For They & Friends Marketplace Opens
A cheery hello from your neighborhood dandelion-loving body-care maker.
I’m thrilled to share some exciting news: Zoopitee Herbals has been invited to join the brand-new For They & Friends Marketplace! This lovely local shop brings together a curated collection of makers, artists, and small-batch creators — and I’m honored to have my products featured alongside such incredible talent.
The marketplace is warm, welcoming, and full of handmade goodness. Let me give you a tour of the wonderful Friends featured at The Market.
Abby Chu Design
Abby Chu creates elegant, modern jewelry that feels both timeless and bold. Her pieces feature pearls, gold-filled metals, and a sense of effortless style. Even better — she donates 5% of sales to ocean conservation. Her jewelry brings a gentle “unapologetically you” energy into the shop, and I’m in love with the quiet confidence of each piece.
For They Skincare & Wellness
Clean, natural beauty is the heartbeat of For They Skincare. Their products are made with simple, effective ingredients and packaged sustainably — a perfect match for anyone who cares about what goes on their skin and what goes back into the planet. Their Glorious Glow Face Oil is especially dreamy. A big thank you to the hosts of the new Marketplace!
Gwen’s Garden Goods
If joy could be wrapped in a tea towel or bar of soap, Gwen would be the one to do it. Her plant-based soaps, paired with her beautifully designed flour-sack tea towels, bring color, scent, and natural warmth to the marketplace. Everything she makes feels like it came straight from the heart of a gardener. I already have her dish soap block poured in a smart glass dish on my shopping list.
Skyliner Studio
Skyliner Studio brings pure happiness in printed form. Kristin’s hand-printed artwork is colorful, playful, and designed to empower, uplift, and make you smile. Her screen-printed style is loose, cheerful, and handmade in the most authentic way. It’s impossible not to grin when you see her work.
Wild Edge Woodworking
If you love natural textures and functional beauty, you’ll adore Terry’s work at Wild Edge Woodworking. Her live-edge tables, cutting boards, and resin pieces are truly stunning — she transforms fallen trees into heirloom-quality art and home goods. Rustic charm meets modern craftsmanship, and the results are amazing.
Kristi Abbott
Kristi Abbott is a collage artist whose work is bursting with color, texture, and stories. Her layered mixed-media pieces include hundreds (sometimes thousands!) of elements and feature influences from pop culture, fashion, and her travels. Her art adds energy and personality to the shop, and each piece feels alive.
iE Designs STP
Erin brings thoughtfully designed, artisan-made bags, purses, and pouches to the space. Her work rounds out the marketplace with creativity and style, and we’re delighted to share shelf space with these beautifully crafted items. I was able to preview her goodies -- they are so unique and well-made!
And then… Zoopitee Herbals!
I’m so honored to bring my dandelion-powered, eco-friendly deodorants and underarm detoxes to the marketplace. You’ll find them packaged in reusable containers and a mission rooted in natural yards, biodiversity, and joyful self-care.
Being included in this collective is humbling and exciting. I’m grateful to be part of a space that celebrates makers, community, and creativity in such a beautiful way.
