COPYRIGHT: 2009 Calico Petals

I can't remember a time when I didn't make things. Not only has it been my
livelihood for most of my life, but also a sweet opportunity to carry out my passion
for creating.
I have always been inspired by days gone by ideas, and I'm particularly fond of
1920's era and styles. Most of my designs are from that period in time.
I'm also the proprietress of a small soap milling company called Bittersweet. For over
ten years I have mixed, poured, cut and sold thousands of bars of my hand milled
soaps. They have been featured on Home and Garden Television and included in the
goody bags at such events as the Emmy's and American Music Awards.
You can visit my other soul sister boutique Bittersweet and discover more of my
hand made creations here.
I had a brick and mortar shop for over five years where I sold over one-hundred of
my hand made items.
After five years of managing and operating my retail store, I decided to focus my
attention towards my passion, creating. Although retail life was very rewarding, I had
little time to create new things.
My hand made creations are unique and special and are found exclusively at Calico
Petals, and my sister site Bittersweet, as well as selected shops and boutiques. I prefer
a soulful personal approach to marketing, and discourage my products being mass
produced.
I'm honored you stopped by to browse my little shop.
Thank you for taking time to visit. I hope you enjoy.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
Merci, Jill
