Today's event at Choctaw Lake was fun! And finally, there were two food trucks I could enjoy; coffee and vegan lunch.

I'm learning that I have a lot to learn about gourds! Did you know it/mine/the sugar bowl (maybe others as well) flowers at night?? I thought I saw flowers, but then the next morning I didn't. I blamed my vision, the lighting, my imagination, etc... because there are fewer evening pollinators, I brought my paintbrush outside just now.

Saturday, July 25th from 10-4pm, I'll be selling my vegan lotion and soap, plus a variety of Mandala designs, at Choctaw Lake. 2875 Oneida Dr, London, OH 43140

Here they come ! My Peru sugar bowl gourds are producing. These will become bird houses and/or bowls to sell at my markets. I expect them to become quite large, so I'm surprised they are growing upward.

July 11th, 11-4pm is the Luxe Market hosted by Events at the Gallery. Come visit and sample my vegan lotion. 12 W First St, Dayton, OH 45422, USA

July 11th, 11am-4pm, Dayton, Ohio. I will be selling vegan lotion and soap with an option for a mix or match gift bag, and mandala designs ranging from 1.5" magnets to 6" display /wall hanging. The venue is a climate-controlled gallery worthy of a visit in itself.

I'm excited to be a chosen vendor for the Luxe Market on July 11th, in Dayton. 12 W First St, Dayton, OH 45402. I'll be selling vegan solid lotion, gift bundles with lotion, soap, and sisal bag, and of course mandala designs. See you in a couple weeks!

If you are in Columbus, Ohio, my lotion bars can be found in the Golden Hobby Gift Shop. This is a consignment shop run by Columbus Park and Rec, for creators over 50 years old.

I'm super excited to reveal what I've been working on! Big thanks to my friends who provided valuable input during the process and have been testing my recipes for months.

My gift bags include one vegan lotion bar or dots, one vegan soap bar, and one sisal bag soap saver.

Sisal is made from the agave plant, and the sisal bag creates a way to use every last speck of your soap bar while providing a mild exfoliating effect. No more throwing away the final scrap of soap.
