... that's a wrap on 2025!
Yet another incredible year of soap making, markets, skincare + of course, our wonderful customers + stockists! We always love taking a trip down memory lane, revisiting our highs, awards and special moments.
HANDMADE LOVE AFFAIR @ HENRY OF PELHAM WINERY
Hosted in their beautiful + exclusive barrel cellar surrounded by makers, wine, flowers, baked goods and live music. This was such fun venue - many of you shopping with your gals, lovers and friends. The perfect Valentine's event. Henry of Pelham is just one of those places that feels like "home" to us.
HEART'S DAY MARKET @ DILLON'S SMALL BATCH DISTILLERS
Handmade goods and handcrafted beverages... need we say more? THIS is the spot to hangout, and boy does Dillon's know how to throw a party! This year, we shared our exclusive WILD ROSE + FRANKINCENSE soaps in person (usually they're saved for an online presale) and they were a huge hit at this market!
CAA @ THE PEN CENTRE
This was our third year participating in CAA's Community Boost Program - a retail location for small businesses across Niagara to share their wares with their customers in a large scale retailer. You all loved shopping our products in person whenever you visited The Pen Centre - and we are happy to share that we will continue to be at this location in 2026!
THE FENWICK MARKET
If you know, you know. The Fenwick Market is one of the most special markets we have been fortunate enough to be a part of. The vibes are strong, the music is incredible and the atmosphere is everything you want in a market. It truly feels like you are in another world here! We partnered with our friends Modern Wanderer to bring you all our botanically dyed MARKET TOTES - they were a market hit!!
TORONTO FLOWER
One of the best floral seasons is peony season - filled with gigantic, gorgeous blooms. This market day we were surrounded by BEAUTIFUL, locally grown peonies (the air was so sweet!), and a crowd that completely blew our socks off. This was seriously one for books! Not only did we sell out of many of our top sellers, we also brought an armload of florals home to adorn the studio with, of course.
SOAP FAVOURS
So so many custom soap favours were made in 2025... and we are most definitely not complaining! I absolutely love being creative, creating new soaps + being a part of your special days + life events. Custom soap favours are one of my favourite products to make.
HANDMADE MARKET NIAGARA
HandMade Markets have been a favourite of ours for a decade now! We spent the weekend with our maker friends + saw so many familiar faces.
Our ALOE VERA collection was yet again a best seller, the perfect goods to care for your summer skin. We sipped, savoured and shopped - the HandMade Market way of course!
GET LOST MARKET
Wow did we ever GET LOST... lost in the community, the live music, the great food, the vibes. A perfect fall weekend spent with good company!
Thank you to Katie and Olivia for always putting us makers first, and creating events that we can only dream of, until the next one of course!
VINELAND ARTFEST
Our largest outdoor festival of the year is always one for the books! Year after year this market always blows us away - tens of thousands of people come to Vineland to experience this yearly tradition that has been happening since 1992.
It is an experience you just have to be a part of yourself, hope to see you at next year's ArtFest!
HANDMADE MARKET HOLIDAY
Year after year, HandMade Market Holiday always holds a special place in our hearts. This year was our 14th HMM and we couldn't be more honoured to be a part of such an incredible maker community.
Thank you to Mark, Jennifer + the entire HandMade team for everything that you do to make these markets unforgettable!!
HOLIDAY POP-UP SHOP
From Eden & Co. x Modern Wanderer
Tucked away inside a quaint little shoppe in Fonthill, this collective holiday pop-up was what handmade holiday gifts were made for! We were so fortunate to be shared under so many Christmas tree's this year.
Thank you all for shopping local for the holidays!
AWARDS + EVENTS
One of our biggest moments of 2025 was our first public speaking event for SARAH'S SOAPS at Her Story with The Event Collective. It was an incredible evening with likeminded women in business - inspiring to say the least! It was an incredible experience and we were so happy to share our story + our why with many of you. We were also fortunate enough to win a Canadian Choice Award, a Readers' Choice Niagara Award, and a NiagaraVotes Award.
Another big thank you to you for all of your support last year. 2026 is going to be an even bigger year, with so much NEW - we can't wait to share it with you!
- Sarah
