Grab the marshmallows. 🔥

Campfire captures the feeling of a late night by the fire, where smoky woods mingle with warm cedar, soft leather and a hint of spice.

And somehow the inside looks exactly how it smells.

I know it’s a bit wonky and abstract, but I don’t hate it.
Not sure what its future holds though.😂

This was supposed to be a moonlit forest. Instead, it turned into something that looks more like a snowy winter woods.

A happy accident? Maybe.

What would you do? I what would you name it?

Toasted Marshmallow 🔥

Part two of the campfire trilogy.

Somewhere on my phone there’s 39 minutes of this! 😂
There’s a very fine line between “artisan technique”and repeatedly fixing the same soap for 40 minutes.

I recently did two community-centre markets at the same location, Tuesdays 3-6 and they ended up teaching me a lot about what makes a market successful.

They start off quiet and almost hesitant, but as people finish work and head home, the whole atmosphere changes. What begins as a small market gradually turns into something that feels more like a neighbourhood gathering.

These events are some of the most welcoming I’ve attended. The lower fees and relaxed environment make them a great place for new makers to gain experience, test products, and build confidence.

What stood out most was the level of engagement. People didn’t just walk by—they stopped, asked questions, shared stories, and took time to learn about what they were buying. That slower pace created real connections, and those connections often turned into sales.

I also noticed that markets in everyday neighbourhoods can generate incredible support for local artisans. People are curious, engaged, and genuinely excited to discover handmade products.

The atmosphere does a lot of the work. Once the music starts, people are moving between tables, neighbours are catching up, and the market becomes part of the community rather than just a place to shop.

One of my biggest takeaways: the most successful market isn’t always the biggest one. Sometimes it’s the one that makes people feel welcome enough to stop, connect, and stay awhile.

Campfire soap reveal 🔥Probably my favourite soap cut so far.

I wanted this soap to feel warm, smoky and rugged…

Smoky black swirls, burnt copper tones and fire-like movement inside every bar.

And the smell!! Like smoke from cedar and pine clinging to a flannel jacket after a late night by the fire.

trying for a campfire vibe, I tried to make soap look like glowing embers in a fire pit

cutting it tomorrow

it fought me the entire time

worth it if the cut turns out the way i’m hoping

Meet Basalt Blush 🌋

Made with activated charcoal, pink French clay, and poppy seeds, this bar pairs a deep earthy cleanse with notes of bergamot, fir, vetiver, sage, and tart rhubarb..

A few things I noticed after my third market:

1. Men buy way more handmade soap than I ever would’ve expected — and not just the earthy, citrusy, or exfoliating ones.
2. A lot of people genuinely want guidance when choosing soaps. Once I started recommending scents or bars based on what they liked, people seemed way less overwhelmed.
3. Being organized before leaving home makes the entire day smoother. My little rolling drawer setup ended up being one of the best things I brought with me.

Still learning every market, but I’m honestly enjoying the process more each time.
