Maureen McDonald
I began creating pebble art images as gifts for friends and family members, but soon found myself busy filling orders for others. I love the simplicity of design enforced by this medium, and am still thrilled to find a perfect piece of beach glass that evokes the wind lifting a bride’s veil, or two pebbles that fit together perfectly to form a
​couple in a loving embrace.

Kingston Soap Company

The desire to create our own soap came from a trip to Provence in France.
On a warm October morning we ventured into the town of Vaison La Romaine to visit their market. We stopped at a stall that sold dozens of different types of soaps that we had never seen before, such as, Herbes de Provence. Lavender flowers, herbs and spices could be seen dotted throughout this bar of soap. This was the inspiration for our soaps and bath products. We started selling our products in 2008 after ​many years of research and experimentation.
