Thank you, 2025

Thank you, 2025 🪩! And what a year it was. We celebrated our third year in this incredible community and got to truly spread our wings in ways we had only just imagined. Not only did we travel from St. Paul to Minneapolis for markets, parades, and the candle bar - but we have now spread across the country through The Mustache Cat Made wholesale. Taking the leap never felt so good.

Our community makes us who we are! From old friends to new friends, to being able to give back to the organizations that keep our community strong, we are so incredibly grateful that you keep showing up every year. in 2025, we joined the Grand Ol’ Day parade for the 2nd year in a row, celebrated the 4th annual Vintage Fall Crawl - with the edition of a trolley, set up shop at the Dayton’s Market downtown AND at the Southdale Mall, leaned into small business pride with Saint Small, and got to try our hand at hosting book club.

I’m also so grateful for the opportunity to showcase the awesome products and sustainable ways to use them, and to also shout out our fellow small business owners through press visits, markets, and ESPECIALLY the scarecrow contest at the Minnesota State Fair - where we placed 4th this year!!

One of the most exciting accomplishments of this year would have to be the growth of The Mustache Cat Made through the making of our own products - by living our motto of “making something new out of cool old stuff.” After your encouragement and appreciation for these new products, we launched our wholesale website. With hours of R&D, perfecting the use of the drill press, and packages after packages shipped out, we have officially spread to every corner of the United States. We can’t wait to show you all the things we are cooking up!

There is no way to fully thank you for all the love and support you have shown our little shop this year. Here’s to another incredible year of shopping small, living sustainably, and showing up for our community through the thick and the thin. Cheers to 2026! 🧡
