Thistle + Ember

Thistle + Ember Homemade decor + candles, natural bath + body products, design + event coordination I love everything about it! I became excellent at it. Established in 2014.

Allium + Thistle is top rated & award winning small business that not only creates local, recycled, repurposed gifts and decor using pure and sustainable ingredients, we are also a full service event planning, design & coordination company. Ever since I was a little girl, I've been enthralled with "making & creating". As a young adult, I took all the time I could to "make and create" regularly. No

w, it is second nature; it is ingrained into the threads of my existence. Making my living "creating" is definitely a dream come true. When I succeed, my flights of fancy come alive in people's hearts and minds through my art. My company has been through alot of changes in the market, through the pandemic and through financial ups and downs, but I have always weathered though never came out unscathed. I have been making, creating gifts and throwing parties for friends, family for over 20 years but in 2014, I decided to share myself with the world. I love what I do, I treasure what I create. Today's version of my company is different than it was 10 years ago and even 5 years ago. but never have I never stopped creating, I never lost faith in my people, my clients, by business, I love you all and I value that you all believe in me and my mission! I have 7 amazing kids, from adults to toddlers. We are an active, creative, outgoing and fun family! We like to spend our days in nature or surrounded by culture. We love to hike, see festivals, see as many live performances as we can and travel every second possible.

Just finalized a complete rework of all my formulas, and I’m gearing up to bring a whole new lineup of ingredients and scents to life! Over the next two months, I’ll be crafting fresh batches in preparation for my spring launch.

January and February might seem quiet, but behind the scenes, it’s full steam ahead—testing, perfecting, and preparing for the big stock-up after the holiday rush. This year, we’re not just replenishing—we’re expanding. Our skin & body care line is evolving, and I can’t wait to share the results with you in March & April!

📚Just spiced up my bookshelf—literally. This vintage Westwood Products spice set from Japan is giving major 'library meets kitchen' vibes. Six little ceramic 'books' full of flavor, tucked into their own teeny-tiny spice shelf? I’m obsessed. If Belle from Beauty and the Beast had a pantry, this would be front and center. And guess what? This adorable set is for sale at my spot inside Blue Iris Vintage in Duvall! Come snag it before someone else checks it out! Can’t make it in person? DM me to arrange purchase and shipping. #BookishFind #SpicyReads #VintageVibes #ShelfGoals #BookLoversUnite #MiniLibraryMagic #WestwoodProducts #VintageSpiceRack #KitchenAesthetic #CottagecoreKitchen #HomeLibraryStyle #BlueIrisVintage #DuvallVintage #ForSaleNow #OneOfAKindFind

The new year is here, and I can’t help but look back—not just at the highs but at the battles I never expected to fight. There were days I wasn’t sure I’d make it, nights that felt impossibly heavy, and moments I doubted my own strength. But I’m still here. And so are you. We’ve carried so much, more than anyone could see. We’ve grown through the cracks, held on when it felt impossible, and somehow, we’ve made it to today. That’s no small thing—it’s everything. So, as we step into this new year, let’s take a moment to honor the resilience it took to get here. The struggles didn’t break us; they shaped us. And while we don’t know what lies ahead, we’ve proven that we have what it takes to keep going. Here’s to a year of growth, healing, and peace. One step at a time, one day at a time—we’ve got this. #NewYearHope #StrongerThanYesterday #Welcome2025
