This is what I do on my days off.

Apparently, after spending all week making things, my idea of relaxing is… making more things. 😂

Soapmaking is my day job, and after over 20 years, that chemistry feels familiar. Jewelry is different. Metal has its own rules, solder has a mind of its own, and it humbles me constantly.

But I love the moment when it all comes together and something that only existed in my head is suddenly in my hand.

Science tells me what is possible.

Art asks me what I can make from it. ✨

Sharing the love- We finally made it in before they sold out. 😂🥐

Petite Grace had dropped off a sample for us before they opened, so we already knew the croissants were amazing. The problem has been actually getting there early enough to snag one since opening. 😆

The other day on my way to work, I found out my daughter Jaden was coming in to help me, so I asked, “Want me to try to get you a croissant?”

Her immediate response: “HELL YES.” 😂

Mission accomplished.

And yes, still amazing.

We’re pretty sure they’re not using Em’z Blendz products to make them glow like that 😂 but they ARE importing their butter and flour from France, so that probably explains a few things. 🇫🇷✨

We love seeing another new business bringing something special to Downtown Medford. Go show Petite Grace some love, just get there early because they’ve been selling out FAST.

So happy to have you downtown, Petite Grace. 💛🥐 check out their hours Petite Grâce Croissant Cafè | Downtown Medford

October’s Third Friday is going to be EXTRA fun downtown! 🍷🍴✨

Friday, October 16 kicks off the first day of Forks & Friends, Downtown Medford’s celebration of food, drinks, local businesses and community.

And yes… Em’z Blendz is one of the stops! 🥰 We’ll have Quady North pouring right here at the shop, so come see us!

Then Forks & Friends Restaurant Week keeps going through October 25, giving you even more reasons to eat, drink, shop and explore downtown Medford.

Cutting Oregon Coast Soap today and look what I found hiding in one of the swirls… a little heart. 🤍🌊

Which feels pretty perfect because I really do love this soap.

And even cuter, it looks just like the little heart I always draw in my signature. 🥹

It’s one of those bars that just looks like Oregon to me. That teal ocean layer, sandy shore, Pacific sea salt, and that fresh coastal blend of cypress, cedarwood, eucalyptus, peppermint and lime. Every single bar comes out a little different, which is part of what I love about making it.

And apparently one of them decided to come with a heart.

Now I’m wondering… who is going to end up with this special little bar? 💙
