Meet the Vendors Joining Us for Vintage Christmas

By Sterling & Maple

The holiday season is upon us, and with it comes a new event here at Sterling & Maple; our Vintage Christmas Shopping Event. We have transformed the design house into a festive haven filled with twinkling lights, nostalgic décor, and the comforting aroma of holiday treats. It’s more than just a shopping experience; it’s an evening that captures the spirit of the season with warmth, community, and connection.

This year, we’re thrilled to welcome a few beloved local partners who embody that same spirit. Together, they’ll help create an evening of simple joys and sensory delights. Read on to meet the wonderful vendors joining us for Vintage Christmas and discover what makes their craft so special.

Sweet Beginnings with Daly Apiary

There’s something undeniably magical about honey. Its golden glow, its smooth sweetness, and the care it takes to produce even a single jar. At this year’s Vintage Christmas event, guests will have the pleasure of meeting Daly Apiary, a local gem known for its commitment to sustainable beekeeping and extraordinary flavor.

During the evening, guests are invited to experience a delightful honey tasting featuring a variety of locally harvested flavors, each offering a glimpse into the landscape and season it came from. From delicate floral notes to rich, earthy undertones, every honey tells a story. Not only of the bees who crafted it, but of the blossoms and fields that surround our community.

The team at Daly Apiary will be on hand to guide guests through the tasting, sharing insights into the unique characteristics of each blend. You’ll learn how subtle differences in location and season create distinctive flavors and textures, and how a thriving beehive contributes to a healthier environment for us all.

Of course, no tasting would be complete without the chance to take a bit of that sweetness home. Fresh jars of honey will be available for purchase, perfect for holiday gifting or adding a natural touch of sweetness to your winter recipes. A jar of local honey also makes a thoughtful, artisanal addition to any hostess gift or holiday basket — a small luxury that brings nature’s craftsmanship right to your table.

As you savor the tasting, take a moment to appreciate the dedication behind each spoonful. Daly Apiary’s work reminds us that community and sustainability go hand in hand — and that supporting local makers helps preserve the traditions and flavors that make New England so special.

Homemade Comforts from Hubbard Farm

Nothing says “home for the holidays” quite like the smell of a freshly baked pie. This year, we’re delighted to welcome Hubbard Farm to our Vintage Christmas celebration, bringing with them the cozy charm of homemade baking and the comforting flavors of the season.

Guests will be treated to a cozy pie tasting featuring a selection of seasonal favorites baked fresh for the event. From buttery crusts to spiced fillings that capture the warmth of winter, every bite feels like a return to simpler times. When family recipes were shared, ovens stayed warm all day, and dessert was the centerpiece of every celebration.

At Hubbard Farm, baking is more than just a craft; it’s a tradition rooted in family and community. Their pies are made using time-honored methods and locally sourced ingredients whenever possible, ensuring that each one tastes like it came straight from a farmhouse kitchen. Whether you’re drawn to classic apple, velvety pumpkin, or rich pecan, you’ll find that every flavor is made with care, intention, and love.

Beyond the tasting, guests will have the opportunity to place custom pie orders to bring home for their own celebrations. Imagine serving a handcrafted pie at your holiday gathering baked by a local farm and filled with the same attention to detail and warmth you’d find in your grandmother’s kitchen. It’s a wonderful way to share a piece of the event with friends and family, and to keep those holiday flavors lingering long after the evening ends.

The team from Hubbard Farm will also be available to chat about their baking process, ingredient selection, and even share tips for those who love to create their own baked goods at home. Their presence adds a deliciously comforting touch to the event, a reminder that food has a unique way of bringing people together, especially during the holidays.

An Evening of Nostalgia, Warmth, and Community

Our goal with our Vintage Christmas Shopping Event is more than just about shopping. it’s about celebrating craftsmanship, connection, and community. Each vendor we invite reflects our belief in supporting local artisans who pour their hearts into what they create.

The evening will be filled with beautiful details that make the holiday season feel special. Guests can wander through the design house, sipping warm cider, enjoying holiday cookies, and exploring thoughtfully curated displays that blend vintage charm with timeless elegance. Every corner will be decked in greenery, soft lighting, and seasonal touches that capture the beauty of a nostalgic Christmas, the kind that feels both familiar and magical.

As you browse and taste, you’ll also have the chance to explore Sterling & Maple’s curated holiday collection, including home décor, gifts, and accessories inspired by the same vintage-inspired aesthetic that defines our design philosophy. Whether you’re searching for something special for your home or looking for a heartfelt gift, you’ll find pieces that are meant to last, treasures that celebrate craftsmanship and comfort.

We invite you to bring a friend (or a few!) and make an evening of it. Our team looks forward to welcoming you, sharing inspiration, and celebrating the season in style. Together, we’ll make this year’s Vintage Christmas an unforgettable night filled with laughter, nostalgia, and local flavor.

A Touch of Holiday Glow from Kitchensink Candle Company

While they’re not joining us as a vendor this year, we’re excited to share that Kitchensink Candle Company candles are available for purchase during the event. These hand-poured candles, crafted with care and artistry, have become a Sterling & Maple favorite for good reason. Their holiday scent collection featuring warm notes of pine, cinnamon, and vanilla adds the perfect finishing touch to any home this season.

Lighting one of their candles instantly fills a space with cozy ambiance and gentle fragrance, creating that sense of comfort and calm we all crave during the holidays. They also make wonderful gifts, elegant, locally made, and filled with heart.

If you’re shopping for a hostess gift, a stocking stuffer, or simply something to make your own home feel more festive, be sure to browse our display and find your new favorite scent. Kitchensink Candle Company embodies the same values we hold dear at Sterling & Maple: quality, authenticity, and a love for home.
