Barcelona Bath & Body
Barcelona Bath & Body

The highlight of Barcelona Bath & Body Founder Rachel Lane’s 17-year sales and marketing career was director of marketing for an award-winning spa line of candles and bath products. After leaving the spa industry, she caught a late-night rerun of an Oprah show about “mompreneurs” in June of 2002, and a dream was born to again work her passion for home fragrance and personal care products by starting her own business.

She spent the next couple years in her “kitchen-turned-laboratory” developing healthy top-quality soy candles, rich moisturizing soaps, embellished sachets and long-lasting room sprays in five balanced fragrances--Vanilla Lavender, Cinnamon Sandalwood, Grapefruit Ylang Ylang, Coconut Bay Rum and Lemongrass Fennel. Available to retail customers through www.barcelonabathandbody.com, Rachel also sells wholesale to fine boutiques and spas around the world..

Third Floor Fibers

My name is Katie and I started Third Floor Fibers in my little third floor apartment as a way to actually do something productive with my handspun creations. I do all kinds of crafts; knitting, crochet, embroidery, sewing, and jewelry making but I have a passion for fiber arts. My artwork can also be found in Art-o-mat vending machines throughout the country. I spend my days teaching art to elementary school children but my nights (and summers!) making my crafts.

Emily Kircher Recycling Artist
Emily Kircher Recycling Artist

Gimme that garbage! There are so many unwanted items out there that still have tons of potential. I save them from the garbage and transform them into new and functional items. Right now, I cut fabric salvaged from old clothes and linens and crochet it into purses and rugs, cut old plates and cups into tiles to mosaic found objects, use bottlecaps and books to make resin-filled magnets and pins, and thrift store yarn to crochet pouches and pet toys. However, I'm always looking for inspiration to use new types of garbage to make new things
