We'll see you this year in the Bywater. Our friends are renovating a beautiful corner store and we'll be their first tenants. We can't wait to bring this spot back to commerce and share it with everyone again.
WHAT'S IN STORE?
We will supply an array of apothecary brands, not just our own creations. As well, we are proud to offer local sundries and artwork. Sprinkled in will be some cool vintage finds from estate sales and antique stores.

FAMILY INSPIRATION
History is important to us, and we believe that we carry the spirits of our ancestors with us daily. Our families both have a history of creating - whether it be a new food or a "healing water", plus a history of storefronts - groceries, tailors, and hardware stores. We are excited to continue the tradition and offer handmade products in our new Bywater location.
STEPHEN J BARTUSH
Jessica's great-grandfather owned 3 Detroit storefronts by the time he was 21. He's the young man in front wearing the white apron with a hand on his hip.
Photo taken circa 1915, he's believed to have been 14 here. Quaker Oats and other grocery products can be seen in the storefront window.
RIVIERE
Greg's grandmother is the namesake of "Nana's Rose Garden" products. 1947 Rose Queen in the Rose Capital of the World, Tyler, Texas.
​
Her father operated Riviere Bottling Company, crafting "healing water" (with believed "medicinal effects"), mineral water, and other beverages using local spring water.
​
CHARLES BARTUSH
Jessica's grandfather's 1950 Texas State Fair Exhibitor's Ticket.
His wife, Mary Jane Green, is the inspiration behind our "Mary Jane's" product line.
​
They both were major role models reinforcing Jessica's love of nature.
JOHN J DENGLER
Greg's great-grandfather owned a hardware store, toy store, and gift store in Belleville, Illinois. His sons worked here and later in other hardware stores. John J Dengler & Sons was located at 306 W Main Street, but the building is since demolished.

This spool of ribbon was used to package gifts and home goods. Purchases were wrapped in butcher paper and then tied with a bow.
