Sweet Sprig

🍂 ONLY 13 BARS LEFT!

Okay, Cinnamon Clove lovers—this is your warning. Our seasonal Cinnamon Clove Soap is almost gone, and once these last bars leave the shelf, that’s it for the season!

Warm, spicy, cozy and basically autumn in soap form. 🍁🧼 If you’ve been meaning to grab one—or you already know you’re going to want another—today is the day to stop in.

We have about 13 bars left at Sweet Sprig on Jay Street, and I have a feeling they’re not going to hang around much longer.

Come snag yours while you’re downtown today! ❤️

New mugs just landed and they are making our fall tea game significantly cuter. 🍂☕️

Whether you’re feeling a little witchy, celestial, mushroom-obsessed, or just need a mug that makes your morning coffee more fun, we’ve got you covered.

Perfect for cozy evenings, herbal tea, big cups of coffee, or gifting to someone who definitely does not need another mug…but absolutely deserves one anyway.

Available now in the shop on Jay Street. Come pick your favorite before they disappear. 🍄🐦‍⬛🎃✨

At our upcoming Sip & Shop, we’ll have a sweet little DIY station where you can create your own Message in a Bottle—write a note, tuck it inside, add a few botanical touches, and take it home with you.

Write a wish, a reminder to yourself, poem, love note, something funny, or something you want to remember.

Just one of the fun things we have planned for the evening, along with seasonal snacks & drinks, our autumn collection, a photo booth, and a door prize raffle.

🍂 Sip & Shop + Art Night Schenectady on Friday Sept 18 5-8:30pm.
Come hang out, make something, shop a little, and celebrate fall with us.

Who are you writing your message to? 💌

🍫 CHOCOLATE ANISE IS BACK.

Rich cocoa, warm spice, and that unmistakable hint of anise make this one of our coziest seasonal bars.

A little dark, a little spicy, and very autumn. 🍂

Small batch + seasonal, so snag a bar while it’s here.

🍎 IT’S BACK.

Fuji Apple has officially returned for the season — crisp, juicy, fresh-picked apple goodness poured into a cozy soy candle.

Basically apple orchard energy without having to leave the house. 🍂

Seasonal + small batch, so grab yours while it’s here.

🍂 Harvest Harmony Sip & Shop is coming to Sweet Sprig! 🍂

We’re celebrating the start of cozy season AND Art Night Schenectady with an evening of shopping, sipping, making, and a little fall fun on Jay Street.

Come hang out with us and:

🍁 Shop our new autumn lineup of soaps, candles, skincare, home goods & gifts
🎨 Make a fun DIY craft to take home
📸 Snap a pic at our autumn photo booth

And since it’s Art Night Schenectady, don’t stop with us! Wander Jay Street and downtown, visit the galleries and shops, check out the art, and make a whole evening of it.

Grab a friend and come welcome fall with us. 🍂

📍 Sweet Sprig | 166 Jay Street, Schenectady

Fall is starting to settle into the shop 🍂

We’ve been bringing in all the things that make cooler evenings feel a little better—cozy throws, beautiful rugs, vases, mugs, and herbal teas perfect for slowing down at the end of the day.

Think: tea in your favorite mug, a blanket on the couch, something pretty on the table, and absolutely no reason to leave the house once it gets chilly.

And if you want to come soak up the fall feeling in person, join us for our upcoming Sip & Shop on Friday Sept 19 at Sweet Sprig. Bring a friend, sip something seasonal, browse the new arrivals, and spend a cozy evening with us on Jay Street.

Come see what’s new. We have a feeling you’re going to want to take a few things home. 🍁

🚨 EMERGENCY ANNOUNCEMENT FROM MANAGEMENT 🚨

Hi. Potato here.

Apparently this Thursday is Mommy LAST SOAPMAKING CLASS OF THE YEAR.

I asked why.

She said because she is “tired.”

I understand. I myself work upwards of 15 minutes a day.

So this is your FINAL CHANCE in 2026 to come to Sweet Sprig and learn how Mommy make soap from scratch.

You will:
🧼 Make soap
🌿 Learn about ingredients
👃 Pick good smells
🎨 Make it pretty
🐶 Be supervised by someone with absolutely no soapmaking credentials

Anyway, if you have been saying ALL YEAR that you want to take a soapmaking class, this is it.

THIS THURSDAY.

Love,
Potato
Manager

Today we lost Gloria Steinem.

We at Sweet Sprig are feminists. How could we not be? We are a woman-owned business, run by women, serving so many women every day.

We are surrounded by women building businesses, raising families, making art, caring for their communities, starting over, speaking up, and figuring out what it means to live life on their own terms.

Gloria Steinem spent her life fighting for that freedom.

Today, I keep coming back to some of her words:

“I have yet to hear a man ask for advice on how to combine marriage and a career.”

“Listen, honey, if men could get pregnant, abortion would be a sacrament.”

“Women are always saying, ‘We can do anything that men can do,’ but men should be saying, ‘We can do anything that women can do.’”

And one that feels especially important:

"..a lot of people in this country have had the courage to raise their daughters more like their sons... But there are many fewer people who have had the courage to raise their sons more like their daughters.”

Thank you, Gloria, for being loud when women were expected to be quiet. For asking uncomfortable questions. For challenging what we had been taught to accept. And for helping generations of women imagine lives bigger than the ones prescribed for them.

The work isn't finished. Not even close.

So we keep going. ❤️
