Seaside Signal
In celebration of the Prom
centennial, the Sunset Empire
Park and Recreation District
hosted a chalk art contest on
the Seaside Promenade.
Portland artists Bev Cor-
dova and May Wallace
off ered a class in chalk art last
Friday at the Sunset Recre-
ation Center, providing con-
testants with a chance to learn
how to create chalk art using
pastels.
On Saturday, contes-
tants created art on the Sea-
side Prom between Ocean
Way and First Avenue. The
event was open to patrons of
all ages and skill levels, and
included 21 participants from
age 6 to 73.
A panel of judges includ-
ing Mayor Jay Barber and
library
director
Esther
Moberg chose the winning
entries. Visitors to the Prom

diff users for the home and
car. She’s been meticulous
about building up industry
knowledge through personal
research, taking classes and
fi nding mentors.
“Every day I invest in
learning and every day I
invest in getting better, and
that’s how (the business)
grew,” she said.
Production, distribution
Fenison also chalks up
the success of the soap and
candle company to the sup-
port she’s received from her
family. One of her sisters
was there at the start, helping
her run her fi rst shop from an

temporary lease in Cannon
Beach. That shop has since
moved to its new home on
North Hemlock Street.
Another sister, Anna Jen-
sen, now assists with produc-
tion so they can keep up with
the demand for the products
across the North Coast and
online — especially with the
addition of the Seaside loca-
tion. Fenison herself enjoys
being involved with each
aspect of the business, from
production to distribution.
“I really like the aspect
of selling what you make,
because you do have direct
interaction with your cus-
tomers, you can get a feel
for what they’re looking for
and what they need,” she
said. “That’s how a lot of
these products came about,
through customer relation-
ships and people that I know
looking for certain things.”
She credits her uncle with
encouraging to her to add
car fresheners to her inven-
tory. While her stock has
expanded, her care for the
details of each product has
not. She uses simple ingre-
dients and as few as possi-
ble while ensuring the prod-
ucts remain eff ective. She
sources clean fragrances
from reputable suppliers in
the United States. She makes
the candles from soy instead
of paraffi n wax, which is car-
cinogenic, and tries to incor-
porate green options, such
as biodegradable shrink
wrap and products without
packaging.
“We put a lot of thought
and care into the details that
go into this, because every
little bit counts,” she said.
In downtown Seaside,
she has not only found a
new access point to custom-
ers, but also a neighborhood
that feels welcoming and
supportive.
“I’m just so happy to be
here,” she said. “There are
a lot of really great people
that live and work here, too.
That’s what really makes
Seaside what it is.”

lot of toxic stuff on my skin,
which was aff ecting my
immune system and making
me have reactions.”
Her next step was to take
inventory of the supplies she
was using, and then cut out
what she could, or learn how
to make it herself with better
formulations and ingredients.
“You can’t avoid all toxic
exposure,” she said, but,
“Everything builds up in
your body, and it contributes
to your overall health.”
It started with bars of
soap, which are as beauti-
ful as they are cleansing. She
recalls mixing up her fi rst
batch in her kitchen and fall-
ing in love with the process
from the start.
“I realized how much fun
it was and how much artistic
scope you can put into it and
still have a good, clean, natu-
ral product,” she said.
She began sourcing her
soaps out to local boutique
shops but soon realized she
wanted to — and could —
sell it herself, especially with
her background in retail and
customer service.
Over time, she has
expanded her inventory to
include a myriad of other
personal care and wellness
products, as well as candles,
