Taking a minute to reflect on how far Gladstone grew this year 🌶️
2025 Highlights:
*Launched our 4th SKU, The Mariner. Label love @made.creativeco and collaboration with @marinerbeer
→ Started as a limited drop
→ Loved so much, it’s officially staying
*Rolled out a full rebrand
→ New look
→ New website
*Showed up big at markets, tradeshows & events like @picklefestcanada , @tradexbc , @fvwomensexpo , @makeitshow , @langleyfarmmkt
*featured on global news with @tearsofjoyhotsauceexpo
*Entered our first multi-store grocery chain: Fresh St. Market 🛒
Every step mattered. Every bottle told the story.
2026 = growth, More stores, More opportunities, More heat
Thanks for being part of the Gladstone ride, we’re just getting started. ❤️🔥
In 2026, I’m working on many new projects—not only Sculptures with Light.
I won’t say too much yet, because some things are meant to stay a surprise.
But I truly hope you come visit me at one of the art festivals or markets this year,
so you can see the new pieces and new ideas I’ve been developing for this next chapter. ✨
And thanks to my partner @mujer_naranja for the continuous support this year!

2025 was one for the books 🎉
From big milestones to bigger
dreams, this year pushed OG Ghee further than we ever imagined. Getting onto shelves at Loblaws locations across Canada and launching our Costco trial were huge moments for us and we’re just getting started.
To everyone who supported us this year, our retailers, partners, creators, friends, family, and customers, thank you. Truly. We couldn’t do this without you. ❤️
Here’s to everything we built in 2025 and all the good things cooking ahead.
Happy New Year! Here’s to making 2026 even better ✨

A huge thank-you to everyone who came by the @makeitshow this month!
Make It is the event that feels like a reunion to me. I look forward to it all year, and it never disappoints🫶
I want to thank Jenna, Orson, and the entire team for always putting on a seamless show (there is so much that goes on behind the scenes, every detail is so appreciated!)
A huge thank-you to my friends @kerfoots@vanessa.bucceri@michellecarrington_offline for helping me out!
Thanks to @elizatrendiak for the laughs, and the bubbles 🫧
And to Kyle @unimpressedscreenprinting , who came for balloon support🎈
And finally to our community: none of this would be possible without you. Thank-you to everyone who came to the show, stopped to chat, shared a hug and a laugh🫶 I’m so grateful.
I forgot to make a post!!!🥴
I had a great time at the @makeitshow this past Saturday! My human and I went to support PADS and a ton of small businesses that were there! Hanging out at the booth with my bestie Taj was so much fun, but I really loved meeting everyone inside the show.
My human spoiled me and I got to try some yummy treats, and even got two bow ties for when I need to look fancy!🎩

Still feeling all the love from the Make-It Vancouver weekend ✨
Being in Booth #1 meant I got to say hello to everyone as they walked through the doors — truly one of my favourite spots to be. I loved reconnecting with returning customers who were excited to see me again, meeting new folks discovering my sustainable clothing for the first time, and continuing to build those relationships that make market weekends so special.
Some standout moments: Sarah coming back wearing the shirt she’d just bought just to tell me how much she loved it 🥰, a queer comedian who picked up some art cards and shared how chatting with vendors reignited her creative spark, and seeing Nicole again after she bought a shirt from me at the Whistler Farmers Market — this time choosing a second one, gifted by her partner Carly 💛
It was also such a joy spending time with fellow makers and friends from the Whistler Farmers Market: Hollow Tree, Lazy Maisie, Re-Creation, Rock the Feather, Designs by Sally, Green River Leather, Jaclotworks, Holly Mitchell, Steffi Lai, House of Comune, Frostbites, Bobali Hummus and Lemon Square, and meeting new vendors like Everyware Recycled. Encouraging one another, even when we’re in the same category, is one of the best parts of this community.
So grateful for the people, the conversations, and the connection. This is why I do markets 💫

Make It Show 🤍
What a joy this weekend was.
So many laughs.
So many beautiful conversations.
Tears. Stories. Deep moments with total strangers that didn’t feel like strangers at all.
Thank you to every single person who stopped by, tried the creams, shared a piece of their life, hugged me, laughed with me, or trusted me with their skin. Thank you to the makers beside me — the energy, the kindness, the camaraderie was something special.
These shows are never just about selling. They’re about connection. About remembering we’re human together. About leaving a little more full than when we arrived.
I headed home tired, grateful, and so full-hearted.
What a gift this was 🤍
And to my fellow coasters that were there - we live on the most magical coast full of the best artisans & it was such a joy to be at Make It with you.
👋🏼 I MET A HEDGEHOG! 😍 That totally made my weekend! 😁 + roaming around, meeting local crafts entrepreneurs & their products IRL is always a good day 🙌🏼 #makeitshow
