Last week I spent a totally relaxing seven (seven!) days recharging with the fam at a lake cottage in Northern Michigan. (Also know as, truly the most beautiful place on earth. Fo sho.) Growing up in suburban Detroit, summers "up north" were a right of passage and are responsible for some of my most favorite childhood memories: days spent with (lots and lots of) family and food; afternoons at the beach, hunting for Petoskey stones; put-put games, outside ice cream eating, exploring the local towns (presumably for more ice cream), and many, many games of Euchre.
Since moving to the other side of the lake, these Northern escapes have happened much less frequently. Grandparents have passed, family has scattered... and the drive from Wisconsin includes an infuriating 7+ hour trip arrrround the lake. Maddening.
I was, however, pleasantly surprised to find that very little has changed. Still lots of family and food. Lazy, sunburned, hours on the beach, maybe a little more wine and a few less ice cream cones (to be expected). But otherwise, I was able to unplug and derail from life's scheduled plans and make time for things I enjoy doing. Like sewing, sketching and eating cherry pie. (Admittedly some of those things are more relevant to this post then others.)
Anyways, because of this little breather I was able to catch up on pending projects, do a little brand building and will be posting goods here, on the website, and on etsy. I'll also be unveiling processes, products and snippets on the blog throughout July.
So yay. Here we go.
