Jo NoelleAt Jo Noelle, nothing is truly lost — not the faded linens tucked in a hope chest, the broken necklaces at the bottom of a jewelry box, or the lace curtain yellowed by time. These are the pieces the world forgot, but I see them as beginnings. I started Jo Noelle with a deep love for all things storied, soulful, and handmade. What began as a jewelry line evolved into a full-blown love affair with vintage textiles and upcycled fashion. Every piece I make carries a whisper of the past and a bold vision for the future. Each creation is one-of-a-kind, just like the women who wear them.

Love NotesThe powerful beauty of horses was my initial catalyst, setting the course for my lifelong artistic pursuit. For 36 fulfilling years, I honed my eye for color and business acumen as a successful graphic designer and company owner. Yet, the dream of a fine art career never faded. I made the impactful transition, now dedicated to cultivating a distinct style and capturing the world's essence. Today, teaching art is a joy--sharing knowledge and encouraging students to embrace their inner artist is the ultimate realization of my own creative destiny.

La Bizarra HandmadeHi, I'm Jenny. I'm a quilter who will never get enough bright colors, curious textures, and whimsy. My quilts mix modern design with retro soul, inspired by pop art. I use techniques and fabrics steeped in history to create new objects that are made to last. Sometimes it's hard to tell if I use a sewing machine or a time machine! I started sewing as a creative escape when my kids were small, and now I can't imagine a day without fabric under my fingers. Whether I'm fussy cutting tiny prints or pairing neon with neutrals, my goal is simple: to make quilts that spark joy and connection.

Godwinks by MonaIn 2015, our two-year-old boxer puppy, Charlie, was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer. This was a burden for us financially, as it would be for most. I prayed, hard, asking God for help. Two friends that were sea glass collectors sent me a box of glass with a note telling me to do something with it and put the money towards Charlie's treatment, and so my Godwinks business started. Every picture is one of a kind, as are the natural tumbled pieces of glass. I love to find pieces and envision what they will become!

Sandy Cross SoapSandy Cross Soap creates natural soaps and personal care products with all plant-based ingredients. We do not use artificial fragrances or colorants in our products. Only the finest oils and butters are carefully selected for each item we make. We also chose not to use palm oils in our products. Instead, our products contain coconut, olive, castor, and sweet almond oils and shea butter, just to name a few. The commercial soap products are truly not soap but a detergent that strips your skin of all natural oils produced by your body. I love learning about all the natural ingredients that nature has to offer.

Nugget Oak NaturalsHey y'all! I've always had an immense love and respect for everything natural and handcrafted, and I find peace knowing that God provided us with everything we need to naturally heal and care for our bodies and homes. Growing up on a small family farm and embarking on my own homesteading adventures have allowed me to respect the land, plants, and animals all around us and to love and use the gifts they provide. I've spent over 20 years in prehospital medicine and have a degree in public health. This knowledge of modern medicine, coupled with my own infertility and my current studies in herbalism, has led me to see the flaws in some areas of modern healthcare, the toxic overload of today's skincare and household products, and the beauty of traditional healing. It is my hope that these products empower you on your journey towards holistic living, that they give you confidence to heal naturally, and that they bring you one small step closer to God's perfect design for health and wellness. Be well!

The Living SoaperieFrom 2015-2021, we were "The Soaperie," but we knew a change was needed when we started using rainwater in all our bar soaps. "The Living Soaperie" reflects the true scope of our story and what we're all about. Creating natural products and looking for new ways to be sustainable have always been central to our mission, but adding the term "living" doesn't just refer to our eco-friendly ingredients and processes. We originally started our company so our family could grow together in rich, meaningful ways. The Living Soaperie has allowed us the flexibility we need to raise our kids and pursue our dreams, and it's allowed us to create lasting, "living" relationships with our customers.
