The air here in Superior, Montana, is buzzing with excitement (and maybe a little bit of nervous energy!). After weeks of crafting, curing, and creating, we're thrilled to announce a huge milestone for Mellen Patch Soaps: our very first showing at the incredible Missoula Makers Market next Thursday!This isn't just any market for us; it's a dream coming to life, and let me tell you, getting ready has been an adventure in itself!

The Great Nissan Versa Pack-Up Challenge!

You know that feeling when you're preparing for a big event? Well, for small business owners like us, "preparation" often involves a logistical puzzle! This past weekend was dedicated to the ultimate dry run: setting up our entire market tent and arranging all our beloved handmade products, just to see if it would all fit into our trusty (and small!) Nissan Versa.And guess what? Success! 🎉 It was a masterclass in Tetris, but every beautifully crafted bar of Montana Series soap, every jar of exfoliating sugar scrub, every bottle of natural body oil, and even our newest herbal salve and foot cream found its perfect place. We're talking bear tallow soaps, coconut milk soaps, luscious bath bombs, and so much more – all packed meticulously to make the journey from Superior to Downtown Missoula.This behind-the-scenes peek into our market prep highlights the dedication (and sometimes comical challenges!) that go into bringing you genuine handmade quality.

What to Expect at Our Booth Next Thursday!

We've been busy stockpiling some of your favorites and a few new surprises just for this market! You'll find: 

• Our popular Montana Series Soaps like the forest-fresh "Mountain Air" and the serene "River Runs By" (yes, that's bear tallow goodness!).
• Deliciously scented Sugar Scrubs like Watermelon and Lemon Meringue, perfect for that summer glow.
• Our amazing Body & Bath Oils – "sunshine in a bottle" with natural oils and many scents.
• Whipped Shave Soap for an incredibly close and moisturizing shave.
• And, of course, our fun, fizzy Bath Bombs (yes, including "Unicorn Poop"!).

We're so proud to be joining the vibrant community of local artisans at the Missoula Makers Market. It's an incredible opportunity to connect with you, share the passion behind our handmade soaps and natural skincare products, and support the Missoula local economy.
