Who knows the secret to why Sunday Morning is soooooo good? It’s scent balance! Beautiful orchid and fresh sea salt are yin and yang — opposites that come together to create pure magic ✨ Have you tried this one?

It’s that time of year when shadows and light become palpable, and you begin the long goodbye to summer.

Love Letter, the scent formerly known as Devotion, needed a new name and a spot in our permanent collection, but it did not need an orange cat creeping in on picture day. Exotic teakwood is soft, sweet, beautiful, and tempting, like the love letter you’ve tucked away for a rainy day.

My all-time favorite question.

Excited and honored to have been asked to be part of this incredible new collective at Her Story on Hertel Ave. 💛

✨35 Years Rooted in Story ✨

This year marks 35 years since we first opened our doors — and our hearts — to women’s stories.

From the very beginning, HER Story has been about more than just shopping. It’s been about honoring the hands that make, the hearts that create, and the stories that shape us.

And while so much has evolved, our roots remain the same: a deep belief in women, in their creativity, and in the power of products with purpose.

Now, we’re turning the page — and staying grounded in those roots — with the launch of the HER Story Collective.

This is the next evolution of our space:
Curated mini shops within HER Story, dedicated to women-owned brands who share our soul — thoughtful, intentional, and rooted in story.

It’s a space where mission meets making. Where everything you find is crafted with care, and every brand is built by a woman with a story worth telling.

Women we admire. Women who inspire us. Women were proud to stand beside.

We can’t wait to welcome you into this next chapter — one that’s not so much a reinvention as it is a return. A deeper rooting into everything HER Story has always been about.

Golden hour.

Since you have the choice to be anything at all, be the light.

It must be Sunday Morning for you guys every single day because I cannot seem to keep this one in stock. Sea salt + orchid is fresh and magical — a soft and lovely choice for spring.

The perfect spring trio for super sunny skies.

It’s a spring thing 🪴 Plant Lady is a longtime customer favorite and I always include it in the spring lineup! Green floral & jade is fresh and light, yet balanced with a hint of springtime earthiness.

Nothing says 716 like a blanket of snow in the Southtowns and a dusting in the Northtowns. Buffalo Winter has long been one of your favorites, but sadly it’s in limited supply! This will be its last year since one of the oils used to make has been discontinued. I’ll have the last of these with me at this Sunday at 🍻Currant and clove (along with a few other wintry spices) is an iconic holiday blend that smells deep, dreamy, and warm on a below-zero day like today.

…to sincerely thank the Buffalo community who comes out like no other to support its artists and makers.

Thank you for showing up for us on Small Business Weekend, our biggest and baddest weekend of the year. We love the support and we love seeing your faces, old and new.

We work so hard all year — in our free time; in workspaces we can barely afford; in small spaces within our homes; in shared spaces with other artists; after our regular jobs; on days off; on weekends; and whenever we can to pursue dreams and passion projects that too-often don’t create full-time incomes.

Sincere thanks to everyone who purchased candles from me at Makers + Shakers and at Spruce this weekend. Your support makes a huge difference and I truly appreciate you.

I have only participated in a few markets since my cancer treatment, and this weekend finally felt like fun again. I felt like part of something instead of someone on the sidelines. Thank you, sincerely.

To my fellow artisans and friends at the market this weekend, it was uplifting to re-connect; thank you for giving me a place to belong again.

The holiday season is short and there are so many great markets and events still to come. Grab your friends and grab some incredible, locally made gifts and treats for everyone on your list 💛

With huge gratitude,
Jennifer
