Naturesway LLC is a home based business producing over 1/2 of the items by hand or by finishing pre-made products into a mini work of art. 90% of the candles are hand-made by Martha Mastropolo, owner of NatureSway. The mission of is to encourage people to think more about how useless things are not useless. Many of my candles are poured into recycled jelly jars or pickle jars or old mason jars for example. I also hope to educate people, especially young people about stewarting our Mother Earth. To accomplish this, I give them pine cones for free and ask them questions about nature. I use Native American stories to entertain and instruct children and adults about why it is important to conserve and preserve our Planet Earth. NatureSway LLC is also in business to make a profit. Last March, I lost my job and could not see myself making a commitment to another corporation. I hope that my business will be successful and people are drawn to my products and the importance of planet stewartship. In the cooler weather, I willl wear my regalia from when I was a tradition women's dancer on the pow wow circuit. I am not Native American, but was privilaged to be invited to join as a dancer and attend pipe cerimonies and sweat lodges.
I assemble jewelry, make candles, buy and resell or finish birdhouses and bird-feeders, carry tumbled stones and sea shells; anything having to do with nature. Even my jewelry is tribal or reflective of the natural world. I will be adding beaded glass earrings soon when I have a few nights to assemble some and should have a few pairs for the show on 10/25.
Naturesway LLC is currently in the process of being formed into an LLC with the SOS of Illinois. FEIN Number is pending.
