Dr. Dandelion
Posted by Deb Robbins & filed under .
Moses Hansen, an herbal doctor, fondly known as Dr. Dandelion lived in our house in Maine in the 1800’s. We continue his tradition of simplicity, using all-natural ingredients with no synthetic additives or coloring- because, “We Believe Less is Better”. All you have to do is look at the ingredient list on most body care products. We have a hard time pronouncing them let alone understanding what they do. We believe that ingredients should do their job, treat you and the environment gently and avoid being oriented toward extended shelf life and eye-appeal. We include essential working ingredients and take everything else out.
The only animal testing we do is on our dog, Bea. She loves a bath using our Olive Oil Soap! We are an earth friendly, people-friendly, animal-friendly company.

Scented candles, the very best you can buy. Paraffin and Soy candles are made with only top quality wax, wicks, essence, and the finest glass jars from Anchor Hocking, delighting us with the superiority of the candles performance, appearance and aroma. We make them here in our home shop in the Appalachian Mountains of Maine, Lexington Township 04961.
The unique homemade fashion of production makes these candles unbeatable. Every dye and essence is meticulously hand weighed using a precise beam scale. Lead free wicks are hand-straightened and centered. All the wax is hand poured. Once you try these superior candles, you will be coming back for more and more. We have several sizes of glass jars, have votives, and tarts. Our candles burn clean, evenly across, and smell strong to the very last flicker. You will not find a candle that throws the scent throughout your home as well as ours do.
Designs by Diana Bags

I design and create an extensive line of fine handcrafted modern uptake of upholstery bags and accessories. I pride myself in the uniqueness, versatility, and quality of my workmanship. All my bags are fully lined and made of very durable fabrics. I have been creating my bags since 1998.
My most unique creation is a hide-a-way backpack. Starts as an adjustable shoulder bag with an outside zipper pocket and then when you unzip the backside, out pops a backpack. Many uses include day trips, traveling, shopping, hiking, snowshoeing, you name it you can use it!
My newest and most popular bag is a shoulder/hip bag. It has an adjustable detachable shoulder strap that can also be used as a waist strap to make it a hip bag.
All my bags are machine washable, cold water, gentle cycle, and line dry.

I create and design hand stitched soft sculpture felt toys, dolls, and animals. Each piece is lovingly hand stitched, created from scratch with inspiration from my children and the nature and wildlife here on my property in rural Maine!
I could never keep up with the demand for these whimsical creatures, so I also publish sewing patterns and offer crafting kits so that you can make them too!
I source as many of my materials from New England as I can. Some fibers I work with are yarns from local farmers, and even fibers produced right here on my property by my angora rabbits!
