Made By Hand. By ME.

I'm Stephanie, wife and mom of two kids living at home, stepmom to three grown children. I live in tropical Naples, Florida. I'm a retired clinical psychologist, but I've always been interested in crafting and needlework and love to crochet and sew. An herbalist friend of mine showed me how to make handmade soaps 9 years ago in return for a copy of a book I'd written about an image editor, and I was off and running with soapmaking. I love being an "alchemist" who makes soaps, creams, balms and other useful and helpful potions with my own two hands. I sell my B&B products on my domain site, Sea Sprite Soaps, as well as on Etsy and ArtFire.

I love especially the creamy richness of handmade soaps, and the fact that they don't strip my skin of oils. In fact, I was amazed the first time I washed my hands with my own soap and found that my skin wasn't tight or dry, and I didn't need to use hand lotion. Even my husband noticed how wonderful these soaps are on your skin, and now he shaves with my soap. My kids love it too. We haven't used commercial soap in almost 9 years now.

And if you love faeries and crochet, as I do, please check out my other Etsy shop, Faery Knots.

I also enjoy making 3D characters for a program called Poser. You can see and purchase my 3D characters at Daz3D.

I have a graphics site with free faery clipart in PSD format on FaeryMoon.
