Valentine's Day Popup Shop at Icing on the Cake
We were recently invited to open a popup shop for Valentine's Day, last Sunday, in a wonderful local woman-owned business, the Icing on the Cake cupcake place in downtown Bellingham. As it turned out, the weekend was marked by a rare appearance of snow, so the afternoon was quiet and serene, with few people venturing out for treats, unfortunately—everything I've tasted from this place is amazing!
Vivian's company was delightful (the lovely person shown in the photo above); we made a couple of sales, despite the weather; and we look forward to returning to the shop in a couple of weeks, and regularly in the seasons to come. We'll announce the dates here as they approach, and we hope you'll come and visit if you're nearby!


Icing on the Cake—on a sunny day
From all of us at Em’s Herbals, we’re wishing you a peaceful and nourishing Winter Solstice. Today marks the longest night of the year. The sun reaches the deepest part of winter’s tunnel, and from here, it begins its slow and steady return. Longer days are ahead, and with them, a quiet promise of renewal, growth, and spring to come.
Our Winter Nourish Collection was created with this season in mind. It features a thoughtfully selected group of certified organic herbs that herbalists have long turned to during the colder months — for grounding, digestion, resilience, calm, and overall balance.
At Em’s Herbals, we have a deep appreciation for plants that not only support wellness but also remind us of nature’s quiet brilliance — and St. John’s Wort is one of those truly special herbs.
