SPARKLE HOUSE
about the sparkle
In September of 2019, Jennifer Taylor, purchased an abandoned home in Gary and rehabbed it to be her art studio.
In the spring of 2020 the exterior was painted and covered with sparkly jewelry and bits of mirror - all donated from generous members of the community, friends and family.
Hence, THE SPARKLE HOUSE!
The Sparkle House, it's eclectic garden and Greenhouse, hope to serve as inspiration for the community who are welcome to visit the garden anytime. To view the private interior, sign up to be notified of OPEN HOUSE EVENTS.
This video is about 16 min. long but will show you the before and after if you're curious.

SOAP CRAFTERS:
In the summer of 2012 Kathy Long & Mary Dugger met a wonderful neighbor who made the best shea butter-based soap. When the neighbor stopped making it, Mary decided to learn the art of soap-making.
By summer, 2014, Mary had perfected her soap recipe and Kathy began selling the soap at farmers markets and bazaars – Market Soap was born!
Our soaps are handmade, small batched and luxurious. Using natural ingredients – Lake Michigan water and sand as well as rich oils and fats, these soaps are essential to keep your skin soft and supple.
