Introducing our Gardener's Collection!

We have a new line of lotion bars, soap, wax melts, and experimental candles.

New Scents:

-Ambrosia: Smells like honey nectar, said wine of the Ancient Greek gods. Floral and Sweet. Lotion bars, $7.00, wax melts, $8.00

-Fangorn's Trail: Inspired by the Ents of Lord of the Rings. Smells of evergreen, vetiver, and a touch of lemongrass and mint Available in gardener's soap, beeswax candles, and wax melts.

New Soap ($7.00 for 3.5-4 oz bars):

Goat milk and tallow with a touch of local beeswax, rustic look. The gentle, unscented bars have powdered calendula petals. The scented gardener's soaps have finely ground luffa for extra exfoliation.

Endeavors:

-We are also trying our hand at candles made from pure beeswax and organic coconut oil, like our wax melts. We also will be making soy candles soon. 🙂 Beeswax can be tricky to work with, but clean and beautiful! The big 8 oz candles start to tunnel after 3-4 hours, so they are only $15.00 until we can get in some wooden wicks. Our smaller candles, in 4 oz tins, have 2 wicks and will be $10.00.

We are finally launching that long-overdue Spring Collection!!! Plus a limited-time free gift, no purchase necessary. To celebrate, we're spending Earth Day with our friends over at Cloud Mountain Kombucha, at 208 W Griggs Street in Urbana.

As a thank you for all of your support, there will be gardening kits with seeds and baby strawberry plants! For those of you in Paxton who can't make it out to Urbana, we are also putting some out under the Little Free Libraries around town. Can't wait to show you more pictures soon!!❤️

Hey everyone! We have a couple updates. One, if you would like first dibs on some of our spring items, make sure to stop by Boneyard Boulders this Friday in Champaign for Love Motion, a fun evening out with friends! 7pm to 11pm, music, art, dancing, shopping, and kombucha. 🙂

Second, I'm going to have to postpone our official launch a little bit more for our Spring Collection. I'm so sorry! One of the hard deadlines for my master's thesis was bumped up, so I haven't had much time to wrap soap or make the candles we were going to debut tomorrow. However, we will have something special for you all at Love Motion and I will make an announcement next week!

A little bit of making behind the scenes. This week, a fresh batch of lavender lotion and some chickweed, calendula, and frankincense infusions. Can't wait until our cherry tree blooms!

So we're just making stuff. I broke out the thermal label printer for the first time today, too! A funny thing to be excited about, I know. 😄 Jackie also says hi! He is doing very well. Cuddly and playful, and makes time for naps on cloudy March days like this. ❤️

Lotion making is an endeavor, kind of reminds me of canning and the witchcraft of candy making. Sanitize equipment and work surface, clear the area, melt the butters, warm the liquids, blend, cool, and blend again in the scent and natural preservative. Keep at just the right temperature, not too much and not too little, and don't let it cool so much so you can't get it in a bottle!

But hey, I don't have to buy it and there is plenty to go around! Ours goes on thick, but non-greasy, like a body cream.

We're excited to be part of a new community of cottage businesses partnering with the Legacy Center in Rantoul, Illinois. One Saturday each month, we are gathering to showcase some of the beautiful work neighbors do to bring a little extra love and life into our communities.

The next Saturday Shopping day is April 18th, 2026. 107 North Kentucky Avenue

We appreciate it so much when you come out and support us little guys, because every dollar going into local businesses goes back into our towns!
