  • OUR STORY

    This all began with a desire to create something that matters—something that could help others feel more grounded, more joyful, more connected.

    For five years, I (the daughter part of this trio) worked at a local retreat center, walking alongside people who came seeking space to slow down, reflect, and grow. As the administrative assistant turned operations manager, I poured my heart into everything from guest experience to refreshing the gift shop—and over time, the results were incredible: a 61% increase in bookings, a revived gift shop that finally turned a profit, and a deeper sense of purpose in every corner. During that time, I stocked the shop with handheld labyrinths from a wholesaler—beautiful, meditative tools our guests loved. But not long after I left, the supplier’s prices rose too high to sustain. That’s when my mom had an idea that would shape everything: Why not have Dad make them instead?

    That single idea sparked our journey into labyrinth-making. What began as a solution quickly grew into a calling. Dad took to his tools, blending spiritual tradition with handmade craftsmanship, and we realized we weren’t just replacing a product—we were creating something meaningful, from our hands to others’ hearts.

    And that’s how this business was born—with love, intention, and a shared desire to keep the spirit of soulful connection alive.

    And it became even more special because my parents joined me.

Meet the Makers

  • Laurie, co owner of The Craft Mills testing against a fence among trees

    🌸 Mom

    Laurie brings our floral creations to life with a natural eye for color and balance—a gift she inherited from her own mother, who taught her the art of arranging flowers and embracing creativity in everyday moments. When her mom passed unexpectedly, it marked a difficult chapter, but also became the beginning of her rediscovery. She stepped into new purpose while working alongside me at the retreat center, where she reconnected with her creativity and confidence. Today, every floral piece she makes is rooted in that journey—equal parts beauty, memory, and becoming.

  • Marissa, owner of The Craft Mills standing in front of a fence among pine trees

    🪄 Marissa

    I lead our family business, crafting everything from floral designs to polymer clay pieces that inspire peace and connection. My journey has been shaped by my background in hospitality, where I learned the power of creating meaningful spaces for others. Though I face challenges like anxiety and self-doubt, they’ve only strengthened my passion for what we do here. I’m committed to creating with intention and sharing the beauty of our work with others. I do this not just for myself, but to show my daughter the importance of perseverance, passion, and growing through every step.

  • Jim, master craftsman at The Craft Mills standing in front of evergreen trees

    🪵 Dad

    Jim is the steady hand behind our handcrafted wooden labyrinths. A lifelong maker at heart, he first found his love for woodworking alongside his own father and brothers—hours spent in the garage learning, experimenting, and building things just to see if they could be done. Professionally, he spent decades in the plastics industry, climbing the ladder while holding firm to his standards for quality and precision. Now, in the shop, he gets to return to those roots: building with purpose, care, and craftsmanship that lasts.

WHY WE DO THIS

  • Because we believe calm should be a part of everyday life.
  • Because small moments of beauty can make a big impact.
  • Because joy multiplies when shared.
  • And because creativity has always been our family’s quiet superpower.

This business isn’t just about what we make—it’s about what we hope you feel when you hold it.
