About

Some stories stay with us long after we've turned the final page.

​

They become conversations over coffee. Gatherings around the table. Gifts shared with friends. They find their way into the routines and traditions that make a house feel like home.

​

Threadtree was born from the belief that stories deserve to live beyond the page.

​

As both a lifelong maker and an avid reader, I found myself drawn to worlds that, somehow, belonged together. One is built from imagination, characters, and unforgettable stories. The others are wonderfully tangible—hardwood and hand tools, fabric and ink, and the quiet satisfaction of making something useful that carries a little personality with it.

​

Threadtree is where those worlds meet.

​

The wood side of Threadtree begins with thoughtfully chosen hardwood, sourced whenever possible from local sawyers throughout Maine and New England. I don't choose wood simply because it's beautiful—I choose it because every species has its own character. Rich walnut, warm cherry, bright maple, vibrant padauk, and striking purpleheart each tell a different story before a single cut is ever made.

​

The thread side grew from the same idea: the things we use

every day should still feel like us.

​

Totes, aprons, apparel, and other reader goods carry original Threadtree designs created for people who take their stories with them—to the bookstore, the kitchen, the coffee shop, the market, and everywhere in between. Sometimes they're bookish. Sometimes they're dry, understated, or a little cheeky. Always, they're meant to feel at home alongside the handcrafted pieces that started Threadtree.

​

That philosophy carries through everything I create.

​

Whether it's a board inspired by a favorite reading ritual, a tote headed out on a bookstore run, a handcrafted gift shared around the table, or a licensed collection celebrating beloved characters, every piece is designed to become part of someone's story—not simply another object they own.

​

I also believe good materials deserve respect.

​

In the woodshop, offcuts from larger projects often become bookmarks, ornaments, small gifts, or future designs. It's a simple way of honoring the tree that provided the wood and making sure as little as possible goes to waste.

​

When you bring a Threadtree piece into your home—or take one out into

the world—you're not just choosing something because it's useful.

​

You're inviting a story to continue.

​

Whether it's shared over charcuterie with friends, carried home full of books and snacks, worn while making something delicious, gifted to a fellow reader, or quietly accompanying your morning coffee and current read, I hope it becomes part of moments worth remembering.

​

Thank you for visiting my workshop and allowing me to share a small part of my story with yours.
