BY THE BAY SOAP COMPANY




This is my front parlor where I keep a display of my soap, lip balm, salve, salts, dream pillows and sachets.
We do a lot of soap "shows" juried and unjuried during the summer and boy are we looking forward to it this year!!

Mr. McGregor's Garden Shed










After visiting the botanical gardens in Green Bay a couple of years ago and after taking many pictures of the children's garden and Mr. McGregor's Shed...my husband and I built our own little garden shed with three raised beds where I grow herbs; chamomile, rosemary, woolly thyme, to name a few and wildflowers. I use many of the herbs in our handcrafted soap! We also have a Wisteria Arbor and after 3-years she is finally producing big purple flowers!
