There’s just something about a morning on Lake Erie. 💙

I’m spending today at the Huron Lake Front Market surrounded by the water, good people, and all the places that inspire so much of what I create.

From island maps and lake art to turtles, lighthouses, and little reminders of our favorite shoreline, every piece has a bit of the lake woven into it.

If you’re out enjoying this beautiful day, stop by and say hello. I’d love to hear your favorite Lake Erie spot. 🌊⚓️

📍 Huron Lake Front Market
⏰ Today 9 AM - 3 PM

What’s the one place on Lake Erie that always feels like home to you?

2025 wasn’t perfect, but it was real.

It was early mornings, late nights, caffeine, paint on my hands, sawdust on everything, and conversations that reminded me why I do this in the first place. I got to hear your lake memories, your family stories, and what these pieces mean to you. That’s the part I carry with me.

Going into 2026, I want to stay grounded and keep building slowly and intentionally.
And I hope this next year gives you more calm days, more meaning, and more moments that feel like standing near the water and taking a deep breath. 💙
