✨ Welcome to Meet the Maker Mondays at La Belle FDL! ✨Behind every unique item on our shelves is a story of passion, creativity, and hard work. We are incredibly proud that our boutique curates products from an amazing lineup of women-owned businesses! 👩🎨💼 Today's feature Mary Nell, owner of Foot of the Lake Designs.
"I am a retired teacher of 37 years. I watched my grandmother make soap years ago and never forgot, so in retirement I started researching and creating recipes and beautiful bars of soap. Soap expanded to bath and body products and then to some really fun kid bath products.
I believe your skin deserves the very best. My handcrafted bath and body products are made with carefully selected, high-quality ingredients that nourish, hydrate, and pamper your skin naturally. From rich grass-fed tallow lotions to soothing bath treats and refreshing body products, every item is created in small batches with a focus on purity, effectiveness, and gentle care. I avoid harsh ingredients and prioritize skin-loving oils and butters that help leave your skin feeling soft, healthy, and beautifully refreshed. You can treat yourself to products that not only smell amazing but are made with ingredients you can feel good about using every day.
This is an awesome hobby that helps me stay busy. I'm always looking for new ideas and love creating a recipe for some new idea.
I also love traveling with my husband and family which includes 3 adult children and their spouses as well as 9 grandchildren."
Make sure to stop by our booth weekly at the Farmer's Market to pick up Mary's wonderful, handcrafted creations! From unique gifts to local treasures, there is always something new and beautiful waiting for you each week. ✨🛍️
