One day I realized my skin felt dirty. The “soap” I was using was not getting me clean. I went to the grocery store to seek a product called “soap”…not “cleanser” or “beauty bar” or “body wash”. I found “soap” then read the ingredients and found soap was merely an ingredient. I wanted Soap without all the chemicals added. I researched soap and discovered not only could I make it — I LOVE MAKING SOAP! I love researching the benefits of the various natural ingredients (including amazing essential oils) on skin. I love the beauty of handcrafted soap and how incredibly clean and moisturized my skin feels when I use it. I love the uniqueness of each small batch of soap I create and love sharing these incredible products through El’s Handcrafted Soap products! Every El’s Handcrafted Soap bar is unique because it is made in small batches. Every ingredient has been selected because of its quality and incredible benefits to your skin so it feels clean and moisturized. Variety is a key component in the making of El’s Handcrafted Soap — Every handcrafted bar has a unique design, colors, fragrance (phthalate and paraben free), oils, butters, natural ingredients and […]

Sidney is a military veteran and woodworker, who creates butcher blocks, cutting boards, charcuterie boards, cheese slicers, and home decor. His handmade pieces are made using a variety of wood types. With no formal training, I tackled my first wood project as a means to an end. My daughter needed a shoe rack, and the prefabricated pieces he found seemed poorly assembled out of cheap materials. A passion for woodworking was sparked through the creation process of my first project. As a truly self-taught artist, I continuously hone my craft, modifying my processes, and improving my techniques. It’s truly inspiring to start with a raw wood piece and carve it ultimately turning it into something sustainable, functional, and representative of home. Each piece is handmade and created to be something beautiful for your home that will bring joy and traditions for generations. Sidney’s passion for quality pieces has become infectious. His wife Laddavan, who started out doing our back-office functions, now is making and selling custom-made beautiful home decor pieces that bring out the artist in her. Shop family-operated, veteran-owned, American-made, hand-crafted home goods. A proud partner of GO TEXAN!

Mike Tumlinson is a talented wood designer who works with his clients to customize their wood design ideas to their specifications and personal activities. Mike believes in high-quality work and builds all designs by hand so your items will truly be one of a kind! He proudly makes his designs in his woodshop located in Bryan, Texas. Mike started his wood design work as a hobby making custom and personalized cedar ice coolers for his friends and family twenty years ago. Since then, and due to COVID-19, he is “semi-retired” after working 30+ years in the oilfield and has turned his hobby into a full-time business. His wife, Brenda, has a house full of custom-designed furniture, coffee servers, crosses, cutting and serving boards, and corn hole game boards along with a beautiful picnic table. Mike’s quality work is on full display in their home and this has resulted in requests for custom designs for other family members and friends to include entertainment centers, hope chests, custom saddle holder, potato and onion bins, live edge cedar river tables, and armoires.  He has donated several pieces of his work to churches for their annual fundraising events, the Chamber of Commerce, and other […]

About the owner Starting my professional career as an elementary school teacher, to being a full time stay at home mom, then back into the workforce in my latter years, I am constantly being challenged and learning new skills. As a co owner of two businesses with my husband in the hunting/wild game industry and attending many sports shows with him, I saw the “female factor” was missing at these events and thus began Reflection Outpost- as rustic décor and accessories boutique. But whatever I am doing, I love working with people getting to know their stories, […]
