night. And since I hadn’t gone south of our farm yet today – well we went south to Waterloo for a hockey game. Some guy handed us free front row tickets 20160409_191229_resizedand Daryl even caught one of the t-shirts that they threw out. 20160409_213016_resized

Yup, it was a busy but really fun day! And there is still tomorrow yet in the weekend!!
