Its been a great week for us here at Kayaro Soaps! Since the year began, we have been setting up our soap shop. After numerous rain delays, insurance policies dropped and re-instated, entry fees and various forms of red tape, we finally made our Hollywood debut! That's right folks, Kayaro Soap Operas hit the streets of LA, as we attended our first farmers market!
Melrose Place Farmer's Market is fast becoming a local favorite, in one of the hottest spots in Los Angeles. Nestled in-between Melrose Place, Melrose Avenue and La Cienega Boulevard, the farmer's market is held every Sunday from 10AM to 2PM.
I saw several early bird shoppers and morning walkers taking advantage of the freshly brewed coffee, juices, and amazing food on display!
We arrived early and set up our tent for the second time! Hila braved the early morning clouds last week, but was rained out by noon and had to retreat. We were prepared today, as we both set up early on a gloriously warm morning.
This particular location of
Raw Inspiration's farmers markets is on a single street, and is a bit smaller than some of their other spots. It is in a superb location, and what it lacks in size it makes up for in customers.
We saw a light but steady flow of shoppers for most of the day, many of them stoping by and asking who we were. When we said it was our first outing, they replied "We know, we are here every week and we have never seen you before!" We assured them they will be seeing more of us from now on, and we look forward to see you there too!
Our Harmony Fusion was a big hit, selling out quickly! We may need to reorder some more lavenders as well, seems folks still love that scent!
The Cinnamon Apple is a interesting blend, folks either like it alot or hated it! One shopper noted that she wasn't a big fan of fruit smells. She preferred flowers, I think she picked some Rose Flower soaps. Others seemed to go crazy over the Cinnamon Apple bars, another buyer stated "I want to eat them, they smell so good!"
In addition to our wonderful soaps, there are lots of great vendors at
Melrose Place Farmers' Market. Fresh brewed coffee, breads, vegetables, frutis, spices, chocolates, gluten free baked goods, and some of the best pupusas, tamales, and freschas around! Definitely a nice way to have a Sunday breakfast while walking! The way all the vendors were giving out samples, you almost didn't have to pay to either.
All in all, it was a great introduction for us to
Raw Inspirations and the Melrose Place Farmers' Markets. We will announce all additional farmers markets that we will attend asap!
Look for Kayaro Soap Operas at Melrose Place Farmers Market every Sunday, from 10PM-2PM!
