Megan, the proprietor and candlemaker of Good + Well Supply Co., has been making beautiful and natural handmade goods for years. She got her start by founding a company making 100% natural soap using only essential oils and extracts drawn from the cultures and mythologies of the great civilizations of the ancient world. Inspired by blankets created by her great-grandmother, she also began her exploration of fiber arts, a family tradition for generations, creating heirloom quilts and heritage knitwear that would stand the test of time. Feeling the call of wanderlust, she gave away her soap business and launched a journey to rediscover the beauty and majesty of the American landscape. Living from her tent in national parks and public lands around the country, she inhaled the scents and sights experienced by the people of this continent for hundreds and thousands of years. Now located in the verdant Pacific Northwest, Megan has started Good + Well to pass on her love of this natural world to you. With a landscape of coastal islands, evergreen forests, lush valleys, and snow-capped mountains from which to draw, she wants to bring the best of nature to your home, wherever you may be.

Show off your home chef skills with these beautifully handcrafted grater plates!

Grater plates have their origin in the ancient Roman, Hindu, and Japanese cultures. The ceramic plates are a delightful surprise for first-time users. They can be used to grate, smash, peel, and crush all sorts of fruit, vegetables, and spices. The list of foods that you can grate with the grating plate is almost endless! Prep + Serve! Clean up is fast since you can grate your food directly on the base of the plate. These are a cute and colorful alternative to metal and electric graters, grinders, and microplanes.

Dishwasher and microwave safe. 

Available in 3 sizes:

• SMALL 5" diameter (12.5cm x 2.5cm)
• MEDIUM 6" diameter (15cm x 5cm)
• LARGE 7.5" diameter ( 19cm x 5cm)

FAQ:

How do I get the grated content out of the inside of the plate?
We can easily remove its content in different ways, we can do it with a kitchen brush (or even a toothbrush that we use for this purpose), we can do it by gently passing our finger and dragging the content out, we can dilute the grated content with a little oil or water to help us drag the grated food, or we can turn the plate over so that the content of the grated food falls out.

In the case of dry foods such as nutmeg, Parmesan cheese, almonds, or stale bread, it is best to grate these foods with the dry plate. In the case of garlic, you can pour a little oil on the plate and thus facilitate its removal and enjoy the garlic already mixed with the oil.

Jewelry Care:

Raw Brass - The most used metal in my designs---- Brass is a beautiful metal that when new or polished has a beautiful bright gold for very reasonably priced jewelry. Raw brass will tarnish or spot over time, but I believe it adds to the character. TO CLEAN RAW BRASS - Use a Brillo pad, steel wool, or scuff pad. These are available in hardware and homeware stores. Most people have one of them under their kitchen sink! 

Antiqued Brass - Brass that has been fully patina-ed already. This metal will not change from the state you receive it in.

14k gold plated and white gold plate - The most affordable option that will darken if worn often. If you would like replacement hooks for your earrings just send me an email. I would be happy to send you some free of charge.

Rhodium Plated ( silver ) - A lovely silver finish that holds its color.

Antiqued Silver - Rhodium silver that has been fully patina-ed already. This metal will not change from the state you receive it in.

Sterling Silver - Sterling silver is a beautiful metal that if not worn regularly can oxidize to a dark metal patina. Great almost pure metal ( .925) for those with sensitive ears. Easily cleaned up with silver polish you can buy at any hardware or general store. 

Black Powdercoat - These pieces are made with steel or copper bases and have a thick paint like surfaced on them. Very heavy duty and have a beautiful matte look. This metal will not change from the state you receive it in but if it gets dirty, it is easily cleaned up with a wet cloth.

All life on this planet is stimulated and touched by the moon, especially those who thrive in the dark. The oceans move back and forth in direct response to the moon. The moon is a life-affirming symbol that appears to be always changing. The so called Luna, half moon, or sickle of the moon, also waning and waxing moon, is a sign of fertility, related to life and death, and thus a popular symbol in many religions. It pinpoints changing seasons, ebb and tide, and the feminine menstrual cycle.

This beautiful ring is hand cut and hammered for a rustic feel to mimic the spots on the moon. Copper moon measures approximately 3/4 inch tall and is soldered to sterling silver ring. Available in your choice of size.

Beverly Patterson started making pickles for her husband several years ago. Lou, (her husband), was given a low-sodium diet by his doctor. Well, Lou loved his pickles and Beverly couldn't see him suffer without the one thing he enjoyed the most; pickles. After several years of making pickles and giving them to friends and family everyone encouraged Beverly to share her passion with the rest of the world. Great Lakes Pickling Company was born from this passion. As Beverly and Lou were heading down the pickle aisle of their local grocery store Lou stopped at the very long display of pickles. When Beverly asked why, Lou replied, "You have to look here and see what is missing and make that." With those words, Beverly has let her imagination run wild, giving us the several unique varieties that we offer.

Copper Country

Shimmering metallic copper nail polish. Inspired by Keewanaw Peninsula in Michigan, heart of Copper Country. The Copper Country is highly unusual among copper-mining districts in that the copper was predominantly in the form of copper metal – "native copper" – rather than the copper oxides or copper sulfides that form the copper ore at almost every other copper-mining district. Mining was prevalent there from 1845 until the late 1960s, with one mine (the White Pine mine) continuing through 1995. In its heyday in the early 20th century, the area was the world's greatest producer of copper.

Handmade nail polish that pulls inspiration from the everyday beauty of Michigan's towns, nature, festivals, and people.

Northern Nail Polish uses the most natural, vegan ingredients known to form a long lasting, chip resistant nail polish that can be easily removed by our natural and nourishing soy-based polish remover. All polishes are 10-toxin-free, cruelty-free and vegan, and pigmented with minerals so they won’t leave stains on your nails after removal! I think people come back because of the quality. They buy it first because of the cute name or the color, but then they keep coming back because they love the long lasting finish, knowing they can wear nail polish without feeling like they are being exposed to harmful chemicals.
