Closing out a remarkable year...

As the year comes to a close, we find ourselves pausing-just for a moment-to reflect on how far we've come.  

This year marked the opening of Concord Hill Soap and Candle, a finally realized dream of owning my own brick and mortar shop.  It was a dream that lived on paper, in late-night planning sessions, and countless test runs long before the doors ever opened.  What began as an idea rooted in handcrafted intention and a love of beautifully made, natural, clean bath and body products has grown into something far more meaningful: a welcoming space filled with community connection and support.  

I am continually overwhelmed by the encouragement, kindness, and enthusiasm that welcomed us on Main Street.  You didn't just shop-you asked questions, shared stories, gave great feedback, brought your friends, and trusted us with your self-care and gift giving moments,  That trust means everything.

There were long days, learning curves, behind the scenes challenges, and lots of laughs.  But the greatest moments came from an overheard compliment, a customer returning to buy their favorite scent again, or someone telling us that our products made them slow down and breathe.

As we step into the new year we're excited to continue growing-refining what you love and introducing new products. In January we will launch our Fragrance of the Month with the ever customer favorite: Champagne and Sugar. We will be introducing more men's grooming essentials, including a luxury shaving soap designed for a rich, ultra-creamy lather for an elevated shave experience. We're also expanding into practical, ingredient-conscious offerings, like a natural laundry soap-crafted with the same care and quality you expect from everything we make.

Beyond our product lines, we're especially excited to begin hosting make-and-take events-hands on experiences that invite you behind the scenes to create, learn, and connect in a relaxed, welcoming setting.

Nonetheless, our commitment remains the same: the highest quality, cleanest ingredients, intentional formulations, and a calm, elevated experience every time you visit. 

Thank you for being part of our first 6 months. Whether you stopped in once, became a regular, followed along online, commented on our socials, or cheered from afar-you helped make this year a success. 

We can't wait to see you again!

With deepest gratitude,

Kristie
