Penny’s of Blyth

Penny’s of Blyth has quickly become a favourite stop for visitors to the village of Blyth as well as locals since opening her doors on main street in 2022. Owner Penny personally curates every product offered in the store, which is comprised entirely of artisanal Canadian goods, mostly from artisans and makers that are local to the area. Penny’s carries a variety of unique home goods, decor, bath and body products, fresh and frozen gourmet foods, baby supplies, jewelry, accessories, and more. Penny has even worked with a local culinary salt producer and fine herbs grower to produce a custom line of seasoning salts. 

Penny is also excited to present a new line of bath and body products she has created with her business partner, Kelly. Penny (who is Kelly’s mom) and Kelly have created Wilkes & Hicks, named in honour of beloved great-grandparents, which features soy wax candles, lip balms, bath butters, and shower steamers in luxurious scents like Cashmere & Driftwood, Oakmoss & Amber, Pear & Moonflower and more. 

Wilkes & Hicks also offers candle making workshops at Penny’s, in a specialized laboratory room that can host workshops for up to 8 people. Participants can each choose a custom scent profile for their candle, which they will make in a gorgeous Wilkes & Hicks tin with a custom label. Candle making workshops are typically held on Fridays at 6pm and Saturdays at 11am by appointment only, however workshops can be accommodated at other times by contacting Penny. Penny says that many different types of groups have enjoyed the workshops: families, friends, couples, coworkers, organizations and clubs. 

Wilkes & Hicks is happy to work with engaged couples to create a signature scent to feature at their wedding events, and to create custom candle favours for any special occasion. 

Penny’s of Blyth is a proud woman-owned business, and Wilkes & Hicks is a proud queer and women-owned business. Penny’s should definitely be added to your next itinerary!
