We caught up with Michelle and asked her a few questions about her handmade purses, journals, and stylish accesories, and her experiences so far working with TAG. Here's what she said:
- Tell us a little bit about your shoppe. I create handcrafted purses and everyday accessories to keep you organized and stylish at the same time.
- What is your favorite piece in your shoppe and why? I love the pleated clutch because it is so versatile. You can remove the bow for a new look or add a new bow for a different look. It goes well for nearly any event and is the perfect size!
- When you're not handcrafting your chic purses and journals, what are your hobbies? I love to organize anything. I also love to watch drama and suspense movies and to cook and decorate for the holidays.
- What do you like best about The Artisan Group? I love the community feeling in The Artisan Group. I finally feel like I have found a group of friends and peers that can help me with a common question or just to bounce ideas around with. I love the support from Valerie & Nikki and their professional advice is the best ever. It's amazing how much help we get from you both. I love, love, love it! Thank you!

We caught up with Michelle and asked her a few questions about her organic health products, and her experiences so far working with TAG. Here's what she said:
- Tell us a little bit about your shoppe. I help you make natural, greener choices in the products you choose for health and wellness, pre- and post-partum healing, skin care and baby care. My products are handmade, using only pure and organic essential oils and raw ingredients. All products are cruelty-free and do not contain synthetic fragrances, parabens, petrochemicals or preservatives. My product lines include: Aromatherapeutic, Mother & Child, Skin Care and Gift Sets. I offer alternatives to conventional treatment of common ailments, safe products for pregnancy and beyond, and skin care in its natural state.
- What is your favorite product in your shoppe and why? I have two actually. My lip balms are very moisturizing and the best you can buy, sorry Burt. They're toxin-free and don't contain phenols, which strip the top layer of your lips. My Cold & Sinus essential oil blend is one of the most used products in our house. Especially since school has begun again. It's versatile in its many possible applications of use.
- When you're not creating organic therapeutic products, what are your hobbies? I'm with Tina, what hobby? This is my hobby and as my husband would agree, I need to get one, which is not my business. I do read daily and love walking in forests. I'm loving autumn in Ontario and the leaves changing colour.
- What do you like best about The Artisan Group? This group is so supportive and are always willing to help with any questions one may have or give honest feedback. Even though we don't really 'know' each other, many in the group have become great friends and know that there is always someone there to listen or help.
