The Soap Lady

Description

A delightful woman, selling soap hand made from traditional ingredients, some imported from Scotland. Her booth was at a Civil War reenactment I enjoyed attendingy, and she was one of the most engaging and outgoing people I've had the pleasure of meeting and talking with. She simply draws one in with her exuberant personality.
