Welcome to our soap parlor...

...would you like some coffee?

​My name is Theresa. Among life's happenings where we live in the country town of Lapeer, Michigan, I am a keeper at home and happy mama of three. I make bar soap, sew historical clothing, bowhunt whitetail deer, and am very much at home in the kitchen. We love camping, going for walks, and enjoying the great outdoors!

I once was lost, but now am found, was blind, but now I see.

All credit must go to my Savior, Jesus Christ, as I owe Him my life. He saved me out of the
pit of sin & death, and I am redeemed through His shed blood on the
Cross of Calvary and now seek to honor God with my life.

 Galatians 2:20 I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.

Hobbies? oh yes. One of my favorite things to do is to curl up with a good book in front of a fire, usually a cookbook of some sort, and dream of all the delicious foods I can make. I love sharing a meal with friends and having good fellowship around the dining room table, whether it's over coffee or playing board games together.

Blest be that spot where cheerful guests retire
To pause from toil, and trim their evening fire;
Blest be that abode, where want and pain repair,
And every stranger finds a ready chair:
Blest be those feasts with simple plenty crown'd,
Where all the ruddy family around
Laugh at the jest pity or pranks, that never fail,
Or sigh with pity at some mournful tale,
Or press the bashful stranger to his food,
And learn the luxury of doing good.

~ Oliver Goldsmith
