I'm Lissa. I live in rural western pennsylvania, about 30 miles north of Pittsburgh, with my husband and his oldest daughter (who is now 18...how the heck did that happen???)

My husband and i are both transplants to this area, he from Seattle, and Me from Michigan.

My first experimental batches of soap were made in the summer of 1982. The instructions were sketchy, the ingredients were less than ideal, and the resulting soap wasn't very impressive. I was so infatuated with the idea of handmade soap, however, that I plunged forward. Over the years I continued to experiment, and as better quality ingredients became more readily available i was able to formulate a recipe with which i was truly happy.

I spent many years selling my soap at craft fairs, and eventually, online. Now, after a break of several years (sometimes life has a mind of its own) I've been hearing the soap call my name again, lol. The soap faeries have been planting seeds, and soap is once again growing in the garden.

Fantasia's Garden Botanicals is a family owned and operated business. I've been the driving force since the beginning, but am now receiving help from my teenage stepdaughter. She is a valuable resource. :-)
