Oregon Coast Weather

Planning for weather on the Oregon Coast can be easier said than done. 
 
Cool, drizzly, windy mornings can leave me chilled to the bone if I get wet feet while setting up for the outdoor markets. I often travel with a waterproof pair of snow boots and gloves and a hat and a rain coat and... (half my wardrobe!) Snow boots because I haven't yet succumbed to rain boots and I enjoy the extra warmth.
 
Last week, we had a fun day of weather. Luckily, I was working in the shop, so other than for a photo, we stayed warm and dry inside. While eating breakfast, we had a passing hail storm.
 
 
Followed by bright sun that melted the ice.
 
 
Only to end the day with heavy, long lasting rain.
 
 
 
So, if you're visiting the Oregon Coast, come prepared because our weather is like a roller coaster!

Happy day,
Jill
Calise Soapworks & Such

Buy Local Lincoln County

Tomorrow, Wednesday, November 15, I will be on "Buy Local Radio" to talk about Calise Soapworks & SuchBuy Local Lincoln County is a nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting small businesses within our county. Here is an interesting quote from the Buy Local Lincoln County Website:

                 If everyone made a 10% shift in their discretionary spending
                 (groceries, dining out, clothes, entertainment and recreation)
                 to local retailers, over $10 million of additional income
                 would stay in our county. (This small shift in spending would
                 equate to a $44.57 per month local purchase per Lincoln County
                 household.)

Join us tomorrow at 8:30. Tune into 1230 AM KCUP Radio. If you are not local, you can listen online! http://www.kcup.net/ streams live online. Just scroll down the Home Page and the link is on the right hand side in red.

I'll be offering a special incentive to listeners, so tune in!

Happy day,
Jill
