Introducing The Midwinter Archive — Limited Edition Winter Dusting Powders


To hold one is to keep a fragment of winter — a trace of balsam, a drift of linen, a whisper of hearth and pine.

To gather them is to collect the Archive itself, a stillroom apothecary of limited edition holiday powders — hand-filled, twine-tied, and meant for quiet ritual and remembering.

(from our Seasonal Woods & Weather Collection — featuring Pressed Balsam)

Each Blend Belongs to the Midwinter Archive

Powders finely milled in the quiet of the stillroom — folded with care and scented in step with the calm of winter.

Each edition is gathered by hand and marked by number, a fragment of balsam, linen, and light preserved for the season.

Available in:

  • Stoneware Crocks & Salton Jars — heirloom vessels meant for the dresser or daily ritual, wrapped in cloth and lace.
  • Heritage Refill Bottles — generous glass milk bottles refills for continuing the stillroom tradition.
  • Sample Envelopes & Travel Tins — simple parcels for discovery and gifting.

Every scent is part of the numbered Archive, accompanied by its story and field notes — a quiet record of winter to be kept, gifted, and remembered.

From the Midwinter Stillroom

The Work of the Stillroom


Each piece begins by hand — powders milled, puffs crocheted, labels tied and trimmed in the stillroom’s winter light.

Nothing hurried, only the quiet rhythm of making.


The Ritual


A dusting for the skin, a scent for linens, a small comfort for cold mornings.

Talc-free, naturally scented, and made for daily use through the season.


The Archive



Every vessel is numbered and gathered in the Midwinter Archive — a brief collection of winter calm, wrapped and offered in limited quantity.
