Hi friends! Let me first start out by apologizing for a lack of Pride collection this year. I had planned to launch both the Pride collection and the Summer Box at the beginning of June, but life happened. And when I went to order the component oils for my various Pride candles, I found at least one in each blend discontinued. Unfortunately, I just did not have enough time to blend and test new scents. This will be fully rectified next year, so look forward to a new Pride linuep in 2027.
That said, there's much to share!
First and foremost, the Summer Box, FOREST FOLKLORE, is live!
For every forest, there are mysteries. Legends. Things that go bump in the hollers and hills. This summer, we are celebrating the things that watch from the trees, the myths that make the vines grow, the shimmers in the foliage that disappear before your eyes. If you hear them call your name, don't follow.
Some fun items in this one, and several new-to-us makers! Freyja's Daughters has conjured up a perfume that honors the rich supernatural history of the Appalachian hollers, Plunk Soap Co. is offering a molded soap that evokes the Green Man, and Witchwood Bags has designed our first ever pair of socks! As for returning favorites, Athame + Alchemy is offering a sugar scrub for Mothman lovers, Leccare Lollipops is whipping up some sweet treats, and I'm doing a candle and a lip color. As always, the lip color can be swapped out for an uncolored balm, just send us an email!
I am also excited to announce the return of the Fan Collection! Three of these scents were proposed any voted on by members of the Sihaya & Co Fans Group, and one was suggested by my husband, Jason.
* CHAIMALLOW: Cardamom chai topped with marshmallows. Suggested by Mike Z.
* GOLDENGROVE: A reminder of one of our happy places. Morning dew, green leaves, lemon verbena, moss, and subtle hints of honeysuckle. Suggested by Jason P.
* I ASKED FOR THE MOON: Sweet orange blossom deepened by calming sandalwood and grounding patchouli. Suggested by Mike Z.
* TAHITIAN SUNSET: Tiare, vanilla, coconut, a whiff of far-off smoke, and a dash of sea breeze. Suggested by Tania G.
That's all for now! I am in the testing stages of a couple Summery limiteds I hope to offer in late July / early August. A little respite before the onslaught of Autumn. :)
Warmly,
Chris
Summer is Live At Sihaya & Co!
