| MICHELLE SYLVIA... |
| When You Wish Upon A Star... Once upon a time there was a Stay at Home Mom who Loved her Family so. She woke each morning to serve them and meet their needs. One day she started thinking about the Woman she once was before Motherhood. Energetic, Independent and Confident. She began to wish for something all her own that would satisfy her need to create as well as provide extra income for her family. Thus, The Blackberry Briar was born. My name is Michelle Sylvia, Owner, Creator and Designer at The Blackberry Briar. I create many forms of Art along with Hand Poured Soy Candles that are Hand Poured from my heart to your home. I use the highest quality oils and wax in my candles assuring that you receive a quality product each and everytime you purchase from me. I also make coordinating Room Sprays which are a wonderful addition to your home as air fresheners for the Bathroom, Kitchen, Bedroom and just about anywhere. Thank You for taking the time to sample my products. |

| MARIE MORGAN First many ask how I came up with the name primitives by "Olde" lady Morgan? Well it really started as a joke from my girl's trip. I am the youngest in the group and they started calling me Olde lady Morgan. It stuck! I changed my business name from Marie's country collectibles to this in 2006. I have always had an art background, but I started painting folk art in 1989 after my son was born just for a reason to get out of the house. In 1994 I started my business and was part of a co-op in Geneva for awhile, then in a small space in state street market in Elgin until 2001. I have continued to craft and do a few shows. My tastes over the last few years have gone more primitive and I love to sew then paint and make things look like they came from yester-year! My neighbors think I am nuts when they see me taking something that looks fine the way it is and beat it and dye it to look olde! Older the better! I am lucky to have met Sandy 2 years ago. I walked in one day and just asked if she would like to see what I do and I am lucky to have a creative outlet for my prim pieces! My favorite time is fall and also my favorite thing to craft along with snowmen! I keep many of my favorites out all year! I am 42 years young, married for 21 years, have 2 boys Alex 20, Steven 18. Both are in college. We live in Bartlett with our 2-year-old black lab Knuckles. Olde lady Morgan |
