Bittersweets daybook depicts inspirational ideas and creative endeavors that are connected and centered around the goings on of a small cottage business entrepreneur. The past fifteen years have been spent manufacturing and creating artisan soaps and sundries under the name Bittersweet.
My creative inspiration came from three influential women in my life. The women possessed an array of unique individual skills and talents that influenced me early on. My mother, a published writer, my sweet grandmother, a restaurateur and my aunt Vivian, a soap maker.
People often ask me where the name Bittersweet came from. My beautiful soft spoken mother suggested the name. Soon after creating the name she passed away from leukemia. Little did I know then how years later the word would echo a soulful new meaning each time I said it.
Bittersweet Soap has been featured on Home & Garden television and included in the goody bags at both the Emmy’s and American Music awards.
Bittersweet has been blogging for six wonderful years.
