Gather Goods Co

Gather Goods Co Gift Shop & Coworking Space in Downtown Cary By Designer Michelle Smith • Gather Goods Co is an online shop with a focus on gifts for the home, garden & self.

We are based in downtown Cary, North Carolina. Our shop features a curated selection of well made artisanal gift products: local foods, bath salts and oils, plants and terrariums, jewelry, apparel and accessories for men and women, note cards and local foods, the majority of which are made by North Carolina designers. In addition, we host craft, food, gardening and business classes at locations around the Triangle. SHOP

The majority of goods carried by Gather are made by micro artisan / maker entrepreneurs meaning goods made by emerging business owners who hand-craft or manufacture their goods in small quantities. Gather’s owner Michelle is herself a maker entrepreneur who specializes in textiles, and home goods. Michelle’s goal is to elevate the work of these makers so that Gather’s customers appreciate the value of the product they are purchasing and the time and care that went into the making of each piece.

If you’re looking to get in the fall mood this colorful dried flower wreath class is so fun. In this class you’ll get a mini grapevine wreath to adorn with a vast array of beautiful dried flowers. This is a creative, relaxing and very hands-on but not difficult class. Dried flower wreaths are best for hanging indoors vs outside where they may fade but will otherwise last forever if cared for properly. This class is on Monday, September 28 at 6pm. There are only six spots left so if you’re interested in attending, you should sign up soon. All classes are held in our upstairs classroom space in the Gather Goods Co shop in downtown Cary. If you’re interested in hosting a corporate or teambuilding event or private party of your own on a different date, our calendar is booking up quickly. We can host between 4 to 12 people and can teach any of our classes on a date of your choosing if we can coordinate it far enough in advance. See you soon! ✨

Starting this afternoon through this weekend (or until we run out) we are giving away free mini flower arrangements with leftovers from my flower arranging classes with any purchase in the shop. Susan, a longtime customer was here this afternoon helping me and we chatted about trips abroad and backpacking and her favorite local band Lonnie Walker who actually played at one of my Rock & Shop Market events way back when. See you soon in the shop and pick up some flowers for you (or a friend) to brighten your day! ☀️

Here’s my preppy garden party mahjong mat that I designed with my sedum succulent flower art paired with a teal square table cloth, pink racks and olive green Drake tiles. What do you think of this combination? I carry all of these items in the shop and online and lots of other mahjong tiles, racks, bags and accessories!

Before you walk into the doors to attend a class there are hours spent planning, promoting, acquiring supplies, handling admin (and a million emails and DM’s to respond to about “can I move this date to this one”), carting said supplies from one spot to another, setting up, making sure there are enough drinks and snacks on hand. During the class, it is conversations and hosting and teaching. Then after, it is cleaning up the mess, getting the space back in order, planning for the next use of the space or class coming up. I really enjoy coming up with the classes, teaching them and facilitating them. This is a small part of that process. On Sunday I’m teaching a watercolor painting class and on the Thursday following that a dried flower wreath class. Do either of those look like ones you’d like to attend? Space is limited!

If you are free between 1-3pm tomorrow (Wednesday) and want to make little flower arrangements to give away at the shop with extras from my classes let me know. It’s always fun and relaxing to work with your hands and flowers alongside others and you’ll get to take one home too! ☺️ I’ll be making them upstairs. Post a comment below or send me a DM if you plan on joining. 💗

So I am usually juggling a lot of projects and one thing that is helpful for me to stay on task is this monthly project planner that I created. It has a spot in the beginning where you can list out your important dates for the month and then it’s got a couple pages where you can just brain dump everything for the month on a blank sheet of paper and then you can put those brain dumps into color coordinated boxes by project. Then behind that I have colored project pages, which can coordinate with the brain dump colors and buckets you’ve already created. One side of the project list is blank and the other is lined for tasks so you can use multiple sides of your brain when thinking about your project. At the end of the planner is another calendar and date list so that you can list upcoming projects for the coming month to have easily accessible too. There are four color ways in these project planners and I use a different color each season and quarter, so say all yellow for fall and then all purple for winter, etc..

Did you know that you can rent out our community room upstairs for private meetings, corporate retreats, personal events, and classes? Apex based interior design company tewdesignstudio is using our community room today for their teambuilding retreat. Later this afternoon I will teach them flower arranging class in a private class just for them up here as well. 🌺
