Since 2001, I've been crafting amazingly scented, moisturizing, cleansing and just fabulous products for you in my Fort Worth area studio. That's right, nearly 25 years of fragrance!
NEW NEW NEW!
New formula for All Over Lotion! So nice & thick that I'm back to using jars so that you can get every last moisturizing bit. Available in all of the normal fragrances (Plumeria, Neroli, Lavender and more), but now also available in Gardenia & Butter Cookies! Yep, always looking at new ways to give you something cool (and very kind to skin, too!)
Botanical and Forest: now in sachet form, too! So you can take freshness with you!
Interested in knowing what's new before anyone else? Well, sign up for my newsletter. A new edition will arrive in your inbox every few months, giving you the scoop on new things. Limited editions. And any discount code or deal will go to newsletter readers first.
My goal is always your happiness. Thank YOU!

Back to the jars for the new All Over Lotion! Shown in Raindrops (formerly called Spring Rain), Flower Shop (an indulgent floral medley) and oh so sweet Wildflower Honey. Plus more than 15 others...you're going to have a hard time picking a favorite, so maybe get a few?
Botanical is my new fresh herbal fragrance. This blend includes sage, peppercorn, coriander, chamomile, patchouli plus fresh balsam and moss notes. Fresh, yep. Herbal? Of course. But light and relaxing? Yeah, a lot of herbals aren't...but this one surely is. Available right now in home fragrance (wax melts & candles) plus...as shown, sachets!
Another in house blend, Floralia has been offered in solid form for a few months, so about time to bring out the roller ball version! Plumeria, White Jasmine & Golden Amber combine to produce a lovely romantic floral fragrance. AND, Orange Patchouli is back, too!
And finally...my shave soap has a lot of fans. And this year, I upped the scent list to include some new ones. Like Blackberry! Super bubbly formula, it produces dense lather that helps your razor glide.
All of these, and so many more, are proudly handcrafted in my Fort Worth area studio. I'm always bringing out something new and I hope you find a few new ones here to tempt you.
A little bit more about, well, everything!
Small Batch, Proudly made in Texas since 2001!
Being a small indie business is important to me. I had a chance...about 20 years ago, to sell my products to a major HUGE business (you've heard of it...just about in every part of the US and international, too) but I went 'nope'. The reason was simple. Huge companies care about one thing only...profit. THEIR profit. Okay, I get it. Makes sense, after all. But they squeeze the little makers (like me) until the joy is gone. That's not who I am. And that's not what I do (or EVER want to do). I make because I (truly) love making. I offer the best products I can, crafted from the best ingredients that I can source. My rule? If it isn't good enough for my family, it is not good enough for yours. EVER.
So I said no to the BIG GUY and I haven't regretted it a day since.
Being a creative has its challenges...
Creating is my main addiction (okay, dark chocolate falls in the zone, too but...) I like trying out new products and new things. While scented products is mostly what I do, I also make other things. Furniture. Stained Glass. Jewelry. Some of this may (maybe someday) be listed online. But because I keep my eyes, mind & heart open to new opportunities, from time to time you'll see new things here.
Can't find an old favorite? From time to time, I do make hard calls to discontinue items or scents. But likely not forever. Your feedback is always super important, so please let me know.
And if you are a vintage lover, like I am...I'm back to sourcing vintage items for my OTHER Etsy shop: HomeNESTStudio. I used to sell vintage when my storefront was open, but when it closed circa 2008...well, I just couldn't keep adding inventory. Anything that isn't on Etsy? Well, I do find a few things that aren't vintage (but still super cool) so head on over to my eBay shop: HeritageTXFinds for those!
Coming soon...and news!
New scents! That's right. This is the time of year that I go through the inventory and go 'hmmm' I think I need some new choices.
And given that fall IS right around the corner...I'm musing on some of those lovely spicy warm scents. Not easy when Texas brings triple digits and just standing can make you melt, but...it does take time to find exactly the right scents for you.
As previously mentioned, one of my favorite suppliers is now out of business, after more than 20 years. I did stock up on a few when I last could, but a lot of scents...are perhaps gone forever. That's Basil Sage Mint, Rosemary Mint and a few others.
Of course, I'm looking for replacements, but...if you don't see them listed, maybe message me to see if I have enough for one last make for you. I won't list items that are super low in stock for just that reason.
Don't forget to sign up for my newsletter! No frequent spam (promise, I hate that, too!) but if I have a discount code...sending that to my newsletter subscribers only. New products? They know first. Special deals or gift sets? Ditto. Of course, you can opt out any time you like!
