Botanical icon: Pine & Balsam Sprig· Collection: The Midwinter Archive · Limited Holiday Edition
Collected in Winter · Rooted in the Stillroom Tradition
A Dusting Powder for Cozy Rooms and Winter Light
Across old New England farmhouses, glass milk bottles once clinked against snowy porches at daybreak — clear glass catching pale winter light. Recovered over the years from antique shops, barn sales, and quiet shelves, these authentic vintage pint milk bottles now carry a generous 8.5 ounces of freshly milled Midwinter powder.
Each bottle is slightly different in shape and history, refilled in the modern Stillroom, they offer a way to keep your winter ritual going long after your crock, dish, or jar has been emptied.
Choose from Pressed Balsam (Field No. 231) or Winter Linen (Field No. 232) two scents gathered for the cold months, meant to be poured, gifted, or stored as the season turns.
Refillable, reusable, and meant to be kept — just like the milk bottles in old farmhouse cupboards.

About the Collection
The Midwinter Archive is a limited gathering of Stillroom pieces, vintage crocks, Salton jars, milk bottles, and powder dishes, sample powders, and silver tins; each filled or paired with seasonal Stillroom powders made only for this chapter.
Every scent, label, and Field Note card is part of a numbered release — collectible, giftable, and rooted in New England stillroom tradition.
To hold one is to keep a fragment of the season; to gather them is to collect the Archive itself.
