Our story

Evelina Charpentier

-

My passion for crafting and creating started when I was very young.
I grew up in the very charming little town of San Secondo, near Parma, Italy (www.comune.san-secondo-parmense.pr.it/)
My parents owned a tobacco-toy-candy store right downtown my darling hometown.
Since I was always busy making things, it was wonderful to have a place to display and sell my creations from an early age.
In 1986 I had just graduated from college with a major in psychology, when I came to the United States on vacation with four girlfriends, and met my husband, in the streets of New Orleans.
After many adventures, we have been making our nest among the fields and hills and woods of Wisconsin.
As I decided to stay home with my children since the very beginning and home school them, I also took the time to pursue many different things and interests, involving my children in the fun of exploring and creating as I went along.
Through the years I have enjoyed painting, knitting, photography, sewing, quilting, making jewelry , baking and cooking many different kinds of food, hiking and studying natural remedies and healthy living; I have a diploma as a naturopath, and for the last 20 years I've been making natural soaps and bath products. What started as a fun experiment, turned into a much loved home business.
My husband Charlie and I now run the business together, hand in hand. 
We also opened a brick and mortar shop, where we have the opportunity to meet our customers and the wonderful people that visit or live in our community.

Our kids have in the meantime grown up and moved out, and we are now blessed with beautiful grandchildren, that fill our life with so much joy.
We enjoy life as it comes, with its ups and downs, through laughter and tears, striving to keep things in perspective and relying on the Lord Jesus for strength and perseverance.
Our faith is what we center our lives around and we strive to do our best to glorify Him in every area of our daily walk, including our businesses.
May what we do be a blessing to you.

Evelina

    Hi there!

    We are a craft bean to bar chocolate maker located in Woodstock, IL, and I think our ethically sourced chocolate would be a perfect fit for you.

    It’s been challenging this past year and hope this reaches you at a time where you are starting to think about the next step as well.

    Would you be interested in an order? You can view our catalog and transparency report here:

    I loved reading more about you and your sweet family, Evelina! I first bought your shampoo bar soap from Northwoods, in Sparta (my hometown) – but I live in MN now and trips to my beloved Northwoods County Market are few and far between. However, your Patchouli shampoo bar is by far one of my most favorite shampoo bars I’ve ever used and I’m so glad you shared your website on your label so I could order directly. Wishing you all God’s best!
