Thanksgiving Weekend in Ontario: A Time to Be Thankful

As Thanksgiving weekend in Ontario comes to a end, it's a moment to pause, reflect, and truly appreciate all the blessings in our lives. For me, this weekend is not just about gathering around a dinner table with loved ones; it’s about expressing gratitude to the community that has supported my soap-making journey year-round.

2024 has been a year filled with both challenges and growth, and through it all, I’ve been reminded of how much your support means to small businesses like mine. Each time you choose handmade, natural products, you’re helping to keep a dream alive. From the bottom of my heart, I want to thank you for allowing me to do what I love every day.

At Fosters Fields, every bar of soap, every candle, every new creation is a labor of love—crafted with care to bring a little bit of joy, comfort, and luxury into your home. Whether you’ve purchased a product, shared my story, or simply offered words of encouragement, your support has made a world of difference. I truly couldn’t do this without you, and for that, I am so grateful.

While Thanksgiving is a time to reflect, it’s also a reminder that appreciation and support for small, local businesses go beyond just one weekend. The decisions you make throughout the year have a lasting impact on the people behind the products you love.

I am so fortunate to be part of a community that values craftsmanship, sustainability, and quality. When you choose to support local, it’s more than just a transaction—it’s an investment in a shared vision for a better, more connected world.

Thank you for standing by me, not just during the busy holiday season, but every single day.

Small businesses like mine are fueled by community. From sourcing natural ingredients to perfecting the recipes that make your skin feel incredible, it’s the relationships and connections we’ve built with our customers that inspire us to keep going.

This Thanksgiving, I want to take the time to acknowledge how much these relationships mean to me. Supporting local is about more than just shopping; it’s about sharing values, creating memories, and being part of something meaningful.

Your loyalty allows me to continue creating the handmade, high-quality products that reflect both nature and the care that goes into every step of the process. Knowing that my soaps and candles are being enjoyed by families across Ontario fills me with pride and deep gratitude.

Thanksgiving is the perfect time to express how much your support means, but please know that my gratitude extends far beyond this weekend. Every day, I am thankful for the opportunity to do what I love and to share it with such a wonderful community. Whether it’s the soap you use in the morning or the candle you light to relax at night, I hope my products bring a little extra warmth and happiness into your life.

Thank you for being part of the Fosters Fields family, for supporting small businesses, and for choosing handmade, natural products that are crafted with care. This Thanksgiving, I’m raising a glass (or maybe a bar of soap!) to each and every one of you.

Here’s to a season of gratitude and appreciation, and to many more years of making something special, together.

Happy Thanksgiving from my family to yours.

Carrie, Steve, Hayley, Leah & Owen
