We're Baaaaaack...Holiday Boutique 2015 Coming Soon

You've got to love a good goat joke. We're baaaaack... Get it? No, I'm not planning on launching a comedy tour anytime soon. You're secretly glad, I know!

Ladies, grab your calendars and hold November 12, 13, and 14, 2015. These are the dates for the 2015 United Way of Rogers and Mayes Counties Holiday Boutique. You won't want to miss this opportunity to SHOP UNITED!

Back by popular demand is vendor Grayslland Acres with popular goat milk soaps, lotions, dog shampoo, beeswax-based lip balms and lotion bars, as well as really cool recycled feed sack tote bags, backpacks and satchels.

Last year's booth was extremely popular. Yours truly tried a friend's lotion bar and when I went to buy one - it was really lovely stuff - they'd completely sold out. Insert sad face...

I settled for a jar of goat milk lotion. I wasn't disappointed. It soaked right into my skin, wasn't greasy or tacky like some lotions can be, and kept my poor crackly dry hands smooth as a baby's bottom last winter.

They also sell these generous bars of goat milk soap - with or without exfoliation. If your skin is like mine and needs a little tender loving care in the wintertime, Grayslland Acres booth is definitely a stop you'll want to make on your tour of the 2015 Holiday Boutique. So many of their items would make a good stocking stuffer or gift for a beloved teacher.

I must admit that I was skeptical about the recycled feed sack bags...but then I saw them. These are so darling! Just imagine carrying bottled water and trail mix in them for a morning hike or tickets, paperwork and a great novel for an impromptu trip home for Thanksgiving. Whatever you use it for, it will most certainly be a conversation piece, and so tremendously environmentally conscious!

Yes, indeed, the Grayslland Acres booth is a treasure trove of skin-friendly, earth-loving goodies. Best of all, you're supporting a local business. Grayslland Acres is a working farm located northeast of Pryor, Oklahoma and is home to four llamas, 13 Nubian goats, four dogs, 10 chickens, two cats, a canary, an African gray parrot, and two humans - Steve and Myra Grayson.

I know it's just September 4th, but those amazing holidays are just around the corner!

Here's a reality check: there are just 111 days until Christmas. Before you know it, we'll be downing pumpkin spice lattes and eating turkey.
