 The Things We Make

Find on this page information about the artisans on this site, a brief biography and photos.

  • Homemade Soap
    Artisan:  Louise Hawkins
    Made with only high-quality ingredients, some with fragrance, some without, some all-natural, vegan, non-vegan, for many purposes.  You'll never want commercially-made beauty bars again!
     

  • Lotion Bars
    Artisan:  Louise Hawkins
    Lotion without a bottle!  Because it is made without added water or alcohol, the lotion is in a solid form similar to a deodorant bar.  It glides on the skin.  A great selection, some with fragrance, some without, some all-natural.

High-Quality, Homemade Soap :: All-Natural Selection

 

 

Homemade Soap :: Many Fragrances

 

There are no preservatives, hardeners or detergents in Louise's high-quality, Homemade Soap.  Once you use these, you will never want to use commercially-prepared bars again!

 

 


 

Hand-painted Pottery :: Soap Sofa

 

Be sure to keep the soap in a dish that drains to prevent it from liquefying.  One of Susan's handmade, hand-painted Soap Sofas will keep your bars high and dry.

 

 


 

Gift Idea using Homemade Soap, Lotion Bar & Mini-Dish

Gift Idea :: Lotion Bar, Homemade Soap, Mini-Dish

 

Shown:  A lotion bar, hand-painted mini-dish (Seahorse design) and an all-natural, vegan Lavender-Rosemary soap.  Add your own scrubby and miniature wash tub for a lovely, useful and memorable gift.

 

 


 

Lotion Bars :: All-Natural or Fragrances

 

They don't dry out.  Set a lotion bar on one of Susan's hand-painted Mini-Dishes and leave it by the kitchen sink, on a nightstand, desk, or anywhere you want to have lotion handy.  They are for hands, arms, elbows, feet, legs, knees, body, neck - anywhere you need lotion.

 

 


 

Hand-painted Pottery :: Mini-Dish, "Elephant"

 

Hand-painted Pottery :: Mini-Dish, "Hydrangeas"

 

Susan's Hand-painted Pottery is made in Ohio with Ohio clay!  She started making these mini-dishes for Louise's lotion bars but they have so many uses.  They are food-, dishwasher-, and safe to use in a conventional oven.  Use as tea bag caddies or spoon rests; put one at each table setting for butter, salt or seasonings.

 

 


 

Lotion Bar Tubes :: More Than 80 Fragrances

 

Don't leave home without them!  Get one for each pocket, purse, backpack or travel case.  More than 80 fragrances from which to choose, see Lotion Bars
