Donna Gillespie held a ribbon-cutting ceremony for her business, Dyer House Soaps and More, at the Breckenridge Chamber of Commerce office on Thursday, Nov. 14.
Her home-based business sells a variety of handmade items, including soap, lotion, sugar scrubs, beard balm, beard oil, magnesium spray, magnesium lotion and more.
Gillespie makes all of the items from scratch and tries to use natural ingredients — such as honey, oatmeal, milk, avocado oil, olive oil and almond oil — whenever she can.
“Most of the stuff I use, you can buy on the cooking aisle at the grocery store,” she said.
The Dyer House Soaps and More products can be seen and ordered via the company’s Facebook page or by email at Dyerhousesoaps@yahoo.com. Orders can be picked up at Gillespie’s home-based shop on West Dyer Street or she can arrange to deliver it to the customer locally.
