Hard to believe it is June and that we have been caretaking here in MA for the past eight months! Last night kicked off the first of the 2010 Summer Concert Series at the Lakehouse in Evergreen, Colorado and we both let out a bit of a sigh for having missed it…hoping to get out for a visit and a concert or two very soon.
Meeting Mary Jane Butters at MGO's first out of state Farm Fair. We love Mary Jane's Farm!
While realtor Sue Caicedo continues to field questions from potential MGO buyers, I am putting the finishing touches on my MGO Scrapbook. I keep thinking that I am done, then I discover something else in the form of a momento or memory that just needs to be added.
To get an idea of what this project has turned into, take the page you see above and multiply it by several dozen. I am only giving you a teaser with the idea that I will have an online scrapbook for you to browse one of these days : )
This book includes several CO Events (Kittredge Canyon Fest, Gloamin’ Fest, Conifer Mountain Music Fest, Evergreen Big Chili Cook Off, various Boettcher Mansion Shows, etc.) as well as displays in local shops (Mountain Man Fruit & Nut Co, Evergreen Crafters, Luna’s Mandala, Le Boudoir, etc.).
And then there’s the random stuff, like the evolution of the labels and various community projects/fundraisers we were involved in.
If you have anything you would like to contribute, please let me know (don’t want to leave out anything important!). I really do intend to wrap this up SOON and have something special to pass along to the next proud owner of Mountain Girl Organics.
To find out more about the sale of Mountain Girl Organics, please see the flyer below (click on it to enlarge)…
Thank you for reading, and for being a big part of this little company. I look forward to hearing from anyone that has a Mountain Girl Memory to contribute. XOX,
Valynne and Paul
Hi Valynne!
)
I have many MGO memories… my first that comes to mind is my visits to your MGO booth/tent at the Farmer’s Market in Bergen Park in Evergreen, CO (and the fact that I always seemed to be wearing “heart necklaces” whenever I saw you… and remember what you said? Hope it gives you a good laugh to remember!) Made me chuckle. AND… we certainly missed your amazing contribution to our Valentine “baskets” at the Dakota Blonde/ Swallow Hill Valentine show this past year. (I miss the yummy bath fizzies too! Love ‘em!) Wishing you well & missing you every day! Love you! -Mary
I am pretty sure the “heart” comment broke the ice with us as I don’t think we knew each other that well before. The fact that you didn’t ignore me next time we bumped into each other was a good sign! That was a doozy, even for me!
Thought of you on Valentine’s Day, my heart loving friend. The fact that we got to witness your maiden Dakota Blonde voyage in NY helped to make up for missing your annual Swallow Hill gig : ) Love you bunches…
I miss MGO. I’m now officially down to my last container of body whip. We all miss you here in the mountains.
What a beautiful scrapbook that is turning out to be! I can’t wait to see the finished book. We are all missing you at the markets this year… people are flustered and don’t know what to do without your lovely bath & body products! We are a town in turmoil : (
I need to get some before you sell!!!!!!
I remember the wonderful aroma of walking into your home or getting into your car. There were always hints of MGO products in the air. Sooooo soothing! Great memories…
Miss you and your sweet smells! ~Sadie
I remember going to your grand opening and taking some photos for you. Now someone else needs to get going and have a grand re-opening.
