Woven Goods is run by Melissa - a lifelong resident of Cortes Island, where the rhythms of the forest, lagoon, and seasons have shaped her creative work from an early age. Known for wearing many hats, Melissa moves effortlessly between roles: candle dipper, maker, small-business owner, and host of a cozy lagoon-side BnB at Manson’s Landing.

Her work is rooted in care and intention. Every candle she dips, every piece she sources, and every detail she curates reflects her love for beauty, simplicity, and the quiet comfort of well-made things. Woven Goods is her way of sharing that island warmth - thoughtful goods made slowly, with heart.

Beyond her craft, Melissa is a devoted mother to three bright, clever children who inspire her daily. Her life on Cortes is a blend of creativity, community, and family, and she brings those values into every corner of her work.

Through Woven Goods, Melissa invites others to experience a small piece of the coziness she cultivates - meaningful, beautiful goods made to be lived with and loved.

Thank you for being here.
