Do you sell at markets - want to grow your email list without another app, QR code or bit of tech on your stall? šŸ‘€

I’ve made something for you.

The Join the Mailing List sheet is designed to sit on a clipboard at your stall so customers can leave their details and opt in to hear from you again.

And it’s completely free.

It’s one of the printable resources inside The Studio Paper Binder from Fern Dale Makers Studio - a growing collection of practical paperwork for people who actually make and sell things.

There are free downloads for different kinds of makers too, including:

• Join the Mailing List - useful for makers, artists, crafters and market traders
• Candle Burn Sign-off - Launch Standard - for candle makers
• Skincare Batch Production Record - for skincare & soap makers

No Studio subscription needed. No purchase required.

Just useful paperwork you can print and actually use.

Comment ā€œBINDERā€ and I’ll tell you where to get the free downloads.

And if you know someone who spends their weekends behind a market stall, send this to them - the mailing-list sheet might be the most useful freebie they pick up this week.

They’re back. Finally. šŸ˜†

The sugar scrubs have been out of stock for far too long, but I’ve finally been back at the bench making them again.

For now, Wild Current and Golden Bloom have returned, along with a brand new one:

Amber Grove
Sweet Orange & Rosemary

These are rich, emulsified full-body sugar scrubs designed to polish, smooth and soften the skin, and I’d forgotten just how lovely they are to make.

A small restock for now — but a very welcome one. ✨

Wild Current • Golden Bloom • Amber Grove

Available now from Fern Dale Rituals.

There’s always that moment when you pour a soap and think…

Well. We’ll see what that looks like tomorrow. šŸ˜†

This is Dark Cologne, a brand new tallow soap.

I went for black and cream, poured it, and waited patiently for the cut.

And I’m so glad I did.

The swirls have come out completely differently in every bar — smoky, marbled and slightly dramatic, which feels absolutely right for this one.

Now it just needs time to cure before it’s ready.

If you hear vanilla and immediately think very sweet, sugary, bakery-type fragrances…

This isn’t that.

Vanilla & Musk is the quieter, more grown-up side of vanilla.

Soft vanilla. Powdery musk. Understated warmth.

It starts creamy and familiar, then the musk comes through and makes it softer and almost skin-like. There’s gentle sweetness from tonka, warmth from amber and cedar underneath it all to give it a lovely grounded edge.

And I think that’s what I like most about this one.

It doesn’t need Christmas, pumpkins or cold weather to make sense.

It’s the candle you light because you’re home.

Because you’ve tidied the living room.

Because someone’s coming over.

Or because absolutely nobody is coming over and you’d quite like the house to smell gorgeous for yourself. šŸ˜‚

Vanilla & Musk.

Definitely vanilla. Just not as you might expect it.

This one is rather special.

Ancient Glow.

It’s warm, deep and slightly mysterious - the sort of fragrance that makes a room feel different without immediately shouting about what it is.

There’s resinous amber, sandalwood and vanilla, with gentle cinnamon and sweet orange running through it.

But the feeling I kept coming back to when I was working on it was old wood in warm evening light.

That golden hour when everything becomes a little softer, the room starts getting darker and you haven’t quite reached for the lamps yet.

That’s Ancient Glow.

Warm. Woody. Ambered. Quietly beautiful.

And after all the testing, tweaking and waiting, it’s finally ready to leave my house and start making other people’s homes smell rather fabulous too. šŸ¤Ž

Apparently autumn is officially here.

The weather, however, seems to have missed the memo. šŸ˜‚šŸ‚

But I’m ignoring that because Pumpkin Season is finally ready to make its proper appearance.

This is exactly the sort of fragrance I love at this time of year - warm, sweet and spicy, with ginger, clove, orange and nutmeg running through it, softened with caramel and vanilla.

It’s rich and cosy without smelling like I’ve emptied the entire contents of the baking cupboard into a candle šŸ˜‚

And yes, it may currently be a little warmer outside than the name Pumpkin Season would suggest, but the evenings are drawing in, the leaves are changing and I am absolutely ready for autumn scents.

So I’m calling it.

Pumpkin Season has begun. šŸ‚

The weather can catch up when it’s ready.
