We're Back From Summer Vacation!

Caity riding the carousel on Paignton Green

After almost a whole month in the United Kingdom visiting with family I am back in sunny New Hampshire and ready to begin making delicious lollipops and sweeties once more!!

The visit back home was wonderful, I took my lil Caity bear with me to meet all my family for the very first time as I haven't been home in over 12 years and everyone fell in love with her right away - but then I never expected anything different!

We had 2 full sight seeing days in London which was hectic but fun, then spent some time at my mothers in the Lake District, followed by some time in Manchester visiting my sisters and their children, then a week in Devon visiting with my brother, dad and step mom and then finally a few days back in Manchester to see my sister and grandad and back home to NH.


This is Caity with her great grandad Ron.

My mothers husband Bernie was a gem, teaching Caity how to ride a bike without stabilizers - this makes two new firsts for her this summer as she also learnt to swim the month before thanks to some fabulous lessons at the local sports center! I was so proud of her, she practised until she could get it right, refusing to put the bike down despite having blisters on her hands from gripping the handlebars AND 19 bruises and scrapes on her legs!!

Been back a few days, still adjusting to the 5 hour time difference and getting back on track with orders - lots of new flavors and shapes coming this fall so keep watching, and of course lots of new giveaways!!

Valentines Day Giveaway!!

It’s time for my first ever blog giveaway, in honor of the cold winter weather here in NH. Entry is easy, just visit my Ducky Soap and/or Sweet Lollipop Shop Etsy shops via the links below and then come back here and post telling me which item or items from either shop you like the best.

OOoooohhhh It's The Little Black Box Time!!

It's that day again!!

Time for The Little Black Box and this month I'll actually not just be buying one for myself and the girls but I'll actually be in it!!

I'm so totally excited to have my ducky soaps and lollipops in the box and see how people like them, I hope they're enjoyed as much as I enjoy creating them. And then the added bonus of getting my own box, like wow there are some amazing stores in there this month and a guarantee of at least 17 items ... it's like getting a Christmas gift without it being Christmas! I really hope I get one of the hypnosis samples, having an interest in the subject I'd be really interested in trying one of those out.

In other news this weekend is going to be insane, I have my biggest set of orders since the summer, a possible 600+ lollipops in one weekend, plus about 2lbs of jewel candy. When you consider my average weekend is 150-250 lollipops, this is going to be a lot of work that is most definately going to spill over to Monday but thankfully I have my wonderful daughter to help me out and she'll earn lots of extra spending money this week which I have a feeling will go towards her new ipod and maybe even a new oufit!

Not wanting to sound ungrateful at all, but I'm really praying for a quiet weekend the following weekend as it's our annual Halloween party on Saturday and the thought of sleeping in VERY late on Sunday is just soooo appealing!!!

New Lollipops!!

After an insanely busy summer, the kids are back at school and I'm back to working hard and getting new lollipops up and online.

I really love this one, not that I didn't like the original unicorn, but this one is so huge and is of the entire unicorn instead of just the head. I've always loved unicorns, the mystical and magical stories that include them have always been intriguing to me.

Inventory now shows I have over 300 different mold shapes in stock and I just placed orders for about 50 more new ones, especially for Halloween and Christmas, so I'm definately on target for getting 300 plus in the etsy store - http://sweetlollipopshop.etsy.com - by Christmas time.
