 Footcandy
- Recently when Napa Valley vintner Perry Butler counted his wife,
Carolyn's, pairs of shoes, he stopped at 500. Obviously, she had
a passion for more than making fine wine. He thought, "Why
not combine both passions, which involve high style and world travel?"
While Perry is tasting wines for his label, Juslyn Vineyards, in
London, Milan, New York and Paris, Carolyn could meet with designers
on the Left Bank or its equivalent. And so, Footcandy was born.
The elegant shoe shop now sits squarely in the heart of Napa Valley
wine country, in the quaint village St. Helena. Despite its country
locale, the tone is decidedly upscale and international.
 Napa
Soap Company was founded by Napa Valley local, Sheila
Rockwood. Having grown up in the Napa Valley, Sheila wanted to create
a product which utilized ingredients made in the Napa Valley. She
also wanted to create a product which could truly work - one which
others could enjoy and use. Sheila was also very conscious in creating
a small business which she could manage in addition to raising her
three sons - all under the age of 5. Combining her interest in the
environment, aromatherapy and a prolific supply of lavender, Sheila
discovered that soap offered a natural outlet for her talents. After
researching the therapeutic benefits of a by-product of the local
wine industry, cold-pressed grapeseed oil, Sheila decided to use
this wonderful ingredient throughout her line.

the southern slope of Spring Mountain overlooking California’s
Napa Valley. The valley, with a well-established reputation for
its world-class wines, is now becoming known for the exceptional
extra virgin olive oils it produces. The Mediterranean climate enjoyed
by the region blesses wine and olive oil equally and these foods
have become accepted as an integral part of the heart healthy Mediterranean
diet. Poplar Hill Olive Oil Co. is a small family operation run
by William and Rachel Casey. The “Lucca” olive grown
on the estate is a Tuscan cultivar prized for its exceptional flavor
qualities. Poplar Hill Extra Virgin Olive Oil was awarded a silver
