come join the fun!

From the time my sister Posy (above left) and I were little, we've used our love of creativity to make beautiful gifts for others.   All these years later, the tradition continues.  I LOVE the scent of lavender, and this photo from a lavender festival in Oregon reminds me of the joys of family and the wonderful times we've had together.  Most of my products include lavender essential oil, which is therapeutic and healing in so many ways. 
Now that I'm a grandmother, I want to pass on a love of creativity to my grandchildren.
Whether you're a mom, grandma, or someone who loves to create ... at Grandma Ceil's House, you are always welcome to visit, shop, share recipes, and be inspired.
By the way, if you love needlework, visit my sister's website at The Posy Collection.  It's amazing!

Ceil's ALL-NATURAL PRODUCTS

handmade with love right here in the USA
I love things that smell good, and I absolutely LOVE good-smelling soap, but I am allergic to synthetic fragrances. Besides, our skin needs natural products, not chemicals.

Over the years I tried many kinds of natural soap, but I never could find that perfect bar — so I decided to make my own, and I've never looked back. 

Making soap is like therapy for me. I love making it and sharing with others. Everyone said, "You ought to sell this," so now I do.  

I have added many other products to my line, such as lip balm, all-purpose healing salve, lotion bars, all-natural hand sanitizer, linen and room spray, silky shea butter lotion, in addition to soap.

where to buy

Visit Adjectives Market in historic Winter Garden, Florida, to purchase my products. The Missouri Star Quilt Company also carries my soap, lip balm, peppermint lotion bar, wool felt needle case, and beeswax thread conditioner, which can be ordered online on their website. Look for everything else on Etsy. 

GRANDMA CEIL'S FAMOUS chocolate-chip COOKIES

Over the years I have made thousands of these cookies for every kind of occasion, from birthdays to potlucks to weddings. A "big cookie" has always been the favorite prize and a major motivation for my students to excel. People call me the cookie lady. Why not bake some for your loved ones and become famous yourself? 

doing for others

Each of us has God-given talents that we can use to help others, no matter what age we are. What do you love to do, and how can you use that skill to be a blessing to someone else? Let's share ideas to encourage each other.

about me

Picture
 My name is Ceil, and I love to sew, cook, knit, crochet, weave, paint, and make things to share with my friends — but most of all, I love being a grandma. My house is a place filled with lots of love and fun things to do. 

I LOVE sheep and wool products, but I live in Florida, so I just enjoy looking at other people's sheep and their wool creations on Pinterest. 

I also love to make soap and other all-natural herbal products you'll find on this site.

During tax season you'll find me at my husband's Liberty Tax office, handing out homemade cookies and lip balm to our wonderful clients, and sometimes even filing tax returns!  We can file taxes remotely now, so if you'd like to have an expert handle your taxes, we'd love to help you.  Ask for Wesley. 

Now that I'm retired from teaching, I have more time to volunteer.  I find that doing for others brings the best joy of all.

​Thanks for visiting my website!
