Dee is a native of Michigan, having grown up in Detroit, then an 11year detour to Los Angeles, then back to Michigan, only to the west side this time.  She has lived in Wyoming for over 25 years.  She is married and the proud mother of 5 (yes, count ‘em, 5) sons.

 

Dee started making soap in the winter of 2002 after buying some at a craft show.  She made if for herself and family until the inventory outpaced usage, so she headed out to the craft show scene.  Her line has expanded from just handmade soap, to include soy candles, lotions and creams, various balms, and other natural bath and body products.

 

Dee has displayed at various farmers markets and craft shows throughout West Michigan, including Fulton Street Farmers and Artisans Markets, Metro Health Farmers Market, and Byron Center Farmers Market.  She has also done many craft shows, most notably the Christmas Through Lowell for the past 10 years. 

 

Dee’s other hobbies include doing stained glass, knitting, and crocheting.
