Ashland Artisans Emporium Featured Vendor: Goods

Goods by Nicolette features beautiful, handmade items to make you and your community feel good. Gorgeous, handcrafted air-plant terrariums, art journal and planner pouch travel bags, hand sewn embroidery, yoga bags, multi-functional zipper pouches, and adorable gifts are all crafted by Nicolette in a small studio in Ashland.

The mission of Goods is clear and simple: to make positive change through art and craft in local and global communities. When you purchase something for yourself or a gift for a friend, a portion of each sale goes to organizations that help do good in communities around the world. This season’s donations will be made to the Do It For The Love Foundation. This organization is designed to give once-in-a-lifetime musical experiences to those who need it most.

Thank you for supporting a woman-owned business, spreading the love, and doing more good!

Ashland Artisan Emporium

The Ashland Artisan Emporium is owned by Michelle Christian, wife and mother of 3 daughters. Her husband, Travis, is the business manager for Adroit Construction in Ashland, Oregon. The Emporium was the vision of Michael Rydbom, Michelle's father. In April of 2010, Michael asked his daughter if she would be willing to help transform the old DJ's Video space into a crafter's marketplace. Michelle had always admired her dad's entrepreneurial spirit and was eager to make him proud, so even though she already had two kids, a real estate career and one more daughter on the way, she said yes. On November 1, 2010, the store opened it's doors to a welcome reception from the community. They were voted Best New Business of 2010 only months later by the Ashland Sneak Preview. Within weeks of opening, the store was at capacity and had quickly become the "go-to" store for all things unique and affordable.
