Our upstairs room will be a warm and relaxed space for a small group to experience a sound therapy session. If you've never tried this before, it is a relaxing meditation that will help you feel calm and grounded. Start with a warm mug of tea, settle into your personal space (bring a mat and a blanket and/or pillow), then enjoy the singing bowls for about an hour. Let us know if you have any questions 🙏

Need a midweek reset? 💆‍♀️

Come chill with me at Gnat and Bee in Loudonville this Thursday for a cozy cup of tea and a dreamy sound bath surrounded by good vibes, cozy blankets, and the magic of sound. ✨
Leave the stress behind and float into the weekend feeling lighter, calmer, and totally refreshed. 🌙

Bring a yoga mat, blanket, pillow, and anything else that makes you extra cozy. 😊

Space is limited, grab your spot soon!

Thank you Gnat and Bee for adding an extra special touch to our personalized mugs for our wave of light event. Each mom was able to take home a sample of this locally produced, loose-leaf tea called ✨Embrace🫶.

Providing grief support, comfort and remembrance is near and dear to us at Forget-Me-Not Baskets. This was a perfect fit. 🥰

Thank you sweet Gnat & Bee friends and family for all the support you've shown us this past year and long before. This month marks our one year anniversary at our cozy shop in downtown Loudonville. The picture above was from our grand opening and ribbon cutting on Oct. 9th of last year.

This building has allowed us a storefront space to share our products with you, an opportunity to say hello to you in person every week, room to host some very special classes and workshops, and the space we needed to spread our wings as we continue to craft our creations. We have so enjoyed the momentum of our brick and mortar shop, and being a part of the vibrant downtown Loudonville energy and community.

The sweet smells of spiced teas and fragrant oils spill onto the bustling sidewalk every time we hear the front door bell jingle with another visitor, and we know it will be another opportunity to meet with one or our dear friends and customers, or say hello to someone new.

If you are close enough to make the drive to us here in Loudonville, Ohio, we will be hosting a special event to mark our first year shop-iversary:

Whether you join us in person, or celebrate this milestone with us from afar, we so appreciate your patronage and shared love of what we create and cultivate at Gnat & Bee.

We are forever grateful,

Natalie + Gnat & Bee
