HOW

It's hard to say when this little nugget actually had its inception, was it the last 14 years of gardening and seed saving? Maybe it was when I first got into working with essential oils and teaching myself to make body care products for my family. Either way, Vellum itself started as a very 'what if' conversation with one of my closest friends, and evolved into a 'I think I can do that, but now where do I start' conversation inside my own head over the course of many months.

I ruminated on product ideas for over a year when I finally decided to just start making them - some with countless hours of perfectionist over thinking, and some without. Given mostly as gifts (in order to gain a loyal group of human test subjects), the response was overwhelmingly positive, even on items in their first draft.

So here I am, thanks for joining me! I hope that through my product descriptions and blog posts you find something of value, even if it's just a giggle, or a perspective you had not previous considered. If it inspires you, or helps you find a product you love, let me know - I love to hear it!
