Angela inspires creativity in all that she does. With her genuine respect for nature and all things healthy i admire... her works. From her yummy recepies when im tired of my boring habit go to meals, to her repurposing all things from the earth, she never ceases to amaze! I recently purchased a few bars of the most lovely soaps as well as a copper ring. I love it! Its simple and sleak design with just enough scruff to be a wearable everyday ring thats sure to be memorable. it also serves a purpose- helps with my joints when overworked or when it's going to rain. Stop by the Lillooets farmers market!!! good products, good vibes & awesome stories of Ponderosa Country Life💓💓💓read more
