Herban Lifestyle - Opening Day, April 29th!

With the goal of making the world a happier, healthier, better-smelling place, Herban Lifestyle cooks up products from the highest-quality, healthiest ingredients available, then wraps them in beautiful, earth-friendly packaging.

All Herban Lifestyle products are handcrafted in small batches in Falls Church, VA. With a selection of soaps, sugar scrubs, sumptuous body butters, lip cremes and men’s grooming products, you better head over to SPARKET on Wednesday, April 29th to coop up your own!

Throwing Shop - Opening Day, April 29th!

Handcrafted pottery that is both functional and decorative? Yes, please. Pottery from Throwing Shop is all handcrafted by Marie Kennedy and created with entertaining, gift-giving and the handmade life in mind.

Kennedy's pottery incorporates geometric lines, hand carving and lots of swirls. Each piece is unique so you can cherish the imperfections found in handcrafted pottery, as organic shapes are small reminders of the hand that made the work.

Consider making this the year that you enhance your life with handmade pottery. And get it at SPARKET this season starting April 29th!
