NEW YEAR, NEW LOOK!

Happy New Year from The Thankful Goat:) We here at "The Goat" are very excited at what the New Year holds. First of all we will be updating our labels. We loved the idea of the hang tags, but they are very hard to deal with and easily get bent. We want the best looking product we can sell to you. Also, we had a great Christmas! The word got out about our products and now we will be selling in several stores. You can always call in your order or email me or message me on Facebook, but now The Arts Council in Lenoir will be keeping my products full time, as well as Black Bear Books in Boone and Ole Mexico Pottery in downtown Hickory. I will be pulling the merchandise at these places for a short time to retag them, but we should be back up and running in a couple of weeks. We have been given a wonderful opportunity to share soapmaking with some very special little people too. Hudson Elem. School will have me out one day after the babies are born to share with the WHOLE fourth grade! How cool will that be? I will discuss the history of soapmaking, and show them how soap is made. By that time we should have baby goats and they want me to bring them out so the kids can see them. Speaking of the babies, we are very close to Buttercup's kidding. We can't tell if she has one or two, but we are certain we are just days away from knowing. This weather is really bearing down on us. The goats have been heading in to our garage at night. We give them hay and water and they stay in their travel cages to sleep. We have been chopping fresh vegetables for them and they are loving life. The garage stays about 45 degrees, so the girls are excited about their cozy warm 'hotel'. Have a wonderfully blessed New Year and don't forget to give goat love a chance man!

Christmas is almost here and so are the babies!

With only 15 shopping days left til Christmas, I have been absolutely humbled by the response of people to our "Thankful Products". I told Steve it's one thing for your friends and family to believe in you and buy your products, but when given the choice to pick from anything in a store from many different artists and crafters and they choose you that's just WOW! I am really grateful:) From now until Christmas Eve All of my products will be at the Caldwell Arts Council. Last Friday was the event opening and there was a packed house. Everything creative you could imagine was packed into the gallery and so much talent. It really put you in a festive kind of mood. And the people we met we so wonderful. If you are local to the area you should try to get buy for some one of a kind presents. Tuesday, December 15th 4 to 8 pm I will be selling at the Hudson Elementary School Christmas Bazaar. You will be able to catch two brand new products: Sweet Almond Sugar Scrub and Oatmeal and Benonite Clay Facial Mask. The goats give it their hoof of approval. As always there will be lots of Goat Milk Soap with 6 new fragrances, along with massage oils, bath salts, and Goat Milk and Honey Lotion. I will also have a Build-A-Basket site where you can custom make baskets for Christmas and bead jewelry and felted lambs wool bags. On another note, we have been plesantly suprised by Buttercup who seems to be farther along in her pregnancy that we thought. We were looking for Valentine's Day babies, but it looks more like we will be ringing in the New Year with her kids. Preparations are underway and the birthing kit is being gathered. I feel like a grandma awaiting her first grandkids! Very nervous to help out with the birth for the first time and the boys are beside themselves. Well if I don't catch you here before Christmas...Have a Very Blessed Merry Christmas and Remember to give Goat Love a chance man!
Dawn, Athena, and Buttercup
