MY JOURNEY

Hi, my name is Melissa — and this is the Story behind my handcrafted walking sticks. My journey began unexpectedly during a visit to my aunt Becky and cousin Cindy in South Carolina. They had taken up the art of crafting walking sticks for friends and family, and I was immediately intrigued. I decided to give it a try, and from the moment I started working with wood, I was hooked.

What began as a casual creative experiment quickly turned into a heartfelt passion. Now based in the beautiful mountains of Northeast Pennsylvania, I handcraft each walking stick with care, creativity, and a deep appreciation for nature. I work with a variety of wood types, each with its own character, texture, and grain, allowing every piece to have its own unique story.

My walking sticks are more than just functional tools — they’re personal, meaningful, and often deeply symbolic. Whether you're looking for a thoughtful gift, a hiking companion, or a decorative piece, each stick can be customized to reflect your personality, your journey, or a message you’d like to carry with you. Every walking stick is made with love, inspired by nature, and shaped by hand — from my workshop in Northeast Pennsylvania to your hands, wherever you are.

Thank you for being part of this journey. I look forward to creating something special for you.
Melissa ❤
