Our house is very busy right now, getting ready for Homemade Harvest this Saturday.  Today I'd like to introduce you to a new artist: Natalya from Northwest Suds who will be joining us.

This is a brand new enterprise for Natalya, so we are so excited she chose our venue to try out her entrepreneur skills.

I hope you can come out and support her new business and smell for yourself how wonderful these soaps are in person! Be sure to visit our FB page for more information.

Tell us a bit about yourself? Apart from being ‘creative’ what do you do?
I am a wife and a mother of 2 grown-up daughters. I am also a bioengineer, working in medical device industry. My responsibility is assuring that the medial devices are clean, sterile and non-toxic when they reach patients. So my work is all about cleaning – and so is my hobby.

What inspires you to do the kind of work you do?
My family and friends who like to use my soaps and see the benefits. Someone told me that few months after he started using my soap, his dermatologist noticed positive changes in his skin and asked what he is using. This was the best compliment and inspiration ever.

Do you look up to anyone? Who? Why?
To Mother Nature. In nature everything is interconnected and has purpose. Things are practical, yet beautiful. Biochemical and genetic processes are very complex, but on the grand scheme of things the life is very simple. Humans tend to complicate things for no reason. By creating simple, practical and attractive soaps I bring my own world back to basics, where things are simple and one can enjoy simple pleasures. Just like nature intended.

What other passions do you have in your life?
Science and simplicity. These seem mutually exclusive, but they are not. I want to know how things work, why they work certain way and understand cause-effect relationship between events. But, armed with this knowledge, I want to live simply, and enjoy simple pleasures in life.

How do you promote your work?
I do not really promote it. It is mostly word of mouth.

In the future I’d like to be…
Myself. I would like to gain wisdom, tolerance and understanding, and want to help others to do the same.
