Love, Byrd. Soap

Bath & Body/Apothecary

Farm life shaped my philosophy of a healthy lifestyle & natural choices. Tired of skin products reacting on my skin, I began researching authentic soaping. When fats & lye combine in a proper ratio, saponification occurs, producing glycerin which moisturizes, protects & heals skin. Skin conditions have rose as companies sell the glycerin & replace it with chemicals.
Marrying unique designs & custom scents I create beautiful soaps that restore your skin's health & transform an everyday routine into a luxurious escape. Love, Byrd. is a salutation of a letter from my Dad to my Mom; it honors my parents, their example & unconditional love. Artisan Soaps. Handcrafted with Love in small batches. All natural, soy free, no preservatives. Scented with essential oils, colored with natural clays.

Upcycle Woodworks

Woodwork

Hi, I'm Chris Evans, the founder of Upcycle Woodworks, a small woodworking venture that took root in early 2023. With almost two decades dedicated to traveling sales, I made the decision to prioritize quality time with my family and pursue my lifelong passion for woodworking. I was known as the wood shop geek in high school and further developed my skills during a summer mentorship with a cabinetmaker, eventually transitioning to selling mass-produced cabinetry after college. Now, I'm so grateful to be home every night with my two children and supportive wife, plus our pooch Rosie. What's even more fulfilling is the opportunity to handcraft unique wood creations that bring joy to others!
