Erika Hollen of Jackson Sage creates handcrafted soaps and skin care products using natural botanical ingredients. She even has a dog skin care line, Doggie Sage!

What do you make, and what inspires you?
Earth and nature.

What is your favorite spot or thing to do in Raleigh, Durham, and Chapel Hill?
I used to live in Raleigh and I have to say every time I go back I have to do one or more of the following:  The Rose Garden, Char-Grill, Lilly’s Pizza and Umstead Park.

What music do you listen to while crafting or creating?
I listen to the TV.

Favorite movie quote:
“By the beard of Zeus”

Guilty pleasure:
Chocolate, Beer and Wine.

Beer or wine:
Too hard to choose.

Dark, milk, or white chocolate:
Dark Chocolate covered Almonds and Dark Chocolate Strawberries!  But when it comes to chocolate, it is all good.

So start to get excited to visit Erika at the Jackson Sage booth on Saturday November 7th, and see if you can find some lovely new soaps for you and the pooch in your life.
