When you look at a plant’s tag or a plant for that matter it is next to impossible to identify which ones have the DNA from a species native to your state or region.But then there are times when “by George” there it is, a variety like carmel is labeled as a hybrid variety of Heuchera villosa. Now, don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying everyone in the country should choose carmel or one of the other varieties that might be identified as H. villosa, but to me, in Georgia, it’s a clue that it might have a little more heat tole... http://staugustine.com/living-garden/2017-01-11/heuchera-or-coral-bells-fabulous-foliage-flowers-attract-hummingbirds

So she began making her own all-natural, vegan bar soaps and solid lotion bars using organic oils and butters, and essential oils. About the same time, she learned to spin animal fibers into yarn. Soon, she was making more soap and yarn than her friends and family could use, so Cabin Crafted was born. She also sells her products at local craft shows. Because most of the men in her family wear beards, she developed beard oils that can be used to moisturize and tame facial hair. She also developed a short line of salves and balms.In addition to Etsy.com, Stafford will sell at the Blacksburg Farmers Market holiday market on Dec. 12 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.Photo courtesy of Nancy Mundycooknwithmeproduct collectionCrafter: Nancy Mundy, RoanokeEtsy shop: CookNwithmePrice range: $13.50-$28.50Mundy sells accessories for babies, including padded play mats/throws, toddler and baby bibs, changing pads and fleece/flannel sleep sacks.
