 A Grateful Heart + Holiday Preparations at Bittersweet

What a wonderful weekend! I want to take a moment to thank each of you who came out to our annual Porch Sale. Your kind words, smiling faces, and enthusiasm filled the shop with joy, and it always reminds me how special our community truly is. Seeing our retired display pieces and clothing find new homes is such a treat, and it makes the hard work that goes into preparing for this event all the more worth it.

Now, with the Porch Sale behind us, I’m turning my focus to the holiday season — one of the busiest and most exciting times of the year at Bittersweet. The wrapping paper is out, and Holiday Soaps are making their way into tidy little packages, ready for you to gift to friends and family. Freshly made skincare is also being stocked each week, from Tallow Crème to Lip Balms, so your favorites will be on hand when you need them most.

And because I love to blend classic Bittersweet with a touch of fresh style, we’re bringing in new denim, cozy cotton-blocked scarves, and breezy linen tops that I know you’re going to fall in love with. These pieces feel just right for the season ahead — practical, beautiful, and timeless.

Thank you again for supporting handmade and shopping small. Your encouragement keeps this maker inspired, especially as we head into this joyful, bustling season.

With gratitude,
Jill
