KATIE DEGESIE Soap
Grass Lake, MI Booth 28
KATIE DEGESIE started creating my botanical soaps and skincare for herself and family because it was difficult to find clean, organic products. Today it provides a creative outlet and it pushes Katie to explore various plants and their properties. Soap is her best-selling product as she can mix and match different botanicals, oils, clays, butters and essential oils. Her 2026 inventory will also include bath items, lip balm, lotion, body and room sprays, laundry detergent, beeswax candles, clay masks and beard care items. New products will include elderberry syrup kits will be available.
Returning to Booth 28, Katie will be at the Saline Craft Show on Saturday, March 7 from 8 am-3:30 pm at Saline Middle School. Free parking available at GPS 520 Woodland Dr E and enter admission doors or take free shuttle bus to front door from 7265 N Ann Arbor (Liberty School). Over 150 juried crafters from 7 states will be present to display and sell their wares.
Correction regarding the fire special assessment, council is authorizing ~$646,746 or 1 mill as a special assessment towards the city overall fire budget of $1,086,214. The remainder is funded from General fund.
Regarding the budget, it is more than inflation—proposed new positions are being added; facilities manager and economic development director, also a Water/Waste position (funded with utility fees).
