“WE’VE BEEN ACCEPTED!”

“WE’RE MOVING INTO UNDER THE YELLOW UMBRELLA!”

✨ OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT ✨

Oily Escapades has officially been accepted into Under the Yellow Umbrella in the historic cobblestone district of St. Charles!! 💛☂️🫧

I am beyond honored (and honestly still shocked) to become part of a shop filled with incredible handmade artists, makers, and small businesses.

If you’ve never been there before, it’s like stepping into a real-life Etsy dream.
Creative. Charming. Inspiring.
And now… Oily Escapades will officially be part of it beginning June 1st!! 😭✨

This opportunity means more than I can possibly put into words. Thank you to every single person who has supported this little soap business along the way. Every order, share, comment, market visit, and encouragement helped make moments like this possible.

If you’re visiting historic St. Charles this summer — come find us under the yellow umbrella. ☂️💛

Sometimes small businesses get BIG moments.

I got the email…
read it three times…
and immediately ugly cried. 😭🫧

As a small handmade business owner, moments like this mean EVERYTHING.

To know someone saw value in my little soap company enough to invite it into a beautiful retail space? That hits differently.

And the best part?
This isn’t just any shop.
It’s the kind of place where creativity, artistry, and small businesses are celebrated every single day.

If you’ve ever walked into a store and thought:
“I want EVERYTHING in here…”

…it’s THAT kind of place. ✨

Official announcement coming soon!!

✨ BIG things are happening behind the scenes at Oily Escapades… and I’ve been bursting at the seams trying to keep this secret.

Think:
✨ cobblestone streets
✨ adorable shops
✨ weekend strolls
✨ tourists
✨ handmade heaven

This opportunity feels like a dream I’ve quietly hoped for for a very long time… and I still can’t quite believe it’s real.

More details sooooon.
And trust me… this one is worth the wait. 💛☂️
